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

A civic group is advocating for Toronto to adopt congestion pricing, following the route taken by cities such as New York, London, Stockholm and Singapore.

It’s a tactic aimed at reducing traffic in downtowns, with the collected congestion fees meant to go toward improving public transit and urban infrastructure.

Toronto sucks, this will make it suck more.

Forget bidding wars—distressed listings are Toronto real estate’s hottest trend. Power of Sale listings have surged more than five-fold in three years, according to data from Valery Real Estate. A record volume of distressed sellers are flooding record inventory, shredding the narrative of a quick recovery. It’s a brutal reminder that real estate corrections are measured in years, not months.

Mayor Olivia Chow defended Toronto’s speed cameras as an essential safety tool Wednesday, following news that Premier Doug Ford is planning to scrap the devices.

Speaking at an unrelated press conference one day after the Star revealed Ford is preparing legislation this fall to get rid of the cameras, Chow said automated enforcement has proven effective at getting drivers to slow down.

The city is not alright.

A year out from the next municipal election and a new poll of Toronto residents shows that there is deep dissatisfaction with how the city is functioning. From traffic to transit, the cost of living to housing affordability, Toronto residents want better.

With just over a year until the Toronto municipal election, a solid majority of residents think it’s time for a new mayor, according to a public opinion survey that could signal trouble for incumbent Olivia Chow.

The poll of Torontonians conducted by Ipsos for the Star found 58 per cent want change in the city’s highest office, and 42 per cent believe Chow is doing well enough to deserve re-election.

There’s significant anxiety among residents about the direction of the city — six in 10 of poll respondents said Toronto’s best days are behind it — “and as a result of that, people look to what they can do in order to change that situation,” said Darrell Bricker, Ipsos global CEO of public affairs. “One of the things that they can do is elect a new mayor.”

Chow is not Mayor she barely qualifies as a figurehead. The city is run by the usual left wing lunatics and their toxic allies.

“Bike lanes save lives.” That’s the slogan repeated endlessly by the cycling lobby, shouted as if it’s beyond question. But slogans don’t save lives — emergency response times do.

And according to data obtained through a Freedom of Information request by Balance on Bloor, the bike lanes on Bloor Street West are causing delays of up to two and a half minutes for ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars. In the world of emergency medicine, that delay is a death sentence.

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.
