Right in my part of town. Again.

TTC riders have adjusted their behaviour a bit from the winter panics but still shocking to see this level of violence from what seems to have begun as an argument between apparent strangers.

I feel like de-escalation training should be part of ordering a coffee or waiting for a bus given the rise in post-pandemic everyday interactions that seem to lead almost immediately into stabbings, shootings, etc.
