Toronto Mayor John Tory is calling for a national summit on mental health, saying we are seeing a “mental health crisis,” the effects of which are playing out in Toronto every day.

He said more needs to be done to address the mental health crisis and called for the prime minister and premiers to come together to come up with better solutions.

He pointed out that demand for psychological services in Ontario grew by 50 per cent last year and that according to the Ontario Psychological Association approximately 900,000 young people in the province are living with mental illness.

raehanbobby Yes, JohnTory, we should have a summit... to discuss how your Conservative policies are creating conditions for even more mental health crisis in Toronto. This is a politician looking for someone/something else to blame for his shitty governing.

Another summit? Another discussion? Really Its not needed, the government has received years of solutions Its time for action now! Watch the NYC mayor, sit down with caregivers stop pushing things under the rug it is decades of inaction that has led to this crisis!

Mr. Tory, cultural shifts, wars, economic downturns, energy crisis, and pandemics and shutdowns shake people's certainties a great deal. It is a phenomenon that is happening worldwide. Heed the signs.

Yo, you opened canabis for everyone and you expect us to follow you? Streets are a pandemonium and you don’t show up at crime scenes? Just quit

How bout a traffic summit to open the roads back up again

JohnTory What will a Summit tell you that you don’t already know? Its time for concrete actions. You were elected as Mayor so now it’s your responsibility to DO SOMETHING specific Vs pontificate.

Do Nothing mayor doing more nothing. Worthless

A summit? Oh my god, we need to take power away from these boomers.

JohnTory Not just Toronto streets ,but all around in the workforce and the causes of mental health including environmental factors,lack of supports,resources.What's happening in the streets is history repeating itself 2005-2010!

Most powerful mayor in Canada too milquetoast to act

No one needs a summit, the solution is plain and obvious. More affordable housing, more mental health care and more social supports. His own decisions have helped create the current crises

You know I got thinking…the average cost of a studio apartment is 2k/month in Toronto according to Google. Then I multiplied that by 12 to get the yearly cost which is 24k/year. Then I wondered how many ppl could have housing say for 48M dollars? Turns out 2000 ppl! Hmm 🤔

So locking everyone up for a couple of years wasn't such a good idea?

No mention of what he plans to do at the municipal level. He’s got his strong mayor powers and he can take action. He can do something. Instead, he wants to pretend it is solely a mental health issue so he can pass the buck. Right. Got it.

One word property

“I don’t understand it!” Says Tory “We keep tearing down their tent cities and it fixes nothing!!!”

Mental health created by all your Covid foolishness

The issue is that when Covid vaccines started slit of homeless people with addictions took 4,5,6 extra shots for other people to get money for dope and the people to have their passport vacation filled. They just used their name .

Maybe look at who’s feeding them constant fear and hatred. Maybe look at how everyone is broke and struggling. Maybe look at the degrading conditions of Toronto. 10 years ago this was the best city in the world.

Welcome to Tory's sanctuary city.

They should not have closed psychiatric wards .you all need to open many .

BFFR, the call is coming from inside the house...

Start with committing all the insane politicians

Lockdowns, lack of socializing ability, loss of jobs, businesses, over prescribing narcotics, fear mongering, hateful divide by government and MSM, and more.. Take your pick what could drive people mentally unstable..

Weren’t you all for defunding the police a few years ago Tory? 🖕 you

Ever heard of a mirror

Also you need more resources for the homeless. One shelter isn’t going to help anybody, especially in the winter.

Bum

or...OR...lets get tough on crime 🙂

Boy these politicians love to host summits and conferences and fund raising events all in the name of the people for the people, they talk and eat and laugh and chat and in the end nothing changes, except their pocket books for the better

It’s a problem everywhere.

No bail.Give tough sentences.Lock them up for a long time. Make sure there are real deterrents.

So he’s thrown his hands up in the air after not doing much for years.

A national summit for what's happening on Toronto's streets? Wouldn't 'national' imply other municipalities might be included? Or is this just a Toronto headline for a Toronto problem?

No, you don't get to do this now. It's not new. You've been sitting on this for a while JohnTory, non? lesstalkmoreaction

Talk is cheap

I call on a JAIL MEMBERSHIP ONLY SUMMIT for former and existing criminals to show up.

