I was in Toronto recently, for a book promotion and a public speaking tour and to just generally be amazing in a new place. One day, I was on the Toronto public transit system, which is called the TTC, when I noticed a sign that said, “One TTC employee is assaulted every day. That’s one too many.” I found it a rather odd message, because it seemed to suggest that while the behavior was wrong, it was an expected daily occurrence. One might take from that message that if you feel the impulse to assault a TTC employee, well, you’re not the only one.
