I’ve seen one of these birds grab a whole pizza out of someone’s hands at the crowded Granville Island dock & fly away with it. They are bold, determined & hella strong.

I had a similar experience. Bull Alley didn’t do LC, so nearest vocational secondary was Rathmines. Disaster. I was actively bullied by the principal. He tried to pin vandalism on me because of my D8 address. Was told nothing good would come of people like me, he who laughs last laughs in PhDπŸ€ͺ