It’s called a lack of policing criminals after the BLM/Antifa protests - combined with the Federal Government diverting finite resources to chase legal firearm owners. It isn’t hard to understand. But yeah, a national summit where these elitists circle jerk each other is great.

How about paying for the medications these people need instead of cutting them off at 25!

And whose calling for a mental health summit when it's him that has homeless evicted out their tents & makeshift houses,the only homes they know & no where else to go. He needs to look in his own back yard. That just adds to mental illness.

Re-open the mental health facilities that you closed 40yrs ago.

Summit? Ever since Tory has been in office the City has gone down hill. It's dirty, lacks proper management, lacks social services, lacks.... hey? Is Lastman still around? Tory is just a talker, makes himself look good, guess it gelps to have Rogers on his side.

He just talk. Everyone knows ,that is a mental and drugs problem. In the city. Growing like hell. ……..They just care about bullet , and increasing prices. Nice talking do. 🧟‍♂️

or bad behaviour?

How about you ask your buddy Dougie to start spending the money that he was given where it belongs to actually help people instead of lining his pockets oh, and yours, of course

So he’s implying that violent individuals are suffering from mental illness and therefore perpetuating the stigma. Aren’t we trying to move past these misconceptions? Bad take by the mayor.

Toronto already has the best mental hospital CAMH and the mental Care in the world. And we have more crazy people than the third world country. It's clear that the issue is not the mental health, maybe he sure reinforce better law and harsh punish criminals. We need law & order

Spreading lies and fear and turning people against their own friends and families had its consequences? I am shocked

Why don’t you hold a summit on the crosstown LRT?

It's called the unnecessary, excessive and prolonged covid measures in an attempt to contain a virus that many are now admitting is about the same severity as the flu. Oh yeah...let's not forget the forced vaccinations of an experimental drug that has never been proven.

Yep. Another meeting. That’s going to be productive.

HELP THE HOMELESS ‼️

That extra money that's supposed to go to the cops could solve a couple of problems...

How about you stop your war on the vulnerable, JohnTory

This 👦 still wants to be conservative leader and eventually prime Minister. We've Always had mental issues on the streets of Toronto and Canada 🇨🇦, it come with living in an Arctic country, but the truth is the transit 🚇 system has been broken for decades and getting critical.

The justice system has lost control, and needs to tighten. Catch one and cut their hand off and see how many ppl follow the trend!

Hear me out: Rogers_LetsTalk

Government is the cause of almost all our mental health issues.

Do you want me one that needs mental health is you John Tory before the election you promised that you could do everything to make your life better now that you better lectured all your cares about raising taxes

But PierrePoilievre Said summits and bureaucratic posturing slows down action?

Considering their age it is pretty obvious that OntarioPCParty fordnation & Sflecce SylviaJonesMPP lied about funding mental health! Not enough mental health nurses? Wonder why ? Funds to MH in education -? Teachers Watching a MH video is not more support. classsizematters

In the meantime, start rounding them up and house them at the Ex…they are damaging everyone!

Mental health crisis - new speak for criminal behaviour.

JohnTory I hope he realizes that his legacy as a mayor will be Toronto plunged in a mental health and homeless crisis, with its citizens at the mercy of random violence. We don’t need a national summit, we need a why is Toronto “a world class cirty” so poorly run.

Yes please

Only 2 weeks to flatten the curve..Ya right WHO

Bring up specifically EMR (electro magnetic radiation).

He can start with calling Doug Ford, the guy who cut so much of our social programs.

Mental health? It’s crime! Criminals. Stop babying these people, lock em up for life. If they are retarded or crazy locking them up is good too.

Tory talks for hours and says nothing... besides lets talk somemore?

Gaslighting, hypocrite. Most individuals in Toronto voted for him. We as a society need to take some time out and critically think about who we vote into office.

Mental Health has become a open invitation into paid time off and is being abused.

Drug induced Mental Health? why is this never being mentioned?

What a joke. It's his woke agenda and liberal ideals that have turned that city into the cesspit it is. This lies squarely on his shoulders - his and Ford's.

