Oh, rats! Toronto has taken the top step of a cross-country podium — but it may not be the trophy it would want.
The city once again took the No. 1 spot nationwide for being the “rattiest” city in Canada, according to a new ranking from pest control company Orkin Canada.
The ranking highlighted the top 25 rat-full cities in the country. Rounding out the podium were Victoria, B.C. in second place and Vancouver in third.
I still remember the good old days when the taxpayers were in charge, and all Torontonians could rely on the consistent delivery of core services.
Back then, people were confident that their local government was working for them. As Torontonians grapple with the thought of another property tax hike, they have simply lost faith in how it will benefit them.
Count this as a victory for Canadian patriot Scott Youmans and his Canadian flag displayed at Toronto City Hall.
Some credit also has to go to Mayor Olivia Chow and the City of Toronto as well for recognizing the incident, in which security and staff approached Youmans in Nathan Phillips Square on Nov. 28 to articulate that there was a bylaw infraction for him having his maple leaf Canadian flag, was not in keeping with what the rules actually are.
An Ontario police watchdog has dismissed an appeal by senior Toronto police officer Stacy Clarke to overturn her two-year demotion for helping several junior officers cheat to get promoted.
Clarke, the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history, pleaded guilty to seven counts of professional misconduct after admitting she shared confidential interview information with six Black junior officers in 2021 to give them an edge in the highly competitive process to become sergeants.
The question of how to deal with an incoming wave of advanced robots might seem like a sci-fi hypothetical from a far-flung future, but, for Toronto city hall, the future isn’t so far away.
Last month saw a notable debut on the city’s lobbyist registry: Waymo, operator of fleets of autonomous taxis in several cities in the United States. The Silicon Valley company is owned by
Alphabet, making it a corporate sibling to tech giant Google. They’re one of the premier players in the burgeoning self-driving car market, offering a real service where people ride in taxis with no human driver present.
And now it appears they are looking at driving their driverless cars north of the border.
So some bad actor in theory could order dozens of Waymo vehicles to wherever the mohammedans are desecrating public space with their cult rituals.
It’s feels like there’s a war on Canada and its traditions in Mayor Olivia Chow’s Toronto where the casualty is our basic freedom.
There is no other conclusion when you have a man harassed for displaying a Canadian flag, or playing the national anthem, while there is zero action from authorities on people presenting propaganda against Israel.
You know where Chow and her Muslim handlers can shove that glittering tree…
Chow has got to go…
The City of Toronto is rolling out a revised and expansive land acknowledgement that includes terms like “extractive violences” and “land reparations.” This revised acknowledgement will be part of the City of Toronto’s mandatory equity training for public employees.

A Toronto comedian just threw a quinceañera for the Eglinton Crosstown.
It has been – can you believe it? – 15 years since the birth of the light-rail transit line that will traverse the centre of the city. Authorities still won’t say for sure when it will open, though there is talk it could happen next month.
The rolling homeless camp is expanding to meet demand.
A company that has been awarded almost $200 million worth of contracts from the city of Toronto in the past five years has been temporarily suspended from bidding on further work while the municipality investigates it over an alleged breach of procurement rules.
Capital Infrastructure Group Inc., a Woodbridge-based civil construction firm, as well as five of its affiliated companies, were quietly suspended on Oct. 17, according to the Toronto’s public listing of disqualified suppliers. Another affiliate, Capital Sewers Services, has been suspended since June 30.
The City of Toronto’s shelter system is still guided by radical policies that encourage the city to hire active drug addicts to staff their programs, push for drugs and drug kits to be provided in abstinence-based facilities and even require that all shelters with children residing in them provide drug services.
A reasonable person would think that these sorts of wrongheaded policies, to the degree that they existed at all, would have been phased out by now. After all, the provincial Ford government has wisely moved to close public sector drug injection sites close to schools and daycares and is pivoting towards programs that push for treatment over maintaining addictions.
And, of course, the very best and indeed only way for Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow to save the world is to stand firmly with the Palestinians against that colonial-settler, apartheid, genocidal state of Israel that really should do the decent thing, for once, and disappear, making room for a twenty-third Arab state…
The Instagram video is a highlight reel of troubling scenes from Toronto’s streets: burned-out garbage cans, discarded needles, a man sleeping on public transit. In a blurred-out but still disturbing image, a woman, apparently homeless, stands naked on the edge of a public square.
Superimposed over it all is a graphic of Mayor Olivia Chow, dancing to the tune of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen.”
The Oct. 12 post is a salvo from IntegrityTO, an online advocacy group whose leader, Daniel Tate, says he’s out to expose the realities of Toronto — or as he calls it, “Chowtown”— a city he says is being plunged into decline while its progressive mayor and her allies ignore its problems.
I claim the origin of “Chowtown”! The Chow regime is toxic but the Star loves toxic.
The new sign at Dundas Subway Station, the one that had to go up to remove the Dundas name over false slavery allegations, still has the word Dundas on it.
The new signs read TMU in large letters with Dundas Street written below in slightly smaller but still prominent letters.
If Scott Youmans had been hitting a rock of crack cocaine or mainlining fentanyl or heroin, not only would Toronto City Hall security guards have allowed it, but someone would ensure he had a clean pipe or needle to do it.
But they wouldn’t let him play O Canada over his portable sound system Monday in Nathan Phillips Square.
Toronto elected an idiot for Mayor whose handlers hate Canada and hate White people. Everything they do is a calculated insult. It’s hard wired into their ideological DNA.
Toronto City Hall raises Palestinian flag, joining other cities across Canada
TORONTO – The mood was celebratory on the rooftop of Toronto City Hall on Monday morning, as dozens gathered in the brisk weather to watch the Palestinian flag fly over the building for the first time.
Historic moment as Palestinian flag is raised at Toronto City Hall for the first time.

Stupid and disgusting.
The renaming of Dundas station could come at a $400,000 cost to City Hall – if not more – and has generated friction at the TTC, the Toronto Sun has learned.
That renaming was decided upon at a May meeting of the TTC board. What’s now Dundas will become TMU station as part of a sweeping partnership with nearby Toronto Metropolitan University.
