Zanta - A sad tale

Most Torontoians have had some encounter with Zanta or witnessed his antics during the CityTV morning show. A number of years ago I found a documentary on Zanta....a very sad story.


If you don't know Zanta he travels the streets of downtown Toronto doing pushups and shouting "yes yes yes" and "Merry Christmas". His attire consists of nothing but shorts, boots, and a red-and-white Santa hat, even during Toronto's harsh winters. He estimates he does 2,000 to 3,000 pushups per day. He has been banned from several public areas around Toronto, including the Toronto Transit Commission and from the CityTV building.
