Don't want a speeding ticket? Then don't speed. Hospitals & police chiefs agree: speed cameras save lives. So why is Ford risking lives just to make it easier for reckless drivers to break the law? Tell Ford to keep speed cameras & enforce speed limits: progresstoronto.ca/petition-prote…

To continue cleaning up the mess left at City Hall, we need to elect more progressives and continue holding conservatives accountable. Read Tory's statement and add your name to help keep conservatives out of City Hall: progresstoronto.ca/keep-conservat…

We launched The Tory Files in August 2025 to remind us all of his 9 years as mayor: sweetheart deals for his friends, financial turmoil, and inaction on issues that matter most to our city. Conservative politicians like John Tory have no place in political office.

BREAKING: Great news for our city - John Tory just announced he’s not running for mayor of Toronto. Why? Because we held him accountable. John Tory was hoping we would forget about his record as mayor. We didn't let that happen. 🧵

What are you going to cut, Brad? Library hours? Recreation programs? Transit service? 🧐
Brad Bradford@BradMBradford

@TDotResident No. I’ve been talking about an examination of the budget, and reallocation of the funds to deliver real value for money for taxpayers.

Did Doug’s fifth Minister of Education use Ontario taxpayer $$$ to fly to England to meet with “Britain’s Strictest Headmistress”? Ontario families are being asked to fundraise for basic school supplies due to Ford’s cruel cuts to education. Does Mr. Calandra know about Zoom?

Michaela Community School was an incredible experience to witness first hand. The demonstration between the relationship of the students and teachers showed an incredible level of respect, responsibility and discipline. Thank you to the headteacher, Katharine Birbalsingh for having us.

We won! City Council voted yes to Mayor Chow's Mansion Tax! This means the richest 0.5% of all Torontonians will pay a little bit more to fund affordable housing, transit, and more. Nearly 2,000 people took action and it worked. Take a look at how your City Councillor voted ⤵️

Mayor Olivia Chow's increase to the land transfer tax charged on homes sold for more than $3 million is APPROVED by council, 17-7.

@PeanutHorses Only the richest 0.5% of Torontonians can afford a $3 million+ house—when so many are struggling, the wealthiest among us can pay a little more to build a better city for all of us.

Won't someone think about people who have marble 23-parking lots! Don't worry, we are. That's why we're pushing City Council to tax the ultra-wealthy to fund transit, affordable housing, and more. Council votes soon - sign our mansion tax petition: #petition" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">progresstoronto.ca/mansion-tax#pe

"There was some scoffing about somebody who might have a $20 million house and 23 parking spots and marble and so on. You know what, though? They earned it!" says Holyday. He doesn't think the "government should come and take it away and give it to someone else."

Nobody moves any amendments to Mayor Olivia Chow's motion to speed up the Finch West LRT, streetcars and other transit routes with better signal priority. The motion CARRIES 22-1. secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda…

A mansion tax would support programs that make life more affordable for everyone, like: 🏘️ Protect & expand affordable housing 🚇 Prevent fare increases & improve TTC service 🍎 Provide school meals for children 📚 Keep libraries open on Sundays Sign: progresstoronto.ca/mansion-tax

A mansion tax is expected to bring in over $150 million—equivalent to a 3% property tax increase on all homeowners. If people like the Rogers Family contribute a bit more, it'll ease the pressure on the rest of us and make Toronto more liveable. progresstoronto.ca/mansion-tax

We think multi-millionaires (hi Kevin O’Leary👋) should pay higher taxes than you. Agree? Mayor Chow is bringing a mansion tax so only the richest 0.5% of Torontonians will pay more to fund city services. Sign to let council know you support it: progresstoronto.ca/mansion-tax

I joined @ttcriders at City Hall to talk about the importance of fast, reliable transit for everyone. I’m encouraged to see the TTC Chair and Mayor Chow are working on fixes to get Line 6 moving faster, and I’ll be continuing to push for accessible and affordable public transit.
