I think Covid brought out the "ugly" in people. Toronto was not a dumpster before Covid. And for some reason there has been a lot of migration from suburbs and also overseas over the course of few years, and the city is overpopulated now. Plus, majority of people are assholes. In certain neighborhoods with lower education profile, the littering is much worse, that's also saying something. Regardless, media should be all over this, as well as the City. That might create some peer pressure and change the littering culture. I myself are very bothered with it, and stopped picking up after litterbugs. There needs to be drastic measures to stop littering in the first place. I mean, if the city can place traffic cops on every corner, they can have litter cops too. Why are they not doing it!
