Temporary Forest

Grim warnings of rioting and looting put downtown Toronto under plywood (on top of lockdown) for this past weekend of protests against the death of George Floyd.

But, all the demonstrations were peaceful, even the smattering of yahoos still staunchly denying COVID-19 on the lawn of the legislature. 

Jobs, jobs, jobs.
Job growth in May was stronger than expected. The numbers for June should be even better, at least for guys putting up and then taking down plywood hoarding.

There's less call for this kind of work: anti-lockdown protests have dwindled.

One last photo of a previously non-ironic sign:

Thanks for reading!

 Black lives matter!

    That is funny - New Decade New Style! I am glad that the protest march was peaceful. Very Canadian. Very respectful of what the protest was about - Peace, safety, equality, justice for all. :-)
