As politicians talk recovery and employers tentatively roll out back-to-office plans, Toronto’s downtown streets seem at times almost as ghostly empty as they were at the height of the pandemic.
And new data may point to a reason why: recovery in the city’s once bustling downtown core is lagging behind not just the GTA, but Canada overall.
Across the country, downtowns have struggled more in comparison to the other regions of Canada’s major cities, but the gap is widest in Toronto, said Marcy Burchfield, vice-president of the Economic Blueprint Institute, an initiative by the Toronto Region Board of Trade.
That’s God’s punishment for re-electing that punk.
