Lol so the official Ontario sub got kind of out of hand during the pandemic, where they were simply banning any users who even questioned silly rules or mandates when it came to Covid (Ontario had many rules that simply didn't make sense or outright seemed counter productive in preventing spread).
It got to the point where an alternative sub was made, and it surprisingly got decently active. I think around 20k users at one point. The banter on that alternative sub was hilarious and was the only sub I really miss.
