Looting retail outlets is not new in the city, liquor stores were the preferred target a couple of years ago. That seems to be under control now or is simply not being reported any longer.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned having to to be virtually vetted before being allowed in to a locked down drugstore during “normal business hours”. This was due to the number of raids conducted by local “youths.” It was in a strip mall maybe 1000 yards from Rob Ford’s old home.
Last week I filled up at my local gas station. They had just changed over to pre-pay due to the surge in “gas and dash” incidents.
The demon possessed of the TTC homeless shelter are still being dumped out at Kipling station to wander and scream at all hours.
Chow did not cause this. But the comrade will make it far worse far faster than under the usual apparatchiks of our political class.
By the numbers …
On the more serious side of the numbers, voter turnout was higher for this byelection to select the mayor of Toronto than what we saw in last fall’s municipal vote. In October, just 29% of eligible voters cast their ballots but, in this election, it was up to 39% of eligible voters trotting out to fill in the circle.
