April 2026 - Toronto ON Part 2
Biscuit Lane features murals on both sides of the alley, showcasing various pop culture references and cartoon characters.
I had AI recap it for me.
The mural addresses severe social issues in Toronto, including the opioid epidemic, homelessness, and drug addiction.
The text criticizes politicians for focusing on federal issues, such as foreign aid and war, rather than local needs in the downtown core.

P.S. Originally AI said it was in Graffiti Alley (Queen St W), I corrected it.
...and here I thought that I had murals!
