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

Rachel Carr started losing hope after she hit the five-hour mark on hold with Toronto police’s non-emergency line, but couldn’t bring herself to hang up since she’d already waited for so long.

“I still had a glimmer of hope that maybe they would eventually pick up, but unfortunately it didn’t happen,” she said.

Instead, right as the call entered the 12th hour, Carr was disconnected, meaning she didn’t get to report that her and her husband’s vehicles had been badly keyed outside their home, resulting in what she estimates is around $8,000 in damage.

How entitled! It’s Pride Month and the TPS has it’s priorities.

John Tory is weighing a political comeback, and insiders expect him to decide by the end of this summer whether he will run for mayor of Toronto again in 2026, according to multiple sources.

Next year’s Oct. 26 municipal election is more than 16 months away but, behind the scenes, potential candidates and their backers are already having discussions about how the race is shaping up.

The Bimbo Eruption is his unfortunate family’s burden the Sweetheart World Cup Scam is what concerns me most.

Olivia Chow needs to be replaced as mayor of Toronto, but John Tory is not the solution the city needs. The former mayor hasn’t ruled out running again; he has a team at the ready to run his campaign — and plenty of backers.

What the people of Toronto need to realize is that John Tory is the root of many of the problems facing Toronto, and that won’t change if he gets a fourth term.

I would never vote for Tory based on the World Cup deal negotiated in secret that leaves the tax payer on the hook for any losses.

WARMINGTON: Mayor Chow says her ‘don’t shop at Home Depot’ quote wasn’t a boycott call

Liar, liar, pants on fire?

Or was there nuance to what Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said and didn’t say about shopping or not shopping at Home Depot?

Is Toronto heading for an ultimate mayor showdown in 2026 between Mayor Olivia Chow and former mayor John Tory? A contest between the two would be unlike any election we’ve seen in Toronto’s post-amalgamation history.

You may balk at that, since we’ve literally seen a contest between these two before. In 2014, Chow entered the mayoral race as the front-runner, and Tory was the eventual winner, while Doug Ford — now the premier who lords his power over all mayors — stood between them.

Toronto’s air quality is ranked among the worst in the world today as smoke from wildfires drifts into the region.

The wildfire smoke has prompted Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement for the GTA, much of southern Ontario, as well as five other provinces and one territory.

Environment Canada’s David Phillips said as wildfires ramp up across the country, air quality is deteriorating. He noted that since the beginning of the month, there are 15 new out-of-control wildfires burning in northern Ontario and Western Canada.

Who can defeat Olivia Chow?

That’s one of the most common questions in local political circles these days.

Toronto police say they’ve arrested 10 people and laid more than 200 charges in connection with several violent incidents across the GTA, including a mass shooting at a Scarborough pub.

Police say that they began an investigation on March 7 following a shooting at Piper Arms Pub, where three suspects allegedly opened fire with an assault-style rifle and two handguns

On March 7th, three suspects entered a pub and started shooting indiscriminately. After a thorough investigation, ten suspects have now been arrested in connection with a series of violent incidents that occurred in the spring, including the March 7th mass shooting.
