CANADA - DECEMBER 28: People had fun during Centennial year and the residents of Rathnelly Ave. in midtown Toronto had more fun than most one day last June. They decided to secede from Metro; in the spirit of Wiliam Lyon mackenzie; and barricaded the street. This boy was one of the army that then patrolled Rathnelly to keep out invaders; visitors had to show passports. It rained all day but dampened no one's spirits. Other projects were solemn and goofy; gay and sombre. (Photo by Graham Bezant/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
