Did you also know that there is a gay black pride festival concurrent to Caribana? Isn't it ironic??

I will probably go one of these years so I hope to meet some of the Toronto GCers, especially RACooper. I heard he's cool.

Well gee thanks

The problem with Caribana is that the last few years have seen local gangs/thugs use it as an oppurtunity to settle scores... so every year we see a few shootings and a few stabbings...

However I should point out that any violence is rare and isolated... the biggest problems cops deal with are the usual: drunk and disorderly, lewd conduct, pot, and people using the crowd to cop-a-feel...
