Jump Up, Jump Up!! Who's going to Caribana Parade/Party this long weekend?

[gretzky99]

I know RFD has been a proud supporter of this event for the last couple of years, so can we get a headcount of RFDers that are gonna Jump, Jump, Jump during this festival at CNE/Lakeshore Blvd. :D

You're in luck, my friend...the event is still Jumping on Sunday and Monday.
So you got no more excuses. :)

[ThinkOutsideTheBox]

this by no mean a racist or targeted toward any ethnic community.

but merely based on past event. I'm not going because I don't want to get shot.

Cool event > self preservation

So, based on your equation, you'll be participating? Cool event is greater than self preservation?

[wilsonlam97]

Maybe this year it will be crime free? -fingers crossed-

Full lane closure on Lake Shore Blvd West in both directions from Strachan Av to Colborne Lodge Drive.

Cool.

So I could still blast down the Gardener in my Carrera, popped collar(s) top down, blasting Beach Boys tunes ...

[Badman]

jump and wave!!!!!

Parade should pass by markham just for RFD!

[stealth]

Nah, I hate crowds and avoid them at all costs.

[deltone]

Nah, I hate crowds and avoid them at all costs.

Sounds like me. Even IF I go to a concert, I always leave a few minutes before it's over so that I don't get caught up in the crowd.

[Jimboski]

Nah, I hate crowds and avoid them at all costs.

Agreed, Plus the heat too!

[matdwyer]

Ain't nobody got time for that

[funkyfr3sh_]

Despite all the negativity, I still think Caribana is a good time! Won't be going this year since I am going away but Ive had fun in the past!!!

[Forhad]

I wish, I could attend. Little busy this weekend.

[transitguy1]

Just to watch people in skimpy clothing?

I can do that from home. This whole charade is nothing but commercial business. Well, they all are (all occasions).

Are taxpayers footing the bill for this crap? I remember a lot of garbage leftover after and the city had to clean it up last time.

God forbid we displease the carribeanish folks.

I hope the Jews and the Muslims and the Hindus start asking the city to fund their charades too. For equality and spreading the funding

[heyhey]

I wanted to go to that paint/mud party. But the tickets are sold out :(

[Hitman21]

I dont think its safe to go there BUT its still more family friendly than that other parade that took place not too long ago

[sandikosh]

I will be in Buffalo shopping. Caribana means nothing ti me.

[LaserEnvy]

Why don't we have an Asian Culture Parade?

[Simaahoy]

Italian parade plz

[wilsonlam97]

Why don't we have an Asian Culture Parade?

We do. It's the taste of Asia thing +pmall.

It has enough Asian culture. And we take over a street so it counts.

It certainly does not count. I want to see the streets of downtown Toronto shut down to make room for a mile long parade of Asians dancing around in thongs. Equality!

[Simaahoy]

Will there be free gift bags?

[appleb]

Gift bags, no. Tea bags, yes.

[iridium001]

Gift bags, no. Tea bags, yes.

Has there ever been a Caribanna where no one got shot? No really, not joking..stop laughing guys!

[coolspot]

Stinky Tofu is deadly :D

[wilsonlam97]

A Brazilan style parade would be much better for the eyes!

racism is heavy in this thread

[kingofwale]

why am I the only one having my post deleted by mod because I suggested prior year incidentS???

besides, way too hot outside, staying home to watch the olympics

[willdacanucker]

Lol. Buy the wife a pepper spray
Nope. those Caribana people are known for their tolerance to hot peppers and spicy food. :lol: ( I mean that NOT in a racist way whatsoever) I will take my german sheppard for a stroll @ night to pick the ol lady up. ;)

TORONTO - Police were searching through thousands of revellers at the Caribbean Carnival parade Saturday in Toronto for six suspected gunmen who they allege are armed and dangerous.

More like the truth.

[neutral]

It is a damn shame that this is the ONLY time of the year, that I need to escort my wife home from work after her evening shift, because of these ne'er-do-wells that ruin the neighbourhoods and make them unsafe where this festival happens.

