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

Concerned citizens from across Toronto are suing city hall and three of its leaders, alleging they broke the law and acted in bad faith in choosing where homeless shelters will go.

Safe Neighbourhoods Toronto, a non-profit incorporated last month, is seeking an injunction against the City of Toronto to stop it from setting up shelters that don’t “comply with the criteria approved by city council.” It also seeks $1 million from Mayor Olivia Chow, Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik and Gord Tanner, the city’s head of shelter services.

What’s the ballot box issue for the Toronto mayoral election? It’s not yet clear. With only six weeks to go, there is no defining matter that has seized the minds of the electorate and driven the debate between candidates.

Now there doesn’t necessarily have to be such a topic. Not every election is a referendum on a divisive matter. But there are examples of previous Toronto mayoral elections that have been strongly defined by a single issue.

Olivia Chow stood on the stage at the mayoral debate hosted by the Daily Bread Food Bank and said that Toronto is living up to its full potential. One statistic from Daily Bread’s annual report shows just how wrong Mayor Chow is.

Since Olivia Chow came to office in 2023, visits to food banks across the city are up 47% and came in at 3,760,888 client visits.

What a flaming pile of garbage!

Daniel Tate, a candidate for Toronto City Council in Ward 13, said on Friday that he was “infuriated” to see a pile of TTC trash bags ablaze at Sankofa Square in a social media video, shot by the TMU station entrance Thursday night.

For political observers, the Toronto mayoral election has been going on for months. But for the general public, the race gets underway this week.

Voters will cast their ballots in a little over six weeks, deciding whether to give incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow another term or opt for one of the main challengers: Councillor Brad Bradford or former federal minister Chris Alexander, a last-minute addition to the race.

In what officials call a worrisome trend, Toronto Fire says it has responded to 97 lithium-ion battery fires since January — easily surpassing the total from last year.

A spokesperson for the service says 71 such fires were recorded in 2025 and 76 the year before.

The latest numbers represent a more than threefold increase since 2022, when firefighters responded to 29 lithium-ion battery fires in the city.

A new poll from analysts at Liaison Strategies has incumbent Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow with a double-digit lead over her main opponent Brad Bradford in the city’s upcoming mayoral election.

The poll, which was released Wednesday morning, finds Olivia Chow leading the race with 50 per cent of support among decided and leaning voters compared to Brad Bradford with 39 per cent, and Chris Alexander in a distant third place with 10 per cent.

Analysts say Chow also holds a 51 per cent approval rating when it comes to her performance as mayor, while 45 per cent disapprove.

Kinsella is advising the Bradford campaign. That would explain the dumpster fire Bradford’s run for Mayor has become.

I won’t be voting for him for a number of reasons. He’s just another identity politics con.

A national poll released last week by Liaison Strategies on the public’s perception of their safety in 15 Canadian cities revealed that crime statistics are not the only thing that forms our perceptions about whether a city is safe.

Toronto is no longer recognizable as a Canadian city.

Mass immigration = a ghettoized low trust society.

Toronto is seen by Canadians as one of the country’s most dangerous cities, with many viewing it as less safe than it actually is, a new poll finds.

A national public safety perception study conducted by Liaison Strategies found that 57 percent of Canadians consider Toronto to be “somewhat” or “very” unsafe. Just 39 percent said they consider the Ontario capital to be safe.

The province is moving ahead with dismantling bike lanes on some of Toronto’s busiest streets, and will start the process of restoring lanes for motor vehicles.

This is good news. Sadly it’s about the only good news Toronto has had in a long while.

Toronto police say they have issued more than 1,200 tickets for vehicles parked in bike lanes and more than 300 tickets to micro-mobility device riders in a two-week educational blitz.

In a press release Monday, Toronto police announced the results of a two-week city campaign focusing on education for riders of e-scooters, e-bikes and other micro-mobility devices.

The campaign ran from Aug. 10 to Aug. 24

An urban curse.

We don’t officially have political parties in Toronto municipal politics, but voters should know that organized political factions exist. One of the most influential is Progress Toronto, the activist group backing Olivia Chow and a slate of candidates pushing policies that would make this city worse.
