I think we had a really great day today. I got a lot of positive comments from people, and more than a handful stopped to talk to me about why we were there and why we wore masks. I think they were pretty responsive once I explained.

Some people really wanted flyers; one woman had bags in both hands so she asked for me to put on into the stuff she was carrying. Two cars also stopped in the intersection to ask me for flyers, which was pretty funny.

There were also a lot of people who didn't want flyers but would say things like "I agree with you!" or "I'm on your side," which was pretty nice.

On the whole the young people out in their red t-shirts seemed pretty miserable. They came up to Charles & Yonge for a bit to meet on that patio for their lunch break, I assume. One of them told Tom to "fuck off" but the rest wouldn't say anything or make eye contact. They didn't seem to be having a really fun day like we were. Poor saps.

I arrived with 500 flyers and shared them out and by about 2:30 they were all gone.

Good day.
