Lock people in their houses for 2 years..... reap the rewards....

What did you think will happen? The longest lockdowns resulted in loss of culture and community. People either got used to solitary life or simply left. This once vibrant city is done. It will take a long time to get it back to once it was, if ever.

Tiff Macklem beats out top federal politicians in Toronto Life magazine's list of most influential TorontoniansToronto Life magazine published its annual ranking of the 50 most influential Torontonians for 2022 last week.
