This short video shows a pro-Palestine march that happened in Toronto a
couple of days ago. It started at Yonge and Dundas, arguably the very
heart of downtown at 7:30 PM, which must still be rush hour given how
rush "hour" has been several hours in the morning and in the afternoon
for many years now. A bystander tries to persuade the demonstrators to
move over to the sidewalk so that emergency vehicles can get down the
streets as well as ordinary commuters. The protesters decline to
cooperate. The police are right there - and do NOTHING.

The whole area is held hostage to these lunatics and people could
literally die if they need a cop, fire truck or paramedic because it
can't get down the road.

Same thing happens here whenever the illegal aliens decide to flood onto the
freeways and shutdown the evening commute. The mayor refuses to let the cops
intervene and put a stop to it. It'd be nice if the CHP or the sheriff's
department would take up the slack since the mayor has no authority over them
but I imagine their bosses all share the same collectivist agenda, too.

This is Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the year 2025.
 
If the Conservatives don't win this election, we'll be stuck with more
years of this nonsense. Heck, even if they win, we might be stuck with
it since Ontario premier Doug Ford is often alleged to be more Liberal
than conservative and Toronto mayor Olivia Chow is definitely from the
left side of the political spectrum. But at least the rest of the
country will have a chance to restore sanity if the Conservatives form
the government.
