This is funny. I also ask the same question on a regular weekday. How did you think this was gonna go? But on parade day, you do truly have to live in a bubble to be a GTA resident and not know there would be a massive parade to shut things down. And you know what, ignorance is a bliss and I sometimes wish I wasn't so aware of things myself. But on this occasion, you want to be aware or use google maps.
Five years ago I was driving from Madison, WI to Lansing, MI and I had regular GPS and I got caught in a shit storm of traffic heading into Chicago on a Saturday at 5pm. When I got to the toll guy, he said this is every weekend.
Of course, now I have a smartphone that is capable of US data package for cheap and I can use google maps and it would have made me take a detour. I lost at least 30-45 minutes.
