“What is up with some people’s complete disrespect for our public spaces? It doesn’t require a huge amount of effort and discipline to keep our streets, sidewalks, parks and shorelines clean. Yet some of us appear incapable.”

    I do not understand how in this day and age there are are people that just think 'I’ll just dump this here on the street "

      It’s even more amazing that people will toss a lit cigarette butt in the middle of droughts.

      Like I almost get why someone is so lazy they don’t care if things look or smell bad but casual arson is a hell of a leap.

        Honestly and unironically, the punishment for littering needs to be a lot harsher, and strictly enforced.

        Leave a coffee cup on the ground? Jail.
        Don’t pick up your dog’s shit? Jail.
        Toss a cigarette butt on the sidewalk? Straight to jail, no trial.

      by us (not in canada, but your shittier southern neighbour), it’s all beer cans.

      like, bad enough you’re driving while chugging a tallboy of natty ice, but you gotta throw it in our yard on your way by, too?

      i shouldn’t be surprised that the venn diagram is a circle, but for some reason i always am.
