If you are travelling to Toronto beware that we have an ongoing Civic Employees strike.
Our neutered city council is unable/unwilling to resist the union's outrageous demands so we have collapsed into chaos, held hostage by domestic insurgents. At times you may find your free passage of movement blocked by strikers.
Here are pictures I've found of Garbageland:

Parks are not maintained, ambulances are slowing non-critical service.
Welcome to Toronto, please do not feed the rats!
