Ontario wises up


The news is that Ontario regulators, who in the past have forbidden street vendors to sell much beyond hot dogs and sausages, will now allow them to offer a variety of foods that can safely be sold.

I have two reactions. If we are talking about food safety, did they ever think about what's in hot dogs and sausages? (Probably not.)

Also, I think that this is really going to affect the street scene in Toronto, where there is in fact a "street scene." I'd love to think someone is going to be selling samosas in North Bay. Fat chance: there's not enough street action to support hot dog vendors.
