Walking in Waterloo Region

[Canard]

Are you saying every citizen of the city should be expected to have the means to purchase such footwear, or the foreknowledge to realize their necessity? That's asking quite a bit.

I think what they're getting at is... if it's cold outside, you put a coat on.  If you don't, it's your own damn fault you're cold.

It's a bit extreme to think you need to buy cleated football shoes to go for a stroll, but... you should be mindful and aware of your surroundings.
