Wild. I was a kid in 1987 and my family visited Toronto. We went to this same museum, which I think was called the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) and we also have a bunch of camcorder video of it inside. We very well could have been at the museum on this same day. I grew up in Michigan, and at the time it was my first experience being in another country. Even though Ontario has a lot of the same feel overall as places in the midwestern U.S. like Michigan.

@TheIronDuke9 Ай бұрын

That was the year rollings and swarmings really started happening. If you were a teenager wearing Doc Martins or other valuable gear and you were alone on the subway or in a mall etc there was a good chance you would be jumped and robbed - lots of times you wouldn't even be hurt, they just rip what they wanted from you and split, but sometimes you get beat up as well. The media really picked up on it by 89 and then by the early 90's it had died down and teenage swarmings weren't a thing much after that

@@gregcosta6965 Because the zoning laws do not allow density outside certain places, it must be very tall to accommodate demand. I think people would be more mad if you tore up homes in their neighborhood to build medium density than to have high density on major arterioles where there is abundant food, fun and transit.

@@InADarkTavern *** zoning by laws. Canada has tons of space. Toronto ain't Hong Kong where space is limited so you have to build upward. No this is an act of greed. The mayors and city officials are in the backpockets of the corporations( in this case builders of condos and other real estate moguls). What is being done is an urban travesty.
