Toronto Hijacked Yet Again but Don’t You Dare Criticize

Bike lane tyranny where the miniscule lord over the many

and unlike the Lord brazenly give fingers to motorists while breaking all laws known to cyclists

Charity runs clogging city streets and expressways

Charity walks all over the place “for a noble but perhaps obscure cause”

Brain health

Cancer

Why no mention of Mother Tersea?

Charity and sickness porn playing on collective polite guilt

And the booming business of marathons

Street festivals so the innocent are run over and shot

Culturally so IMPORTANT for the FEW

A massive inconvenience for the MANY

“Global inclusion salesmen” ram the trivial down all our throats

Rainbow flags a marketing opportunity for the Big Banks

Where Pride Day has mushroomed into Pride Year

So obtain a permit to close University Avenue, hospital row, to thank those precious stomach pump operators, all heroes on fabricated national television on slow news days

So what if millions of us don’t have the right to paralyze a city like all the other 64,877?

A global inclusion pity

Makes me feel shitty
