Making new friends is the topic this morning. I am going to bring in my friend, frank ferragine, who is live in orangeville this morning. And stephanie henry live from the fifth floor. This is an article and blog that talked about 20 ways to meet new people here in toronto. And I I will put out some of these suggestions. To me a lot of this seems like do we have to have an article to actually suggest some of these things? But I guess we are in a time now where we do. We really truly do. People are on their phones and just not connecting like they used to. The site is suggesting you join a running club, for example, you can go dancing, meet other pet owners. If you have a pet. Play the latest craze, pickle ball. Tour the city's food scene, join toronto's dinner with strangers. Take an improro class, if you want. There was a recent poll outfit said that 53% of adults say they have between one and four close friends. 38% say they have five or more. I am going to start with frank. You are out and about, always making friends and chatting with people. What do you think about the fact that they need to write an ticle about where you can meett new people and have those suggestions there? To me it just seems like common sense. But maybe I just old school. I don't know.
