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

A Bay Street Corridor condo purchased in December 2021 for $1.03 million sold at a whopping $347,000 loss this month.

The one-bedroom-plus-den unit with a parking space two blocks south of Bloor Street sat on the market for nearly three months before selling in early May for $685,000.

While he hasn’t fired them himself, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said he wants “corrupt” cops to self-identity and resign on their own.

“Let’s be clear: There is zero tolerance for corruption in the Toronto Police Service,” Demkiw told John Moore of Newstalk 1010 on Wednesday morning. “We have stood up our police anti-corruption unit, we are expanding our abilities at professional standards, our members wear this uniform with honour and distinction and it’s a privilege to wear this uniform.”

Letting Muslims run rampant for literally years may have been smart policing in Demkiw’s books but that and all the other two tiered diversity nonsense has cost the TPS its social capital.

Going forward you don’t have to worry about limiting your contact, they won’t show up for any crime incident anyway.

Are you sick of those miniature motorcycles increasingly seen on Toronto’s streets? So is mayoral candidate Brad Bradford.

“A pedal welded to a mini-motorcycle does not make it a bicycle. A senior on the sidewalk, a parent in the bike lane and a family in an apartment building deserve more than a city hall that has chosen wilful ignorance over leadership,” Bradford said in a campaign press release distributed Wednesday.

Toronto can always find a way to be crappy.

Turns out the Toronto Police are no longer taking the position that former inspector Hank Idsinga was just trying to sell his book.

The Hank Effect has kicked in once again with the Toronto Police Service Board on Friday calling for an “independent inspection” into claims of antisemitism outlined in the former cop’s memoir.

Nothing will come of this while the Chow-Islamist cabal is running the city.

A Montreal-based real-estate company has snapped up $30 million of unsold condo units in downtown Toronto, with a plan to buy $500 million worth over the next year.

Jesta Group, a family-owned global real-estate firm, recently bought a portfolio of condos in bulk at a recently completed building near Toronto Metropolitan University, said Anthony O’Brien, the firm’s senior managing director.

O’Brien said he’s not able to speak about the details or reveal the name of the building due to a confidentiality agreement. But the plan is to hold the units as rentals until the market turns around, which they predict will happen in three to five years.

Roughly 30 federal prosecutions have been affected by criminal charges against Toronto Police Service officers allegedly tied to a sweeping police corruption probe, according to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

The PPSC confirmed the number of affected cases after The Globe and Mail obtained internal e-mails through an access to information request, which included lists of cases involving officers who were charged in connection to the Project South probe.

An unknown number of Toronto police drug squad officers will be the subjects of a conduct investigation by Ontario’s police watchdog, the Star has learned.

The investigations will commence following the end of the criminal case against Brian Sukhram, a detective constable with Toronto’s drug squad who is accused of stealing evidence from an investigation and attempting to obstruct justice.

Sukhram was first arrested in 2024 for impaired driving, a charge he pleaded guilty to earlier this year. Court heard that prior to his arrest, Sukhram had been drinking alcohol inside the Toronto police drug squad office after executing a search warrant.

When Hank Idsinga, the former head of the Toronto police’s homicide unit, was approached to write a book recounting “war stories” from his decades of service, he said he had another idea.

Idsinga had just retired in 2023 after 34 years with Toronto police and for five of those years, he served as the unit commander for the homicide squad.

Social media posts appear to show Toronto’s police and fire chiefs arm in arm in a private box before Game 1 of the 2025 World Series – despite the fact their representatives have yet to confirm which recent high-profile dates the men worked at the Rogers Centre.

Funny but I never saw the Chief working paid duty at a construction site.

Can you be just a little bit corrupt?

After the Progressive Conservative government announced plans this week to grant new powers to public-transit special constables so that they can arrest drug users, there was nary a word of protest from the opposition parties at Queen’s Park.

This was significant. It’s not as though Doug Ford’s counterparts are in a particularly conciliatory mood.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is engaging in a bit of creative communications with his announcement that special constables will soon be able to arrest those using illicit drugs on public transit.

The reality is that special constables, who patrol transit systems including the TTC in Toronto and OC Transpo in Ottawa, are already authorized to perform arrests for Criminal Code violations based on the way their roles are defined by their specific employers (in Ottawa, for example, as peace officers appointed by the Ottawa Police Services Board). What the Ford government is proposing is to allow these special constables new, simplified provincial authority to make arrests and lay charges via an amendment to the Restructuring Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act, which was passed last year. It’s just complicated enough to distract everyone from Mr. Ford’s private-jet purchase.

I don’t see anything getting better.

When Premier Bob Rae asked me to chair the Task Force on the Future of the Greater Toronto Area in 1995, I accepted enthusiastically. The Task Force was created to respond to growing concerns about the health and workability of the city-region.

It was becoming apparent that the secure and satisfying quality of life that people in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) had been enjoying for the decades following the Second World War was under threat. The region’s lagging economic recovery from the post-1989 recession had revealed its vulnerability in the changing global economy. Torontonians were feeling that the systems they had relied on — from municipal finance to governance to public transit — were breaking down and no longer able to meet their needs.

Here we are 30 years after that, and concerns about Toronto’s viability are back.

No one wants to discuss white flight & the fact that diversity leads to a low trust society.

Olivia Chow and her allies at Progress Toronto clearly see Brad Bradford as a threat. On Monday, Chow went into Bradford’s ward to hold a news conference and claim that he doesn’t care about tenants living with bad landlords.

She scares me.

The Ford government is introducing legislation cracking down on drug use on public transit while also targeting illegal drug production.

Under the new law, special transit constables employed by Metrolinx, the TTC and OC Transpo in Ottawa would have the same powers as police officers to make arrests if anyone uses illegal substances in transit areas.
