City
Throwing Pizza at Garbage Cans, and More
Toronto television broadcaster CityTV has been busy uploading clips to YouTube, and their "On the Spot" series of short investigative reporting videos are pretty good. They hire actors to do illegal, rude, or obnoxious things in public and guage Torontonians responses, which for the most part are limited to minding their own buisness.
Littering:
Do you call out people on littering when you see it happen, or do you notice but carry on?
Other videos in the series include:
Part 1: Shoplifting in Kensington market
Part 2: Littering (seen above)
Part 3: Sneezing on people and cell phone use in public
Part 4: ...coming soon.

There is a real lack of community bonds on our streets now and our streets are getting less and less safe as a result.
For a street to be safe everyone - including strangers that are just passing through - must feel like if they step up to protect the street or someone else that the rest of the street will stand behind them.
Once I was on the bus and this drunk guy frat boy was tossing racial slurs at everyone around him. At first I was silent, not wanting to get involved but then I asked myself what the real threat was. As soon as I spoke, I had everyone elses backing, and someone asked the driver to stop and let the fool off.
Granted, not every situation will end well like this did.
