CNE Kicking off

The opening ceremony was held Friday morning under the Princes’ Gates to declare the official opening of the Canadian National Exhibition. David Zura has the day one Ex experience, and why the city's mayor calls it a bonding opportunity for Toronto.

They need to extend CNE runtime, the current 2 weeks only worked when Canada still had around 30 million population.

So true. The additional 9 million canadians will need another week to get there. Sound thinking.

How long till the first shooting? Anyone want to guess?

I'll pass this year. Too expensive. A family of 4, plus food and rides is almost a $350 day. And besides, Toronto isn't really safe anymore.

Toronto Is noisy and has packed streets, though is lively and has great entertainment.
