Like it says. TIA.

If anyone is reading this and is on church or considering going there, please be vigilant. Honestly I would avoid going there in the first place as it’s too fucking crowded and frankly not enjoyable at all , but if you do please be aware that pickpockets are opening bags and stealing. They can even snatch your phone out of your hand if it’s by your side and you probably wouldn’t even be able to tell who it is because it’s just that crowded.

What was you it favorite costume?

For those out of the loop: this is a bill being pushed through the Legislature by Doug Ford's cabinet which aims to remove bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University on the unfounded and at best misguided premise that it'll reduce traffic for drivers.

Issues with this bill include cyclist safety, a likely reduction in traffic efficiency both during and after the removal of the lanes, cost to the province (who has volunteered to pay for the removal), to name the greatest hits.

Yes, this bill is cynical and it's clearly been drawn up in bad faith. It's also most likely an excuse to contract someone connected to the government who can line their pockets as they do the work. I'm frankly tired of this issue which has been discussed ad nauseam on here, on r/ontario, in the news, on socials, you name it.

This public comment form feels like the last line of defence to get the government to fuck off on this issue, and while I'm 90% sure the province won't take the public comments seriously, maybe this can serve as some kind of paper trail down the line.

If you've got a couple minutes out of your day, please go ahead and fill out the form expressing your thoughts on the matter.

I was just walking through the crowd and felt someone behind me get really handsy... At first I thought "alright, it's church and I have nothing in my back pocket".

So I let them pass in the crowd and then saw the same guy, an older gentleman, put his hand in the next person's pocket beside me... So I called him out instantly. Making it loud.

Next thing I know two other people who were working with him got in my face. Saying "I'm drunk and harassing them" so I said Ok, let's walk to the police... So we did, and explained to them what happened, gave them my info etc.

I think we all know this has been an issue the last couple events... And I had zero issue calling them out.

A low showing in Princess Anne Manor this year. Only 18! Evidently, this ranch-bungalow ridden neighbourhood is not a favourite amongst the kids.

Let’s hear how many everyone else got in the 2024 edition of the Trick-or-Treater Toronto Count!

Which neighborhood had the best candy? Which treat was your favourite? Which did you trade?

I was in the Fisherville area and hit up every house in a 3km radius with a pillow case. Chips took up a lot of space but I loved the Ruffles. I'd trade Coffee Crisp and Rockets if I could get anyone to take them.

Toronto needs more protected bike lanes, not less. Crosstown routes and North South routes are also badly needed to connect communities with the core.
