Not a great documentary, but an interesting one, by virtue of it's subjects.
In line for a mediocre burger

I'm in line for a mediocre burger. Not a small line, a pretty big line, maybe 30 people.
This place - it's been "Opening Soon" in town for the past 4 months. Last year they had one of those food trucks, sold burgers, fries, poutine, and Stormy was all over it, telling me all about it, I had to go, best burgers ever, etc, etc. Then this year, they gave up the truck, they were popular enough I guess, and now they have a more permanent location.
So finally, after months of false starts they're finally open, 6 hours a day, 4 days a week, and I'm waiting here in line with everybody else to see what all the fuss is about.
Meh. 30 minutes in line. I go all in on the burger - triple deluxe, maybe $8.00, and the large poutine, $12.00, and - sincerely - none of it's a big deal. Like mediocre. Expensive even, for what you're getting. A&W, Even McDonalds do it - or some version of it - better and cheaper. And while I'm happy to support a lousy independent over a lousier multinational - I see no reason for this to be lousy.

Walking down a side-street, 3 younger homeless people set up in front of a garage, backpacks in front of them. 2 guys, 1 girl, although the general fashion amongst them it's hard to tell. An earnest conversation. The guys are quizzing her: "But she was breathing when you went to sleep, right?"
The other guys asking the same question and the girl is reiterating her story...
Ten seconds to walk past them and the conversation is carried to the wind, but there was a tragedy there, you know...
