Some Parting Thoughts.
It seems like I have just landed and it’s time to go home. Coming back to Canada is not a vacation, it is coming home to my family and doing a few touristy things while I am here. The last two times I have come back I have gone to Niagara Falls for content and breakfast with my editor, Janet. Breakfast was good, but the content sucked. It is not that I am not a fan of Niagara Falls anymore. It is not that it has lost its charm.
Canada had changed.
Living in Canada, you may not notice that it is less safe, our once pride and joy of multiculturalism has taken a dive into thriving chaos. Yes, I have said it and I don’t care.
Parts of Niagara Falls are Crap.
Don’t be mad because it is true. Go for a drive and you will see lovely parts of the immediate Falls, yup that’s true. Please take a walk to any one of the side streets and see the shithole it has turned into. The small hotels are shitty and crappy. I am sure the makeshift kitchens in some of the crappy hotels are not licensed to sell food. The signs look like they come from a third world country and it is a dirty place.
How About the Safety?
Well, let’s not go there. A Range Rover was stolen from in front of my friend’s shop. A Mercedes was brought in with two bullet holes from a man who supposedly went on a Tinder date and was nearly carjacked. There was the TikTok live that I was almost assaulted on at Yonge and Dundas. Plus, a lady that very quickly backed up and put away her phone when I said hello.
Downtown Brampton is filled with drug addicts and homeless people. Tents line the streets of Toronto; I am in a bit of shock.
Witnessing this and other minor things makes me think that we in Canada are in for a struggle and it will not be pretty. If the economy tanks as the experts say it will; this and other problems will multiply. So, for now, let’s say I was disappointed when I came back. I do not see the government doing anything about this as they have had plenty of time to take all this in. Up to now, people I assume have turned a blind eye. Let’s see how long this can go on before the problems are in your face and mine. I am off to my little bubble in Bali…
