‘No fun’: Toronto bans tobogganing at 45 hills across city, says councillor unhappy with move
Toronto has banned tobogganing at 45 hills across the city due to safety concerns and one councillor says he’s not happy with the move because there are more important issues that should be drawing the attention of city staff.
Coun. Brad Bradford, who represents Beaches-East York, said on Friday that residents can manage the physical risk of tobogganing. He said the ban shows that Toronto is becoming a “no fun city” that doesn’t respond to the needs of families.
Micro-tyranny. One more sign it’s time to leave this town.
Anthony Furey: Olivia Chow’s tax hike would be unnecessary and destructive
Olivia Chow had a choice. Toronto’s Mayor could have rolled up her sleeves and got to work going through the City’s budget to find savings and hold the line on excessive cost increases. Instead, she chose to grow the budget by a billion dollars and then push for one of the largest tax increases in recent city history right when regular folks are facing an affordability crisis. It’s a heartless thing to do given the state of the economy.
On Wednesday, Chow proposed a 10.5 per cent property tax increase for the coming year. This will climb to 16.5 per cent if the federal government declines to provide Chow with the refugee housing funds she’s requested.
Toronto is a stupid place. You would think after 8 years of electing Trudeau they would have learned a lesson. But no they doubled down on stupid and elected a communist who is feeding truckloads of taxpayer dollars to her vile communist pals.
I live in this imploding shithole and frankly it fully merits the contempt shown it by TROC.
Toronto ranked worst city in North America for traffic, new index finds
Toronto has topped the list of the most congested cities in North America, beating out both New York and Mexico City, according to new traffic data released by navigation and location technology company TomTom.
The company, which released its annual traffic index on Thursday, ranked Toronto third on a list of the most congested cities in the world, falling behind only London and Dublin.
Toronto budget chief warns of 16 per cent tax hike without Ottawa’s help on refugees
Torontonians could face a property tax hike as high as 16.5 per cent if the federal government doesn’t come through with the city’s demand for funding to house refugees claimants, budget chief Shelley Carroll warned Wednesday morning at a press conference.
“That is the potential crisis we face…we don’t have the funds,” said Carroll, speaking before the 2024 budget proposed by city staff was presented to council’s budget committee.
Carroll added that it was now on the federal government to respond and Toronto residents would need to speak up in the next few weeks.
Fuck them all.

‘Substantial’ property tax increase coming to Toronto, city’s budget chief warns
Toronto’s budget chief is warning that a “substantial” property tax increase will be part of the city’s new spending package, as council grapples with a long-brewing fiscal crisis.
Coun. Shelley Carroll, who was appointed budget chief by Mayor Olivia Chow last year, had a blunt message when asked if property taxes are headed up: Yes.
And not by a small amount, she said, because Toronto needs to face its structural deficit head-on.

‘The vilification of Dundas is unfounded’: Activists try to preserve Dundas name on city landmarks
A pair of Toronto activists have launched a fresh bid to convince city hall to keep Henry Dundas’s name on city landmarks, saying the long-dead Scottish politician is not a villain and should not be treated as one.
Daniel Tate and Jonny Pottins’ petition to keep the Dundas name was launched after city council approved Sankofa, an African word that alludes to making peace with the past, as the new name for Yonge-Dundas Square. It has gathered nearly 20,000 signatures.
Sankofa means shit for brains.
Toronto’s shameful renaming debacles
Not that we would ever make up the news, but this is the kind of news you could not make up. This month, Toronto City Council voted to rename Yonge-Dundas Square. This was done to rid the place of any association with the 18th Century Scottish politician Henry Dundas, due to his role in the transatlantic slave trade.
The next day, as part of the same meeting, Toronto Council voted to name a stadium after former mayor Rob Ford. Mr. Ford, who died in 2016, was not a slavery advocate, I’ll give him that, but nor was he worthy of being immortalized in bricks and mortar – or bleachers and turf.
WARMINGTON: If you want to erase the name Sankofa before it erases Dundas, there is a petition
It took leftists one city council meeting to erase 200 years of Toronto history with the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square.
It might take longer to restore it. But some are working on it.
Chairman Chow to hit Toronto with property tax increases, new fees
Toronto may have a new deal with the province for financial relief, but Mayor Olivia Chow says city residents will also need to do their part to battle the $1.5-billion shortfall — and that will mean property tax increases and new fees in 2024.
Chow made the comments to CBC Toronto in a wide-ranging year end interview.
The new mayor and Premier Doug Ford announced an agreement last month that will see the province provide billions of dollars in aid and upload the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway. But Chow says the city has to be willing to show it will make sacrifices as well to fix the city’s structural deficit.
Rahim Mohamed: Whoops! ‘Sankofa Square’ comes with a slave trade connection of its own
Toronto’s city council approved a motion last week to change the name of the city’s landmark Yonge-Dundas square to “Sankofa Square.” The renaming is part of a $700,000 taxpayer-funded initiative to scrub the name of late 18-Century Scottish politician Henry Dundas from city-owned assets, due to his minor association to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and despite the fact he was an abolitionist. Interestingly, the square’s new moniker, Sankofa, was first used by those who were active in the very same slave trade that Dundas opposed.
Michael Taube: The Ill-Advised Fight Against Henry Dundas Ends in Partial Defeat, Total Confusion
Toronto’s political left fought tooth and nail to change the name of Dundas Street and eradicate the legacy of the individual that the name honoured, Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville. This controversial battle has ended in partial defeat and a state of total confusion.
