If you want crowds, they are on the other side of City Hall, on Ontario St., watching the buskers.

A great day .... the running of the moose was fun (like the running of the bulls, but the moose are faster and deadlier) ... petting the grizzlies ... baby seal clubbing contest ... whale blubber eating contest .... good clean Canadian fun

That too ... but Canadians can't resist the opportunity of some good, clean, dangerous fun (baby seal clubbing is not dangerous, but what Canadian can resist this form of recreation) .... did I mention the skunk petting zoo

Eric...you have left yourself wide open for this one.
Two years ago I was in Pamplona for the running of the bulls.
Three 'Jack the Lads' from Canada dressed only in red thongs that left nothing to the imagination had the impression that the thongs would prevent a horn up the arse.... wrong.
You have to be very brave or very stupid to attempt the bull run and these three characters....part drunk I might, add paid the penalty of having an extraction, and I don't mean teeth.
Leave it to the locals....they know best.

Ah, my fellow countrymen, always up for a good time, crazy Canucks .... what can you expect from a nation that invented hockey ....
Very few people remember the 2nd Battle of Ypres in 1915, when the Germans used poison gas for the first time, Chlorine gas .... after the French legged it (developing a strategy they used to good effect in 1940) the crazy canucks of the First Canadian Division peed on their handkerchiefs, stuck them on their faces, and drove the Germans back at bayonette point .... after this, tangling with bulls, even if you are wearing only a thong the color of the Maple Leaf, is a piece of cake.
