Can t dot posters tell me if parkdale & alexandra park are 'hood'? (by Canada standards)

Do they have significant black populations?

Parkdale is more gentrified, more hipster-ish.

Alexandra Park is one of Toronto's first hoods, they've started tearing it down. It has a lot of blacks but just as much of other minorities as well

No i met alot of british people tho..that country is straight fukked tho they treat you by what kinda passport you got. I went back in 2013 and i still needed visa cause uae gov had beef with canada gov over which airlines can go to pearson consistently i guess canada made a deal with qatar airlines instead so uae got all but hurtt and made canadians get visas to get into uae. But they changed it at july 2013 when i left:aicmon:

That isn't true, the dispute was not about limited landing rights in the UAE. The Canadian contention was that Emirates and Etihad have an unfair advantage because of their extensive government backing. Limiting their landing rights in Canada was about protecting Air Canada. What that does for Canadians at large is questionable, since our national carrier is terrible.

It wasnt about landing rights in DXB but the point is very true that theres an imbalance in landing rights between UAE and alot of countries and Canada is one of them...

Osheaga is dope. I went two years ago to see Kendrick and Big BOi. Was a good time.
my advice is to NOT drive there but take the subway and it will take you right to the park.

But MTL itself you will have no shortage of places to have a good time.

I went last year to see Outkast and it was a great set.... do you think watching this game on Saturday then going to Osheaga is do-able? Game should be over at around 5:30. Would miss earlier acts but don't care as long as I catch Kendrick.