Conservatives are causing the mental health crises across the country with their lies, gaslighting, and rage farming. ConservativeLies NeverVoteConservative

Hey JohnTory Don't let this slide. Too much is needed. You push harder for all the support needed. Not safe to ride TTChelps not safe to walk the streets. It's NYC 1983.....

Why do we need a national summit to address the violence occurring on Toronto streets? If this a local issue, which you make it sound like it is, it needs a local solution. It is not happening Halifax buses or Montreal subways.

John Tory want are going to do to make Toronto safe city?

it’s caused by the wild liberal leaders.

He’s the mayor. This is his responsibility. His policies did this. He must resign.

Why do you need a national summit when it is happening under yours and Dougies watch. Give more to support TTC. You won’t get the money from Dougie it is all tied up in unwanted highways, developers and privatization of healthcare

Mental health! More like the covid vaxx flying people out of the coo coo's nest

Maybe pfizer can help you out since you're one of their top salesmen. TorysToronto NewCanada

nothing like a good ol retreat, summit, outing we can do on the taxpayers dime to solve their problems in the most mediocre way possible

Keep telling men that they can have babies…that’ll solve so many mental health issues.

There should be one unarmed mental health expert inside every police car when 911 is called in.

Drug addicted burdens on society. Get them in a rehab and make them get jobs (no welfare). Case closed. He can cancel his summit now.

FUND MentalHealth!!! 💰 ✅ community centers ✅ libraries ✅ youth “hubs” ✅ recreation & sports activities

A summit So that all the ppl who should already be doing something can gather, eat, drink, & talk about the things they should already be doing, congratulate themselves, then continue w business as usual 🤨🙄

5G and its effects on people's mental and physical health is stronger than anticipated

A summit, that's exactly what we need. A summit. 🙄

What about taking action, instead of just talk?

Maybe if he put money into social services, a national summit wouldn't be necessary

JohnTory The new budget will make everything worse by making the TTC more dangerous and expensive by increasing the fare on top of inflation rates.

It’s almost like that massive police budget isn’t helping.

summit will address only their empty stomachs with some fancy seafood. also, 'national'? does he want Edmonton to solve Toronto's issues or Yellowknife?

Take action or step down. Enough is enough. 🤦🏻‍♂️

alandrummond2 A MakingGains 30 year anniversary held in Toronto again? Sign us up! Happy to bring an after action report from the frontlines for the progress so far. MentalHealth

He needs mental health

RejectStrongMayorPowers

It's not a mental health crisis, it's a bad behavior crisis.

Step 1: let's give all our city budget to cops Step 2: ask the whole country why we can't cover the health needs of the people living in the city

Simple. Lock people up, if not a citizen deport them

Forget the summit. Cut police spending and increase spending for social services

From a mayor who decided to up police funding instead of social programs?!? What a joke!

Action not chat is required

This mayor is a joke.

How about not giving 50mil to the cops and actually funding shelters and mental health programs instead JohnTory

Tory is nothing but a talking head. Andrea Horwath is gone from the NDP and we don't have to hr ramble on and o, but Tory seems to be taking up the slack. A lot of talk, but no action.

Do your job Tory and fix it yourself. Maybe locking people up in their homes for 2 years wasn’t the best idea for people’s mental health. Or maybe we should talk about the people who can’t afford a home and are on the streets. Good thing property tax is going up though 🤡 🌎

It is a crisis but you are the problem. You don’t know what to do about it. All talk no action.

I hate to say it but these old shits will finger nail against any positive changes until the whole damn system collapses...and they will be forced to change.

HINT: The solution does not involve $50 million in increased policing. 😢 Hypocrite 😡

It's happening everywhere.

Get help for those who need it and get tough on crime for the criminal pukes that swarm people & commit crime with impunity because they know they’ll get a slap on the wrist at most. There is no fear of punishment or authority anymore. It has to stop.

So why does JohnTory want to give more to the police budget instead of doing what's right & spend more on MentalHealth ?!!!

why don’t you do your job and address it with funding community and mental health services in the city?

The mayoral news service on top form again

but JohnTory wants to spend more on policing than on housing and mental health and addictions support services!?! toryfail defundthepolice

He needs to stop masking this as mental health. You have a revolving door that allows criminals back out, you allow people to inject drugs instead of helping them and a culture that glorifies criminality who you can’t call out because they will claim racism

Will the summit be before or after sics the cops and bulldozers on the homeless suffering the most from the mental health crisis?

