Given it's Peel police, this probably belongs in a Mississauga thread. Or the airport thread.

The location of the airport is in Mississauga, but the actual name of the airport is called Toronto Pearson Airport. It says so on the official website.
https://www.torontopearson.com/en
When people fly in and out of Toronto, they don't say Mississauga airport it's always "Toronto airport" or Pearson airport.
Even the news is calling it Toronto Pearson.
Yes but an event happening at the airport, regardless of what people call it, still is happening in Peel and isn’t reflective of Olivia Chow’s Toronto.

My point was the airport is called Toronto Pearson Airport, Some of the EMS may have been from the Toronto area.

Councillor Jennifer McKelvie is now a Liberal MP after winning in Ajax, leaving her council seat Scarborough-Rouge Park seat vacant.
It is up to council to determine if they want to appoint a councillor for the remainder of the term or hold a by-election.
According to the Star, one contender is former councillor and current TDSB Chair Neethan Shan.

This Scarborough councillor just won a seat in Mark Carney’s government. Here’s who is already jockeying for her not-yet-vacant council seat

In case anyone is making weekend plans, it's that time of year again... the Toronto Marathon is on Sunday.
This is the one that starts at Yonge and Sheppard and goes south to Davisville and then snakes its way through the city to wind up at Lake Shore and Strachan.
Expect many road closures on Sunday until about 2:00 p.m.

Until 1956, Toronto city elections were held every year. Before 1949, many were held on January 1st (New Year's Day). So we can have a by-election before October 26 of this year, based on the past city elections.Monday, October 26, 2026.

I remember a few recent cases where council just appointed the replacement. Is that what normally happens? Or is a byelection likely?

I believe the informal benchmark is basically this: if there is less than one year left, appoint; if there is more than one year, have a byelection.
So we are still in byelection territory as of now.

I'd also keep an eye on the trial of Councillor Michael Thompson. There could be another Scarborough council by-election, pending the result.

The city's "action plan" on coyotes in Liberty Village seems to be the same as their "action plan" on encampments in busy parks. The plan is to not really do anything about it, hope it goes away eventually and people living there should just suck it up in the meantime.

It's not that there's absolutely no merit to that course of inaction. There are tradeoffs with taking action. But they should be honest that what they're proposing is not an "action plan" but the exact opposite.
Downtown Toronto coyote action plan approved amid ‘unprecedented’ number of incidents
Councillors have approved an action plan to respond to an 'unprecedented' number of coyote attacks in the Liberty Village and Fort York neighbourhoods.

Stumbled across that city staff had a presentation about pedestrian streets to the the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee today for their feedback, as staff are updating policy because,
"There is growing demand to convert existing roads into pedestrian-only spaces, but staff have no clear policy, standards, or implementation strategy to determine where, how, and by whom this should be done."
Staff aims to bring a report to Infrastructure and Environment Committee by December 2025. Something in the pipeline to keep an eye out for.