Was there an actual incident? My guess is it was probably consensual and she didn't want to admit it.

[yao416]

When there are gun shots
Just grab somebody and use them as a human shield

Tell your kids this tip

:idea::idea:
Would That be attempted murder?

[willdacanucker]

Hence the reason we are going on Maury Povich to sort things out next month. ;)

Would you be prepared if there was an Asian festival and we brought stinky tofu?

[willdacanucker]

Would you be prepared if there was an Asian festival and we brought stinky tofu?
Would be more tolerant of this because Asians in general have a far better track record of being well behaved and respectful of the neighbours. Of course there are bad seeds in any culture, but the record in this case, speaks for itself.

From the same article: "Several dozen people were arrested for gun offences or detained for breaching bail or parole conditions. "

Sounds like Caribana is fun as usual.

[Simaahoy]

Nothing happened yet,a miracle so far..

[willdacanucker]

There are also 5,550 cops per square meter right now in Liberty Village and Parkdale. Nice window dressing.

:-0:-0:-0:-0:-0:-0:-0

it's official, there are more gun carrying CITIZENS than police.

[Simaahoy]

Did anyone actually go?:razz:

[Insane_Pikachu]

I went today for my first Caribana experience. I captured this awesome moment. I wish I could have taken a shot when it happened. I had to see it with my own eyes and not through the lens.
Lucky he didn't fall off the truck that was going 1km/hr

You sir. have literally blown my mind

Yeah, he had a good like 10 seconds to turn around but the bridge just pwned him. If his head was hit, that wouldve been bad.

[Katchemash]

I don't think so. Just actual observation. I am not a racist, just a realist that lives in the neighbourhood surrounding the Caribana, and just calling it like it is, according to hard facts and evidence realized by me personally.

No you're a certain ethnicity who clearly hates the people who run this event.

[kingofwale]

No you're a certain ethnicity who clearly hates the people who run this event.

you can prove this how?? Insult his neighborhood, heck, insult him

but insult a ethnic group because someone doesn't like his neighbourhood be a part of the parade?? Give me a break.

btw, who are the "people who run this event"... i was under the impression they change them annually.

It's RFD where people can say the most racist crap that they would never even utter within a 5m vicinity of a black person.

Ignore the racist cowards here. They are boring, lame and predictable.

Caribana was a success and the people who went had a fab time instead of spewing lame hate on msg boards all Saturday.

Lol I've seen more black people say everything people are saying in this thread about caribana than white people...either way this year police presence was like 3 times the usual at least on younge st for sure.. And usually there's 10 cops every corner of every quarter block on each side.. So this year there was like triple that..imagine lol

[Abel4Life]

Ratio of at least 3 cops per wannabe thug. Hopefully that does the job.

[Hitman21]

I was a little disgusted after seeing this, was the cellulite really necessary to expose like that? I almost threw up

That looks like it will hurt.

Note to self: When on top of a moving vehicle, always look forward in the direction that the vehicle is moving.

No you're a certain ethnicity who clearly hates the people who run this event.
That is one hell of an assumption. You don't know me. I hate no one. I strongly dislike trouble makers of ANY race. It would be one thing if EVERY festival was as prone to bad actions as this one, but it is clearly not the case. It also would be one thing if I made a blanket, ignorant assumption, if I did not live anywhere near this thing. I live right bloody there. I see with my own 2 eyes, the arrests, the crime, and the disturbances. It is ONLY when this "festival" comes through. It is ONLY when this "festival" comes through, that I have to take extra precautions for the safety of my wife due to actual past experiences. It is ONLY when this "festival" comes through, that I see 1,500 cops in my neighbourhood that normally would not be there. I do not have to deal with all this when the EX is in full swing even though there are literally thousands of more people filtering through, of all sorts of ethnicities. I do not have to deal with this when the labour day parade comes through. So make your own asinine assumptions.

Who is even thinking of white people? Most people on this site aren't white. And obviously black people talk about other black people, much like Asians talk about other Asians etc.

[yucksta]

If you think caribana is dangerous, never travel anywhere.