He should spend more on police and cancel any policies that would make housing affordable. Also, once that expensive, exclusive spa blocks lake Ontario from Torontonians, I think mental health in the city will overall improve.

‘Capitalism and Schizophrenia’ by Deleuze and Guattari. Read it.

He needs to fix the violence and problems in Toronto saying it’s “mental health crisis” is wrong it’s unfortunately not the only reason he needs to step down and get someone in there who wants to fix the problem’s and not just blame it on mental heath Tory is out of touch

We needed those tax dollars. Instead we paid for forceful taking of freedom and booby traps hiding in the corners like speeding tickets. Let us live like humans. Our municipal militiary is supposed to serve us, not be aimed at us.

100 cruisers on the corners preying on citizens, just waiting for them to make mistakes. They can’t wait to rip money out your hands and they dehumanized putting people in metal apparatuses and holding your freedom hostage. And they don’t care because they’re immune. +Cameras.

It started with Mike Harris and closures of psychiatric hospitals, staff layoffs etc. This is Ontario's problem to deal with immediately instead of wasting time with ridiculous national summits.We need $$$ for mental health services.

Starts with schools and you have abandoned them and lie to the public

Yes spend money in a summit so you appear to be taking action, instead of spending that money where it could actually help. You have access to enough expertise in your own city to understand the need and how to address it. Hint - it isn't more police.

Maybe he needs to go door to door forcing vaccines again.

It’s a broken system and they’re going to force you to be shackled to it, holding your freedom over your life. It’s like a bus that’s about to fall off a cliff and the legal system is using intrusive methods TO FORCE YOU TO BE SHACKLED TO THE FALLING BUS. Let us live humanely.

Politicians are the most needed

The government is preying on people using cameras and tax-funded equipment. They literally stalk you down. Every corner you got cruisers, and they’re not reasonable to people. And they wonder why people are getting more and more tense. The cameras feel like laser rays.

The mental health crisis is from the NDP and liberals handing out free drugs to people with drug addictions. That's like quit and smoking and saying you're only going to have a few. Can't fix stupid.

Every incident is mental Health related and from dumping criminals on the streets at the beginning of Pandemic they have embedded themselves...

Wrong diagnosis. Wrong solution. Worst outcome

TORY - “The lack of funding on mental health … is particularly clear on the streets of municipalities across the country” TORY’s ANSWER - let’s spend money on a “summit” and more cops! 🤡 onpoli cdnpoli Toronto

This is why we voted for Tory for a realistic approach. Hopefully change and appropriate action will follow.

I’m sure the numerous futile lockdowns and measures put in place by the government “to flatten the curve” have nothing to do with this, right?

At National Summit: Tory: friends, we are living in unprecedented times where obviously more supports are needed to help our communities with respect to a growing mental health crisis. I propose raising police budgets by 25% while cutting social programs to fund the increase.

Correction. He shifted the blame on the Feds and the provinces.

The mayor should do something actually within his control, like improve TTC service and security, not merely pay lip service to it. More than 75% of the TTC funding “increase” for this year is to service new lines, not improve the existing experience. This is distraction theatre.

Not being able to afford housing and food, maybe?

A “National Summit”? Why can’t JohnTory just do his job using the absolute power bestowed upon him by fordnation ? Why does everything have to be a Federal Issue? Putting the homeless in 5 star downtown hotels with no services is wasteful. Talk is cheap!

Yes, but first we should have a meeting about the proposed meeting that will discuss the idea of whether a summit is the right call... but first, let's do nothing

Stop lying is a big first step to mental well-being. The level of lying in the past 3 years has escalated to a point that is creating unwell, unhealthy societies. Everyone will pay the price if the media, government, religious leaders and corporations do not stop lying.

May I ask why 'national' ? This should be on Toronto city council agenda. Oh I forgot Ford.made Tory the King of Toronto..councillors have zero power. This is in your hands JohnTory ..maybe call the Ontario Minister of health ( useless) or fordnation ( also useless)

National summit won’t do. Tory needs to take some action or step down if he cannot deal with increased random violence in the city

The healing has to begin in Ottawa

He disgusts me. He is one of the reasons for this. Forcibly removing homeless people with no solutions. His buddy Ford government cutting back on mental health funding.

