It may not have been your intention, but the word "thug" is typically used in the context of veiled racism. The etymology of the word is also racist. Basically, don't say thug.

The Raptors made it political by putting the premier, pm and mayor on stage.

Meh. Politicians showing up to these type of events is fairly standard.

It's Ford's own fault that his policies have made him unpopular. There's no sugar coating it.

I'm just sad there were no milkshakes available

I got the day off and watched it on TV, which was amazing untill the shooting happened. This could have been an horrific disaster when you got that many people in one spot and some stupid thug opens fire.

4 people shot during Raptors rally at Nathan Phillips Square

I must admit as I stood on Lakeshore and Lower Simcoe watching the parade that I felt a very little but real tinge of worry and I made sure to keep my exits clear.

It will be an exciting rebuild year now. Good on Masai for refusing to trade Spicy P and OG.
I expect to see the aging core traded before the deadline this season, and hopefully the real fun begins by the 2020 draft
