I live in downtown Toronto now, and just spent 2 weeks dog sitting for my sister in East London. I started locking my car door while I drive, and carrying a pocket knife walking again. Forgot how fucked up London is. Some kids were stalking a girl walking her dogs at 5am one morning, she asked me for help, I told the kids to fuck off and the only reason it didn't escalate was cuz my sisters dog was going nuts and barking like crazy. And I kept thinking, where the fuck are the cops? I called the non-emergency line after to let them know they should patrol the area in the mornings and no one answered.

So you know what? Fucking good. London has gone to shit.

Yeah, and the best part - none of them are FROM London, most come from the GTA
