This holiday proved to be a busy one along South Bayview as many people came out under sunny skies. Above, the broad sidewalks were full. Right, a lady basks in the sunshine and the glow of her latte. Below, time for pictures and yes, absolutely everyone was out. Patios were full and shops had lots of customers. It was a statutory holiday. As many will know, City staff has recommended to the Council that all impediments to business be removed during such days. For reasons that are unclear, City Council has not taken action. As people thronged South Bayview they were making another statement about popular sentiment on this question. The Eaton Centre benefits from the doubtful notion that it’s a Tourist Area. But the issue is not tourism. The issue is equality under the charter. No disrespect, no tourism, no confusion — just what the Constitution requires. Hope you all enjoyed. Holiday shopping on South Bayview
