Two vintage TTC streetcars went out for a spin on Canada Day (PHOTOS)
It seems like the whole city came out to celebrate Canada 150 in Toronto last weekend. Even a few retired TTC streetcars made an appearance.

For those that missed it (chances are you had your back turned while you stood in awe of a giant rubber duck), here are a few photos of the old cars in operation.
