‘No fun city:’ Residents, councillor speak out against tobogganing ban at 45 hills across Toronto

Residents are speaking out about the impact of the tobogganing ban on 45 hills across Toronto.

East Lynn Park was one of the parks that was assessed using the city’s toboggan hill inspection program, which was implemented in 2017.

The process deemed the park unsafe due to “several permanent obstacles and safety hazards onsite, including a staircase, wading pool, field house building, light poles and trees.”

Nearby residents say tobogganing on this hill has been popular for decades and say that hay bales and fences are usually put up to make it safer, but not this year.

Jack, a neighbourhood resident, said he and his friends will spend all day on the hill during the winter.

“Normally, we have two or three ramps built up will stay here from 9 in the morning ’til 10 on night. We’ll just stay all day long. Have fun.” He was upset to hear the city put a ban in place, but said it likely wouldn’t affect whether he uses the hill.

As Trudeau says “people holding unacceptable views”.

The little people must be punished!

Leftists are such fascists. Omnipresent moral busybodies will torment society forever. Seriously. They will never stop until everything is illegal. Except sexual perversion. That’s their hobby horse.

Remember years ago when we all made disparaging fun of the old dull, drab, and always gray Soviet Union with frequent pictures of a sullen population? I swear these Western cultural Marxists will not stop until they can fully replicate this miserable existence. This is what they want.

The only difference in Soviet Communists and Modern Western Communists is which Communists are at the top giving orders.

The orders are the same.
