This time around Sarah was there to experience the carnage with me.
As in the past, this year’s Santa Claus Parade had a heavy police presence and everyone looking over their shoulders.
A dour paramilitary presence added somber tones to the distressing gathering.
And, as before, there were crass displays of wanton debauchery and depravity.
It seems few people heeded my warnings. Although I doubt many more will do so next year, it’s my sincere hope that this message will reach at least a few and that the annuals horrors imposed on the city by this event can be alleviated, even if only slightly.
This poignantly apropos image was snapped somewhere in the subterranean bowels of St. Michael’s Hospital some time in late July 2021. Priorities sure were different in those days!
