Rex Murphy: That should read a gang of raging tobogganists. It is so difficult to keep up with criminal classifications these days, especially in Toronto. If you have been listening to some of its police and fire authorities, the city is getting wilder than Chicago during Prohibition. There’s a new crime wave afoot, or maybe that should be a-sled.
The gang was the dreaded Downhill Cruisers — their toque colours spandex crimson and canary yellow. Police have warned that if you see any of these young people hauling their oak boards towards a hill in your neighbourhood — go indoors immediately or hide behind a big tree.
Luckily at some locations the police were able to be on site. Having tamed the now famous-in-Toronto barbecue boy, the demands on their mass presence have severely declined. In addition, other conditions have greatly relieved them of supervising many public gatherings.
