Move it to Ontario Place.

Good because its going to get crazy crowded, that's for sure. We don't need angry drivers to ruin the mood.

We need this guy back. Bloody awesome!

City should refund all taxpayers portion of money that goes to maintaining park. There is no other safe way for people to get to park ex pet by car from other parts of the city.

What nonsense is that? Is High Park only for local people? All Torontonians pay taxes for that!

Big fat soggy deal. Who cares. They’re flowers. Not gold bars.
