I can’t believe how stupid this looks.

And with panic spreading faster than the virus, the once clean and healthy city of Toronto became the pariah of the western world. Restaurants, theatres and streets emptied, and incoming travel and tourism were virtually shut down.

Are they fucking kidding? I barely noticed! Not to diminish the deaths or the effort by the health care workers, but jesus…they make it sound like there were tumbleweeds blowing up Yonge Street! We still went to work, we still used the subway (there were just a few more people than usual wearing masks), we still ate at restaurants and went to movies and played in parks. These idiots are making it sound like the scene at the beginning of 28 Days Later where Jim’s walking around an empty London.

Not that I have a lot of respect for CTV to begin with, but it’s just sad that they have to completely stretch and distort everything in order to exploit the city. Then again, there’s certainly a big Canadian audience who’s willing to watch Toronto take it in the nuts…
