The day of Toronto’s demisemiseptcentennial is gone, but it’s never too late to spoil the party. Witness: the stencil spotted above on Queen Street West east of Gladstone, wishing Toronto a happy birthday while blowing out all the candles before the poor city gets a chance to.

    There is also one stencilled on each corner at Yonge and College, iirc.

    Wonder if it’s the same person that did this one and a bunch of other similar quasi-politial stencils I’ve seen around downtown and Queen West?
    As far as street art goes, you have to love them.. They’re original, genuine thought went into them, and even the anti-grafitti crew can’t complain too loudly, ’cause they all seem to be on contruction hoarding and other temporary things.

    I used an image of that stencil in a post once. RealityCheck did not approve.

    Perhaps from the same person who did these last summer: Invest In Sharing (found along Bay Street), and Blame Shifter (found at Harbord and Spadina).
