Toronto, shiny happy people?

On the face of it, Toronto is a clean, vibrant city with lots of nice shiny buildings, a scenic waterfront and bags of culture.

However, this seems to come with a price.

You can’t seem to walk 100 metres without being approached by a homeless person wanting money. The problem is worse at night. On the steps of the hotel I’m staying in, not more than five minutes ago there was a drunk homeless person just outside the doors hassling the other people and I was approached by another wanting money.

I have no idea what the city’s policies are to tackle this problem, but I have a fleeing that whatever plans they have in place, it doesn’t look like it’s enough.

Anyway, on to the next city … how I love business travel …
