As noted yesterday, Toronto celebrated Canada Day by having tons and tons of fetid, steaming garbage heaped all over the city. Do you know what it smells like over here? It smells like the puke of a dog that went on a buffet run through the back alleys of Tijuana. It gets in your mouth it’s so bad. This trash strike is going on 11 days now, and people still smiled when we snapped photos of them standing in front of heaps of consumer waste.

This is John and Dennis, visiting from London. John pointed out that all this garbage is a health hazard. Thanks John! He also cautioned that we’re going to get pigeons. At this point we’re a little more worried about the Plague.

The situation isn’t gross enough to stop Mitra from wearing her flip-flops. 

Bruce is retired “and loving it!” We asked him how he felt about all the trash and he told us that Chinatown is normally about the same.

We stopped these guys after they took these bags out of a minivan. The guy in the red shirt told us that he hates the way Toronto is using public recreational areas for dumps. Then he said, “Let’s go, there’s garbage leaking on me.” Then he dumped his garbage in this public recreational area:

This is Moss Park, a dump at Queen and Sherbourne downtown. It used to be a basketball court.
