Just got home from 3 days in Toronto, stayed downtown. Was approached by two panhandlers, once before and once after coming out of a theater on Yonge Street, both fairly aggressive with sticking their Tim Horton's cup in my face, but when I said no, they left us alone. Took a cab back to the hotel from the theatre, because it was late, I thought more of the creeps may be out at night.
But overall, was a nice visit, haven't been to Toronto for many years, and my son really enjoyed it, so that made it worthwhile.
I read this story when we got home and was pretty horrified.
