If there’s one thing you can count on the people of Toronto doing, it’s finding the humour in every little thing.
And a quirky new plaque in the middle of the city is no exception.
That’s right, there’s a hilarious plaque making the rounds online for its redundant nature.
One Twitter user named @anniierau even said she walked almost an hour through hailing rain just to read it in person.
“I walked forty minutes through hailing rain to see this plaque in Toronto and it was so extremely worth it,” she tweeted Monday.
So what does the plaque say? Read it for yourself:
“This plaque was commemorated on October 10, 2018, to commemorate its own commemoration. Plaques like this one are an integral part of the campaign to support more plaques like this one. By reading this plaque, you have made a valuable addition to the number of people who have read this plaque. To this day and up to the end of this sentence, this plaque continues to be read by people like yourself.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, the tweet was viewed by over 800,000 people and received positive feedback and even praise.
“We should bring this to the Department of Redundancy Department,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Neat, I’ll be visiting Toronto for the first time soon, so I’m looking forward to looking at this,” another said.
Many users joked that they thought they were having a stroke while reading the plaque or said they would have walked twice as far to see it up close.
You can find the plaque at 384 Montrose Avenue, at Harbord St.
Now Toronto reached out to Toronto Heritage for comment and did not get a response in time for publishing.
