An encounter on a streetcar between a man in a hard hat and a brown-skinned man has been filmed by a another rider who is identified by the CBC as Valeska Griffiths. The hard hat guy is full of anger and racial venom. He also says he was punched by the other man but the CBC reports that Ms. Griffiths says she did not see such a blow. The streetcar was on the St Clair line in the west end. Not a very uplifting experience but part — a small part we hope — of life in Toronto. You can see the video at the CBC newsite.
