EDITORIAL: Bat crazy (Jan. 2020)
January 31st, 2020 · Comments Off on EDITORIAL: Bat crazy (Jan. 2020)

City is caught flat-footed as alarm bells ring
By Terri Chu
I was mildly optimistic when Toronto City Council officially declared a “Climate Emergency”, in October, 2019. How naïve I was to think that an “emergency” meant that something might actually happen. The situation appears to me as though teenagers are dialing 911 and screaming in terror into the phone while the operator on the other end says: Please hold, your call is important to us.
