Here’s the motion: secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda…

The targeted attack outside the Toronto Islamic Centre is deeply alarming and wholly condemnable. Hatred directed at people of faith has no place in this country, and no Canadian should ever feel threatened while exercising their fundamental right to worship freely. We stand in unequivocal solidarity with Muslim communities in Toronto and across the country. Our commitment to Canadians safety is not rhetorical — it demands concrete action. We will continue working with partners to ensure safety, accountability, and zero tolerance for hate and islamophobia in Canada. Canada’s strength is found in its diversity. Protecting that strength means speaking out, standing together, and taking real action against bigotry in all its forms. - L'attaque ciblée à l'extérieur du Centre islamique de Toronto est profondément alarmante et doit être fermement condamnée. La haine visant les personnes croyantes n'a pas sa place dans ce pays, et aucun Canadien ne devrait jamais se sentir menacé lorsqu'il exerce son droit fondamental de pratiquer librement sa religion. Nous exprimons notre solidarité sans équivoque avec les communautés musulmanes de Toronto et de tout le pays. Notre engagement envers la sécurité des Canadiens n’est pas pure rhétorique — il exige des mesures concrètes. Nous continuerons de travailler avec nos partenaires pour garantir la sécurité, la responsabilité et la tolérance zéro envers la haine et l’islamophobie au Canada. La force du Canada réside dans sa diversité. Protéger cette force signifie s’exprimer haut et fort, se serrer les coudes et prendre des mesures concrètes contre le bigotisme sous toutes ses formes.

Toronto is unique among cities of its size in completely lacking any protections from higher orders of government. Once Doug Ford is replaced as premier, we can’t forget how frustrating his constant meddling in our city was.

A 13 year-old boy was assaulted in front of his family as they were leaving the Toronto Islamic Centre after prayers. As a dad of a daughter the same age, that angers me to the core. Another member of the congregation was reportedly punched as they were walking home. This is the same mosque that was targeted with racist and Islamophobic remarks and violent threats earlier this year. Our city’s Muslim community, along with the Jewish community and all communities, must always be able to practice their faith, be who they are and come together, peacefully and safely. I’m committed to continue working to build bridges and understanding. I have also been calling for all laws to be fully and effectively enforced to protect our communities from harassment, intimidation, hate, and violence. Let’s support the Toronto Islamic Centre’s congregation and let them know we stand with them. Ramadan Mubarak.

The intellectual dishonesty from Doug Ford and Chief Demkiw is staggering. To suggest that we should reject the findings made by an impartial judge during a public trial that were based on the expert evidence called by both Crown and DEF for this OPP’s report is absurd.

It's tiresome to have to keep saying that he shames his office, but he shames his office.

Finland is the Happiest country in the World for the 9th year running. We also climbed up the world brand index from 7th to 5th. I am often asked why we do well in these rankings. I do not think there is a magic potion, but it helps to have a society which strives towards freedom, equality and justice. The basis of it all is a welfare society, a robust education system, a sense of security and a close attachment to nature. There is no such thing as a perfectly happy society, but providing some building blocks that give us a chance to live a meaningful life, to help others, will nudge us in the right direction during the journey of life.

It’s not news to anybody that Toronto’s garbage bins are badly designed. They’re kind of ugly and they’re always broken. For something that we see and use everyday, we have to do better. That’s why I’m happy that fixing them is finally on the agenda ✅

🚲 New ‘Cycling Annual Report’ shows impressive road safety progress despite significant challenges. Congrats to all the staff, councillors, residents & advocates who enabled these critical improvements! 👏 @DanKing4All 👏 👏 @CycleToronto 👏 👏 @FFSafeStreets 👏

Toronto City Councillor Josh Matlow is urging the city to support an ongoing court case that is challenging the constitutionality of provincial Ontario Place development plans. nowtoronto.com/news/toronto-c…

Thank you @baycloverhill for registering your opposition to jets at the island airport! This is a great letter template for other resident associations who want to stand up for our waterfront! #topoli #cdnpoli #onpoli

A group of Torontonians are taking a stand for Ontario Place- and pushing back against Doug Ford’s attacks on our democracy. Their case is now before the Supreme Court and city hall should have their backs. I'm asking that the City apply for intervenor status in the Ontario Place Protectors appeal - not just to save Ontario Place, but to protect every public asset in this province and our rights as citizens.

Congratulations on a well deserved Oscar - dedicated to ordinary people who stand up to dictators

this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh "Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
