Tory said he would look at term limits and accountability in the wake of the ford debacle. The city is being occupied by Metrolinx and it's friends, what can a candidate say? "elect me and I will continue to roll over?" it is interesting that Tory fell after a big property tax increase - the...

It isn't one issue so doesn't have one answer. There is enough housing in Toronto it's just not afforable. There are also people who can't manage all it takes to maintain housing. Sibling was a professinal tenant - moved every few months, even when they got subsidised, always ended up in...

Just visited Farm Boy on Queens Quay, in the new LCBO building. Very spacious but also brand oriented. Egg section has toy chickens with clucking soundtrack! Awesome ready-to-go stuff - couldn't resist the onion bhajis with tamarind sauce. Breakfast to go is affordable. Good bakery...

With John Tory gone let's hope the discussion turns to what is happening in Toronto and how to make life better for all residents, this finger wagging titillation is tiresome.

Homelessness has increased everywhere, even in China. Competency is very boring and usually goes unnoticed. As for transit, it is a service in flux we don't know what the new normal will be for service requirements. Pitching a tent in a public park is not a solution - if you have reached that...

Better co-ordinating service reconstructions for one, no more multiple dig sites for the same road. He also got money for social housing from the feds. Vacant home tax finally. Reinforced the need for deputy mayor role, especially with only 25 councillors for Canada's biggest city.

I'm sorry it has ended like this. Hopefully Mr Tory and his family can heal from this and live a contented and peaceful life out of the limelight. He has been a good mayor and enacted some meaningfull changes to the city.

this is a public forum - I'm here because I can be. I don't need your permission to have an opinion or to express it.

You only know he associated with gangbangers because the Toronto Star told you so. Nothing was ever proven in a court of law, which was the only way to remove the elected mayor of Toronto. If you like the idea of making judgements based on hearsay that is up to you. The Star is not the moral...

I remember the headlines. Now tell me what he was convicted of? I was not a Ford supporter but the truth is he was never convicted in a court of law of anything. Headlines are not convictions. Tory said when he was first elected that there needed to be mechanisms in place because apart from...

Not what I said - the star had all sorts of headlines about what he had done but he was never charged for anything - that is a fact. No driving errors, no drug convictions, no assaults -nada, nowt,nothing. So tell me what the Star was reporting on? They gave themselves awards for their...

To be fair most of what Rob Ford was accused of was only ever manifested as headlines for the star, the reason Tory acted on Friday was because the star was going to publish. The Star's behaviour during Ford's reign was why I don't take the star seriously anymore - it reached the level of...

I'm sorry to see Tory resign for this. He owes his wife respect and loyalty, he has failed that but it is something he has to work out with her, behind closed doors. John Tory was first elected in the wake of Rob Ford, he said during that campaign that certain aspects of city hall policy had...

The application might be an attempt to up the property value. A prime site downtown is valuable but a prime site with planning permission is much better on the balance sheet.

no I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being honest, bit of a stretch on this board I know but there it is......

I'm so angry about this proposal I can hardly stand it. Novotel was a part of our community and now the balance sheet watchers want to upend the entire neighbourhood for years with demolition, site clean up and multi-story rebuild. Does no one look at the waste this will produce? The landfill...

Times I Wish I had a Camera Number 34,728 - first resident of the condo spotted Sun 29 Jan 2023 - a falcon perched on a balcony keeping on eye on the dogpark at the Esplanade and Sherbourne, the local pigeons are too smart keep an eye on your dogs!

What is needed is a return to institutions, some people can not handle day-to-day living. Sending someone a cheque once a month and giving them a phone number is nothing when you compare what it takes to manage, my short list - manage monthly budget, get alone with neighbours, clean house, go...
