Move over, all-gender washrooms, the city of Toronto could be soon using taxpayer money to help pay for municipal employees to receive gender-affirming care.
And potentially pay for breast or penile prosthetics, special underwear, wigs and other transgender aids not covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance plan).
WARMINGTON: This rider offered a whole new look into what is often referred to as a subway line
When they talk about TTC riders being excited about a new subway line this is not what they meant.
It’s safe to say this was a subway line no one wants to see expanded.
The 12-year-old boy is described as a youth. But a 12-year-old is still a child.
Typically, if attending school, in Grade 7.
But this 12-year-old is charged with second-degree murder and five violent robberies. And we don’t really know how to profile them, apart from the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which deems that anyone aged 12 or older can be charged with a criminal offence.
That child is the weaponized product of the Liberal-left’s war on western civilization.
A 20-year-old man and 12-year-old youth have been charged with second-degree murder after a man died in one of a slew of “violent” robberies, Toronto police said.
A 62-year-old man was near Bay and Queen streets after 6 a.m. on Aug. 31 when he was approached by the two suspects, police said.
The pair allegedly attacked the man with a weapon, unprovoked, and then fled the area.
So. Many. TikTok videos.
The unending barrage of grating, trendy music blares beside me. Surely this isn’t how I — or anyone — would choose to start their day.
It’s just after 7 a.m., and my bus seatmate is scrolling through TikTok on his phone. He’s swiping so quickly the music blurs into an incoherent spew. The sound fills the bus — no headphones, just raw speakers echoing through the entire ride.
Welcome to my first trip.
The 3rd World is complaining about Toronto’s 3rd world transit system.
A 17-year-old is in custody in connection with a shootout in front of a Toronto high school that left a female driver injured after she was caught in the crossfire, police say.
The incident occurred shortly before noon on Sept. 3 in the area of Keele Street and Donald Avenue.
Police allege two groups of individuals exchanged gunfire across Keele Street in front of a high school.
John Tory’s political adversaries are stepping up their attacks on the former mayor — including the affair he resigned over — as some sources close to him say he’s now likely to run against incumbent Olivia Chow next year, and has held talks with key political insiders about a potential campaign.
The Star reported in June that Tory — who abruptly stepped down as mayor in February 2023 after the paper revealed he had a relationship with a staffer almost 40 years his junior — was considering running in the October 2026 mayoral election.
Toronto is such a mess even Tory looks good and I mean that in the very worst way.
The project was first awarded in 2015 and was scheduled to open in 2020, but has been plagued by problems
A major transit project in Toronto has been delayed yet again, though officials are hopeful to get it operational by the end of the year.
There are “performance and reliability” issues with trains on the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit system as they are pushed through their paces, said Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay.
A new opinion poll suggests Mayor Olivia Chow would be the leading contender if she was seeking re-election now — but former mayor John Tory would be a real threat if he was attempting a political comeback.
Forum Research surveyed 1,000 adults across Toronto on Wednesday and Thursday, asking about their support for four potential candidates well ahead of the October 2026 mayoral race that already has local politicos planning and gauging support.
A new report is sounding the alarm on unaffordable rent in Toronto, pointing out that despite a softening of prices in the rental market, one- and two-bedroom apartments remain out of reach for many workers.
The report, Making Rent: The CCPA’s rental wage update 2024, was released Thursday by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. It looks at the “rental wage”—the hourly wage needed to afford rent while working a standard 40-hour week and spending 30 per cent of income on housing—for one- and two-bedroom units in 62 Canadian cities.
It found that Toronto and Vancouver top the list when it comes to unaffordable rental housing.
Someone working full time would need to make almost $38 an hour in order to afford a one-bedroom apartment in those cities. That works out to an annual salary of around $78,000.
Toronto police are running a patrol blitz to combat the meteoric rise of “despicable” distraction thefts targeting seniors across the city.
There have been 374 distraction thefts across Toronto so far this year, an explosive growth from 2024 which saw just 28 incidents throughout the entire year, Chief Supt. Mandeep Mann said while speaking at a press conference Wednesday morning.
The thefts involve someone diverting a victim’s attention before swiping something valuable like jewelry, wallets, or phones. The perpetrators target 60- to 90-year-olds during daylight hours on weekdays, Mann warned.
An “African Ancestral Acknowledgement” in city staff email signatures? They are now included as part of the opening statement before meetings at City Hall and one plays on a loop at Yonge-Dundas Square, the place city officials want us to call Sankofa Square.
Daniel Tate of Integrity TO, a City Hall watchdog group recently raised the alarm about the email practice.
This is just the latest effort by City Hall to express it’s contempt for White Canadians.
The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto is shifting gears and moving its tracks to Markham next year.
Wednesday’s announcement marks a major detour for the annual open-wheel auto race, colloquially known as the Honda Indy, which has been taking place on a street course through Toronto’s Exhibition Place in some form since 1986.
… Asked why the event is being moved north of Toronto, Jeff Atkinson, president of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, said the city’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup hosting duties was a factor.
FIFA alone doesn’t account for this and the other factors provided seem the polite way out. Chow certainly doesn’t seem upset.
TORONTO – Greater Toronto commuters are likely bracing for traffic and transit congestion to worsen over the coming months as a number of major employers get ready to increase in-office days.
Even before return-to-office mandates take effect, experts say vehicle traffic in the city is at a tipping point, while delays, construction and public safety concerns plague the public transit system.
“I think people should be very concerned, both policy-makers and commuters themselves, about the impact that a back-to-work mandate is going to have on the commute,” said Jennifer Keesmaat, a former chief planner for the City of Toronto.
“We were already hitting a tipping point because transit ridership has decreased and so many people are getting in their cars.”
The Etobicoke red brick detached home was on the market for 40 days this summer.
After multiple price adjustments, the three-bedroom, two-bath finally went for $1.545 million, over half-a-million less than when it was last sold, near the height of the Toronto real-estate market in spring 2002.
The reaction? “Excellent.”
