Took Line 1 and the TTC had the POO Patrol on board. They asked for proof of fare payment...only from brown people. Not from me or the other pink people in the car. This is Olivia Chow's city. Racism abound.

THEY MADE THAT MONEY FIXING BREAD PRICES AND EXPLOITING THE HUMAN NEED TO EAT FOOD.

Not unusual, politicians & staffers roll over to influence peddling immediately. Being elected, or a staffer, is an entry level position into the real $$. Ford chief of staff, Pat Sackville, owned a lobby shop at the same time, lobbying his govt. We don't talk about it enough.

Anyone else horrified by the number of police on in the subways system today? My observation is they are either looking at their phones or roaming in groups of 10 kicking homeless people out of the subway stations.

The treatment of #PWD’s is a national disgrace, govts are literally nickel & diming all those on disability benefits the long awaited #CDB is only $200 per month. It is beyond acceptable that we as a nation allow this. My salvation was turning 65 but some can’t wait that long

Gonna remind everyone that several major developers (incl. Fitzrovia who is behind the new towers at Bloor/Duff, and the Drimmer family that owns Canada's largest landlord Starlight) are Walk With Israel sponsors Support for market housing in Canada is support for Israel. Sorry!

If we are going to call the cost of public services a “loss,” then Canadian police forces lost $20 billion last year while delivering no birthday presents and also killing a lot of people.

Press Coverage of our Foul Play Rally toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/…

‘“Unhoused people are not being removed because they are dangerous. They are being removed because their presence conflicts with the image @FIFAWorldCup demands,” the Toronto advocates wrote. “All the money that we spend on that could actually be really successful money spent on housing and long-term solutions.” The Toronto Underhoused and Homeless Union is demanding that security guards at Union Station be replaced by harm reduction workers and that 24/7 respite centres be made available during and in the lead-up to the World Cup. The group is also calling for an end to the closures of shelters and supervised consumption sites, arguing that without places to go, more and more homeless people will seek shelter in places like Union Station.’

Sometimes I feel like none of you lived through the de Blasio era. Nearly the exact same promises of public private partnerships and rezoning were made, down to the number of units. It’s better than zero affordable housing units to be sure, but rents aren’t going down.

So excited about this new column by @aliyapabani ! Much needed in Toronto.

Everyone needs to read Melinda Cooper’s book, “Counterrevolution” to understand the role of tax credits in the neoliberal economy, and their role in the inflation of asset values (like real estate) at the expense workers via wage stagnation.

Every year we will announce a new 5-year strategic plan.

This needs to be posted from time to time. Bottom line, the more you build the more housing costs. Correlation is not causation but my god!

"The selling of a fabricated, idealized image of the city, as mobilized through empty discourses of diversity, facilitates an undemocratic politics of urban space" Farida Rady and Jacob Roberts on the World Cup in Toronto in our latest article progressivecity.net/torontos…
