PhotoTO: Pedestrian Sunday
Yesterday marked the return of Pedestrian Sunday to Kensington Market, with a celebration of spring that included parades, music, acrobatics, environmental displays, and a giant piñata that transformed into a butterfly (above).
There’s a Pedestrian Sunday on the last Sunday of every month during the summer, plus a bonus event August 17th to mark the anniversary of the 2003 Toronto Blackout.

I see the hippies were out in full force.
I see mothers, daughters, husbands, friends: I see pedestrians.

Don’t worry PickleToes; while those hippies were out enjoying themselves, the Young Conservatives Society was feverishly plotting a sweeping set of anti-fun laws to be put in effect when the right wing takes back city hall.
“I see the hippies were out in full force.”
Well, it IS Kensington Market afterall.
A great event, taxpayers should embrace these in every neighbourhood instead of expensive wasteful and soulless extravaganzas we usually see.
This is a beautiful functional area with a mix of small restaurants, bakeries, fresh meat, fresh produce markets, a tailor, vintage clothes and homes with all ages of people.

Yeah, I guess you’ve never really lived until you’ve had an abortion.

Ha! Yeah, exactly.
…wait, what?
Pickletoes, quit trolling … “abortion”? WTF?
Tuds
I’m not a troll. I wish I had an equally dehumanizing name for you.
Pedestrian Sunday drew more people than that eco/green street sell-a-thon on Yonge the day before, from what I saw of both.
And you are a troll, Pickle Toes.
Pickletoes, you are right, I apologize. I shouldn’t call names and I take it back. As they say “Don’t criticise the person, criticise the idea.”
Well, your idea is ignorant, offensive, belligerent, and irrelevant to the topic. At least this time it wasn’t illiterate, misinformed, and bigoted as many other comments of yours are.
Cheers,
Tuds
… but to be precise, I said you “were trolling”, not that you “are a troll”. There is a difference.
Tuds
I can appreciate the difference between being a troll and trolling. Nevertheless, I thank you for your apology even if it did carry conditions.
My appreciation is similarly conditioned. I don’t care if my post was off topic, it was in reply to an equally off topic statement. What’s more, I consider abortion to be ignorant of the sanctity of life, belligerent towards morality, and apt to cast defenceless babies into irrelevance.
Turning to rek: I’ll reiterate, I’m a person not a troll. Help me OHRC, on this blog I’m a minority and I’m being discriminated against!

Hm.
I hear if you stop feeding them, they go away…
Yeah, maybe that will work for rek and Tuds.
