“Toronto – Canada’s version of a Democrat run city”

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says the city is facing a nearly $40 million shortfall in money needed to host six FIFA World Cup matches next year, after a new report revealed that a substantial amount of funding pledged by the province will be used up for various services.

Chow said the city did not anticipate service costs — including “beautification” of transit stations and security — to absorb nearly one-third of the $97 million contribution pledged by the Ontario government.

“The city cannot afford to pay more than what it can pay now. We can’t go and find any more cash, we just don’t have it,” Chow told reporters at a news conference ahead of the city council meeting Wednesday.

What a scam.

Yet another renaming will take place in Toronto, supposedly to protect the safety and feelings of minorities.

Did anyone ask the minorities if that is what they want?

The latest is the plan to rename Dundas TTC station, which follows the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square to the slave nation-inspired word Sankofa. Get the cruel — and one would think counter-productive — irony?

There is no better indication of a government’s true priorities than its budget and how it spends its money. Secondary to that are the issues it chooses to spend its time on.

This is why the agenda for the Toronto city council board for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is so concerning.

These useless parasites need to be removed from office.

A Quebec man previously charged with the theft of police equipment from a motor vehicle is now facing nearly 150 charges in connection with a rash of violent and property-related crimes across the GTA, including multiple stabbings.

Police took the suspect into custody on Friday and charged him with three offences in the theft of police equipment from a parked motor vehicle near Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue on April 30.

However, police say that investigators were subsequently able to link the same suspect to a series of thefts from motor vehicles across the GTA that was the subject of an ongoing investigation being led by the 51 Division Major Crime Unit.

Canada now leads the world in remote work among college-educated professionals, with nearly two full workdays per week spent at home, according to the latest Global Survey of Working Arrangements. That’s more than the United Kingdom, the United States, India, or Nigeria.

City councillors spent thousands on podcasts, parties and popcorn – and Toronto taxpayers got the bill.

Councillors’ office expenses for 2024 were recently released, and some of the spending ranges from seemingly wasteful to weird.

Toronto’s 25 councillors each had a budget of $58,411.87, and some spent almost all of that. Lily Cheng, the biggest spender, came in at $58,404.53, barely beating out Chris Moise’s $58,383.99.

The trouble with Toronto’s proposed ‘bubble zone’ bylaw

Recently, we’ve seen alarming examples of rights being rolled back south of the border. These include attempts to silence those whose political views differ from the government’s — and they should serve as a cautionary tale for Canada. Indeed, now is the time for everyone in this country to protect our fundamental freedoms and resist the erosion of our democratic rights.

With that in mind, we should all be concerned that Toronto city council will next month consider adopting a new “bubble zone” bylaw. This bylaw, yet to be drafted, would limit where people are allowed to hold peaceful public demonstrations such as picket lines, vigils, protests and rallies that some may find offensive. In so doing, it would directly infringe on our freedoms of expression and of peaceful assembly, two cornerstones of Canadian democracy.

The same people arguing against Bubble Zones for Islamist protests likely support Bubble Zone protest bylaws outside abortion clinics.

From Grok – Several provinces in Canada have enacted “bubble zone” laws, also known as safe access zones, to limit demonstrations outside abortion clinics and other facilities providing abortion services. These laws create areas around clinics, hospitals, or providers’ offices where certain activities, such as protesting, picketing, or attempting to dissuade individuals from accessing abortion services, are prohibited. Based on available information, the following provinces have such laws as of April 19, 2025…
