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

TORONTO — As Toronto voters prepare to head to the polls in October, they will do so against the backdrop of a city grappling with persistent affordability pressures, strained public services and aging infrastructure.

While Mayor Olivia Chow can point to improvements in some areas, including reductions in homicides and increased housing approvals, many residents continue to confront a city that feels increasingly expensive, congested and difficult to navigate.

Olivia Chow decided to be honest about her intentions when it comes to her re-election campaign. After weeks, nay months, of going around the city holding campaign-style events in her role as mayor, but while using her purple campaign colouring and branding, she has announced what we already knew.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow announced she’ll be running for a second term in a news release Monday.

Her announcement comes weeks after the municipal election nomination window opened. While she was widely expected to run again for the city’s top job, neither Chow nor her team revealed their plans until Monday.

“This morning I registered to run for re-election. But that does not change what I do here as the mayor,” she said at a news conference Monday.

Hasn’t this city suffered enough?

TORONTO — Toronto politicians love to sell the city as a world-class destination ready to welcome the globe for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The ads are polished, the slogans are optimistic, and the promises are endless. But outside the carefully crafted marketing campaigns lies a city already struggling to handle its own daily pressures.

The reality is uncomfortable: Toronto is not in shape to host an event of this scale.

The media was first to tell the people of Toronto that three of its police officers had been arrested in Spain. Initially the reason for the arrests was unclear, but soon the details began trickling out: while vacationing in Barcelona last week, one of these men allegedly sexually assaulted a sex worker in a taxi while another physically assaulted her after she refused to participate in a threesome, according to Spanish media. The woman was allegedly punched in the face, which caused a cut that required stitches, and was sexually assaulted before she was rescued by plain-clothed officers in the area; the third suspect is accused of attacking an officer. One of the suspects fled the scene, but was found in Palma de Mallorca roughly 48 hours later.

While they’re both on the receiving end of the same litigation, security contractor One Community Solutions and the City of Toronto are not putting up a united front.

Both are fighting a proposed class-action lawsuit, and while they’re both disputing the allegations, in their statements of defence each is suggesting that the other would be responsible should a court find any wrongdoing took place.

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.
