Toronto councillors approve city-run grocery store pilot project

Toronto City Hall is so good at filling potholes, they’re now planning to put a chicken in every pot.

City council approved a pilot project late Thursday, proposed by Councillor Anthony Perruzza, that calls for four city-run grocery stores. His hope is that if the stores “forgo” profits and get a break on property taxes, Torontonians can buy good food for less.

More Toronto officers with semi-automatic rifles to be deployed at places of worship, tourist hubs

TPS Hamas Coffee Service

Toronto residents will soon see more police officers in tactical gear with patrol rifles and other long guns around places of worship, tourist hubs and community centres.

On Tuesday, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) announced the launch of “Task Force Guardian,” which it said was aimed at deterring potential acts of violence.

“We know that visible police presence matters when it comes to deterring violence and reassuring our communities,” TPS Chief Myron Demkiw said at a news conference, where he announced the task force as well as his service’s standalone counterterrorism security unit.

WARMINGTON: Crack and fentanyl smokers are in charge on TTC buses, streetcars or subway

If some of the crack being smoked by the person sitting next you on the subway gets on your skin or into your mouth, nose, lungs, eyes or brain, it could be a catastrophic heath risk.

Crack cocaine and crystal meth are dangerous enough but if fentanyl is mixed in with this concoction being consumed on the TTC, and is blown out for others to inhale against their will, it can kill a person or their kids riding with them.

Toronto considers micro-shelter communities to tackle homelessness

Micro-shelter communities are being floated as one way to provide emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto.

However, some challenges have emerged, as 44 city-owned properties identified for potential sites have all been deemed unsuitable.

Nonetheless, the City of Toronto is moving forward with a two-year pilot, with the caveat that interested non-profits must come up with private land options.

Toronto: As World Cup nears, Chow moves to block U.S. ICE presence

CCP asset Chow apprehended

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is asking city council to oppose any role for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Toronto during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, arguing the agency’s presence could “create fear” among visitors.

A motion, seconded by Coun. Paul Ainslie, will go before council next week and calls on the city to reject ICE involvement, direct staff to avoid supporting the agency, and urge both federal and provincial officials to oppose any deployment in Toronto.

Toronto councillor proposes banning flying foreign flags at City Hall

A Toronto city councillor wants to “eliminate” flying the flags of other countries at City Hall.

In a motion dubbed “One Country, One Flag; Celebrating the Canadian Flag,” Don Valley East Coun. Jon Burnside also proposed banning the flying of flags requested by non-profit or charitable organizations at Toronto City Hall and other civic institutions “effective immediately.”

“The world’s a complicated place. History is complicated, and City Hall is not the place to debate that,” he told Newstalk 1010’s Moore in the Morning on Friday.


This makes way too much sense to ever be enacted.

The fun and games of World Cup soccer and city spending

Once the fun and games of World Cup Soccer are over in Toronto, look for numbers as people who brought the games to the city try to justify the unbelievable expense and social upheaval.

The latest mind-boggling move is reported by Toronto Life: “Last month, the city declared that vast swaths of Toronto would be off-limits to road work from May 1 to July 31 to keep streets clear, what with the deluge of soccer fans expected to descend on the city. These restricted zones would cover everything south of Bloor Street to the lake between Sherbourne and Landsdowne as well as Parkside Drive, Roncesvalles Avenue, and long stretches of Dufferin, Bathurst, Avenue, Broadview and Yonge north of Bloor.”

They’ve been terrorized by home invasions. Now these Toronto residents are considering ‘virtual gated communities’

Julia Nuttall will never forget the terror and helplessness of huddling in a closet with her three children in their Lawrence Park home in early December.

It was 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when the family heard banging. Downstairs, intruders had smashed the glass of her front door. She gathered her children and called 911 as her husband went to confront the burglars, screaming at them down the stairs.

Our elites have turned Canada into a shithole.

Aviva Klompas: Olivia Chow has herself to blame for antisemitic violence

Last week, gunfire struck three synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. We have grown accustomed to the response: hollow expressions of sympathy, feeble condemnations and the familiar promise that the city stands with the Jewish community.

But what is unfolding in Toronto is not an abstract rise in hateful rhetoric. It is the steady normalization of violence against Jews, and the city’s leadership appears determined to ignore the reality that we are at risk of a mass-casualty attack targeting the Jewish community.

The rot runs deep. Chow is just one public symptom.

City hall lawyers up in arms over sale of Yonge-Dundas Square T-shirt

The City of Toronto’s lawyers say Daniel Tate can’t treasure their trash.

Last year, Tate started selling T-shirts bearing the old Yonge-Dundas Square logo on his IntegrityTO website, which he uses to advocate for his accountability-first brand of politics. In addition to hosting petitions and political news clippings, Tate, a regular public speaker at Toronto City Hall committee meetings, sells a small collection of merchandise.

WARMINGTON: Jewish community reeling as two more synagogues shot up in Toronto and York Region

The Greater Toronto Area has been shaken to its core after gunshots were fired into two more synagogues.

Toronto Police and neighbouring York Regional Police were sharing information Saturday morning following two disturbing early morning Jewish synagogue shooting incidents in those jurisdictions.


The GTA shaken to its core because a couple of synagogues were shot up? No not really.

This is normal nowadays and barely cause for a raised eyebrow.

It is the inevitable result of an immigration policy every bit as criminal as the perps who shot up the synagogues.

It is time that those responsible for Canada’s nation destroying immigration policy are treated as the criminals they are.

Make no mistake: the importation of incompatible cultures is being done deliberately to undermine our society.
