Micro-shelter communities are being floated as one way to provide emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto.
However, some challenges have emerged, as 44 city-owned properties identified for potential sites have all been deemed unsuitable.
Nonetheless, the City of Toronto is moving forward with a two-year pilot, with the caveat that interested non-profits must come up with private land options.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is asking city council to oppose any role for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Toronto during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, arguing the agency’s presence could “create fear” among visitors.
A motion, seconded by Coun. Paul Ainslie, will go before council next week and calls on the city to reject ICE involvement, direct staff to avoid supporting the agency, and urge both federal and provincial officials to oppose any deployment in Toronto.
A Toronto city councillor wants to “eliminate” flying the flags of other countries at City Hall.
In a motion dubbed “One Country, One Flag; Celebrating the Canadian Flag,” Don Valley East Coun. Jon Burnside also proposed banning the flying of flags requested by non-profit or charitable organizations at Toronto City Hall and other civic institutions “effective immediately.”
“The world’s a complicated place. History is complicated, and City Hall is not the place to debate that,” he told Newstalk 1010’s Moore in the Morning on Friday.
This makes way too much sense to ever be enacted.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
An alleged drug trafficker accused of obtaining confidential information from Toronto police that was used to facilitate crimes has been granted bail.
Brian Da Costa is alleged to be a central figure in the criminal conspiracy dismantled by Project South, a months-long investigation by York police that also resulted in the arrests of seven Toronto officers and one retired constable.
John Tory said he has made the difficult decision to not run for his old job as Toronto mayor in the fall municipal election.
Tory, who was mayor of the city from 2014 until he resigned in February 2023 after admitting to having an affair with a staffer, had considered putting his name in the hat.
