Hogtown

It's the spring of 2014, and one citizen, a student named Hart, has had enough of his hometown of Toronto.


There's the lack of jobs, the expensive and substandard housing, the influx of criminals, the congested transit, the dangerous infrastructure, the threats of terrorism and pandemics – and a crack-smoking mayor, too.


No disaster or vice escapes ridicule as Hart gives a witty and scathing farewell address to his friend.


Hogtown is a biting satire in the tradition of Juvenal and Samuel Johnson. An introductory essay and a helpful glossary illuminating the Rob Ford scandal(s) and the other problems facing the city of Toronto are also included.
