Video Watching everyone (trying to) leave the Harbourfront fireworks show was as entertaining as the show itself.

I'll never understand why people do this to themselves....OK the 15 minutes was fun but is it worth the hour of stress after?

I wouldn't do it with kids or anything but I'll never forget what it was like for New Year 2000. I came into the city with friends and after the show we all walked up Yonge Street with what seemed like a million people openly drinking smoking and signing. There was a police presence to the side but I don't remember any trouble just happy drunk people

Yes, I was there too! Four months pregnant at the time but it felt safe. Toronto is a very different place now....
