Canada is about to embrace the world when it hosts the FIFA World Cup. Thousands of tourists are expected to descend on Toronto. I pity them.
The city used to be compared to the guy you wanted your daughter to date: Clean and safe. We may have been a tad boring, but everyone loved us. We were polite. Not anymore. Toronto’s become the filthy, dangerous place where you can’t even get on a streetcar or subway without finding someone doing drugs or sleeping off a hangover across three seats. No one cares and no one bothers to do anything about it, least of all Mayor Olivia Chow. My property taxes have gone up more than 18% since she became mayor. And the city is a dump.
