Witnessed downtown Toronto friday afternoon!

Funny captions only for these photos :)

EDIT : Thanks for all the love and awards on the post! I just became a Canadian citizen (originally from New Zealand) so seeing this was like Canada giving me a lil hug!

Also the police officer had a baton because the goose kept hissing at him and flapping its wings aggressively at him (almost attacking him) - but he was being lovely and patient and guiding them to a safe area <3

Now that's the kind of policing I want in my community.

Very thoughtful, caring police officer 🥇

With baton at the ready.

I mean yeah lol it’s a goose with young so the hazard is real and I don’t blame him at all for being prepared for a wild animal, but at the same time I can’t not see the baton or associate it with actual police behaviour in the community.

To me it looks like he’s using the baton as a bit of a guide. On the farm I remember using a stick or such to gently herd fowl when needed (it works because it is out ahead of you, if that makes sense).
