The fun and games of World Cup soccer and city spending

Once the fun and games of World Cup Soccer are over in Toronto, look for numbers as people who brought the games to the city try to justify the unbelievable expense and social upheaval.

The latest mind-boggling move is reported by Toronto Life: “Last month, the city declared that vast swaths of Toronto would be off-limits to road work from May 1 to July 31 to keep streets clear, what with the deluge of soccer fans expected to descend on the city. These restricted zones would cover everything south of Bloor Street to the lake between Sherbourne and Landsdowne as well as Parkside Drive, Roncesvalles Avenue, and long stretches of Dufferin, Bathurst, Avenue, Broadview and Yonge north of Bloor.”

They’ve been terrorized by home invasions. Now these Toronto residents are considering ‘virtual gated communities’

Julia Nuttall will never forget the terror and helplessness of huddling in a closet with her three children in their Lawrence Park home in early December.

It was 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when the family heard banging. Downstairs, intruders had smashed the glass of her front door. She gathered her children and called 911 as her husband went to confront the burglars, screaming at them down the stairs.

Toronto police make two arrests on Saturday after court denies injunction to stop Al-Quds rally in Toronto

Soon to be declared a Father of Confederation.

A heavy police presence was evident during the Al-Quds rally held in downtown Toronto on Saturday.

Two arrests were made in the early going. Toronto police said in X post that they were “on the ground today to uphold the right to demonstrate lawfully while holding those who engage in criminal activity accountable.”


Our elites have turned Canada into a shithole.

Aviva Klompas: Olivia Chow has herself to blame for antisemitic violence

Last week, gunfire struck three synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. We have grown accustomed to the response: hollow expressions of sympathy, feeble condemnations and the familiar promise that the city stands with the Jewish community.

But what is unfolding in Toronto is not an abstract rise in hateful rhetoric. It is the steady normalization of violence against Jews, and the city’s leadership appears determined to ignore the reality that we are at risk of a mass-casualty attack targeting the Jewish community.

The rot runs deep. Chow is just one public symptom.

City hall lawyers up in arms over sale of Yonge-Dundas Square T-shirt

The City of Toronto’s lawyers say Daniel Tate can’t treasure their trash.

Last year, Tate started selling T-shirts bearing the old Yonge-Dundas Square logo on his IntegrityTO website, which he uses to advocate for his accountability-first brand of politics. In addition to hosting petitions and political news clippings, Tate, a regular public speaker at Toronto City Hall committee meetings, sells a small collection of merchandise.

WARMINGTON: Jewish community reeling as two more synagogues shot up in Toronto and York Region

The Greater Toronto Area has been shaken to its core after gunshots were fired into two more synagogues.

Toronto Police and neighbouring York Regional Police were sharing information Saturday morning following two disturbing early morning Jewish synagogue shooting incidents in those jurisdictions.


The GTA shaken to its core because a couple of synagogues were shot up? No not really.

This is normal nowadays and barely cause for a raised eyebrow.

It is the inevitable result of an immigration policy every bit as criminal as the perps who shot up the synagogues.

It is time that those responsible for Canada’s nation destroying immigration policy are treated as the criminals they are.

Make no mistake: the importation of incompatible cultures is being done deliberately to undermine our society.

With John Tory Out, Bradford is statistically tied with Chow in Toronto Mayoral Election

For the better part of a year, Toronto politics has been suspended in a kind of waiting game.

Would John Tory try to come back? Would he test whether voters were willing to give him another shot? That question is now settled. He announced yesterday that is not running in October 2026.

With that uncertainty gone, the mayoral race snaps into clearer focus. What looked like a potentially crowded contest now looks increasingly like a head-to-head between Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford. And based on polling we conducted in late January as part of our Toronto Omnibus survey, I see a competitive race that Bradford can win.

Advocates call for public inquiry into alleged police corruption within Toronto Police Service

Police accountability advocates are calling on Toronto’s city council to order a public inquiry into a crisis of corruption within the city’s police service, after the arrests of seven of its officers and a retired constable.

Investigators said members of organized crime were buying data and addresses from Toronto Police Service officers, which were then used to co-ordinate shootings and other crimes – including an attempted hit on a corrections officer who was allegedly targeted at his home.

Toronto’s mayor promised to help these tenants. Months later, conditions are so bad Canada Post won’t deliver their mail

When Mayor Olivia Chow visited 500 Dawes Rd. last July, she assured tenants of the 14-storey East York residential building notorious for property standards violations that the city would take action.

The following month, the mayor took to Facebook to share her grievances, highlighting that “when landlords refuse to act over and over, the city can step in, take on the repairs directly, and charge it back to the landlord.

“It’s time to fix what’s broken,” she added.
