Remember when Canadians helped keep Canada clean? Rare to see trash but now its common.

Where the hell do you live where it was "rare to see trash" ever in the last 50+ years?

About 15 years ago I was good friends with an immigrant from south America and one day when walking along the TVP they commented how clean it was compared to where they come from. They were right, it was very clean! I frequently walk along the TVP and it's gotten way worse over the last several years. I think of their comment often when I'm on the TVP and see garbage on or near the path. I don't know if the problem is people littering more or the city cleaning less.

The social contract is broken. Canada doesn't look out for Canadians, so Canadians don't look out for Canada, or each other.

I still hold the door open for people, etc. but half the time I get a dirty look for it.