Yet JohnTory policy was to hire more cops 🤡 TOpoli

Maybe Bob Rae can help out. Lol

It's not a mental health crisis! It's young and older criminals acting out because we are a nation without consequences. Excuses for their behavior! Car jackings, stabbings, shootings, swarmings. Mental issues. No bloody way.

Damn what a big strong mayor, yes he is isn't he

Feelingstruth

maybe handing out syringes was a bad idea, and show boating transexuals and people with gender dysphoria as perfectly normal (endocrine secretion problems). Accepting blasphemous social norms are detrimental to children ,families parents ,young adults and society as a whole .

The bigger crises that Tory should handle are all the adverse events and deaths caused by this experimental vaccine and the mandatory nature by which it was forced on City and health employees .

It is pronounced in Toronto however increased mental health issues have catapulted. We know what the contributing factors are!

This couldn't have anything to do with the fact that you recently had the shelter hotel residents swiftly and violently evicted, with no additional resources provided, could it johntory

Hire more people with guns on the ttc

You and Ford are on the top of the list, if I said trudeau and Freeland they would use it to tell the country to fell sorry for them after they sold out Canada.

Let's have a meeting so we can plan a meeting where we can decide on what to do which will require more meetings. Bro - let's start by taking some of that sweet sweet police budget and putting it to something that counts.

People have to wait months for help. Unacceptable obviously

National? Why not just call up yopur buddy fordnation and meet with him and his cabinet.

You enjoying the drama?

Why not give some of that increase to the police budget to community and mental health services.

Staff have concerns about safety, discrimination, photos, videos and both verbal & physical assaults/threats and stalking. Anything done? Nope. High stress, anxiety, depression and instead of supports they have punitive attendance management programs.

If only the Ontario government had a $2 Billion surplus that could help us out…

Pander to landlords and international property owners more, that will fix it.

JohnTory John Tory should realize that John Tory is the issue

Mental health crisis comes from pricing people out of housing market, inflating groceries, direct and indirect taxation, long waiting hours in ER and non availability of doctors.fix that and there will be no crisis. You cant do that.!

JohnTory Start with your conservative counterparts in our provincial government. Demand that they pay our healthcare and education workers a living wage, invest in cyws within our schools, easily accessible free social programs for all, and free universal healthcare.

Staff have been requesting programming, supports and funding to address these issues for years. Staff were disregarded.

'Lets study it, so we don't have to support people'

We have been talking on the CanadianBTCPod about the rapid decay of society for some time. The problem is a lot of proposals to address the issues will treat the symptoms and not the cause.

I really wish they stop using mental health as an excuse for all this craziness in the city. Some of these people yes may have mental health issues but there are those who perfectly sane and are just plain evil. I said what I said 🤷🏽‍♀️🤨🤨

There's lots of solutions but you just don't care. It's shameful and repulsive the way you throw money at police instead of investing in the people. Disgusting. You are directly responsible for the suffering of many.

Something needs to be done and quickly. This population has suffered the most during the pandemic. Its not just a mental health crisis, its addiction, its homelessness, and a lack of available services. We need more crisis treatment centres and crisis beds.

If people had enough for a room and food it would cut this out alot. The money is there but the Ford Govt is giving it to those that do not need it. No excuse

Let’s just ignore the impact of lockdowns on everyone’s mental health, which JohnTory advocated for…

He keeps saying this is a mental health crisis. There's far more going on here..not every incident is menal health related.

JohnTory Your legacy is letting Toronto slide into a dystopian S%hole. Hollow words over & over again.

'I allowed my streets, parks and public transit to be overrun with drugged out and violent mental cases... someone else needs to do something.'

🍄

he and ford caused it with their endless tax cuts, austerity and obsequious pandering to real estate investors and corporations insane!

Now we're talking.

Lots of problems in the city. Safe drug houses, homelessness etc. you don’t need a summit to figure out what is going on.

ambermac First they make us sick, then they offer to phone their doctor for us. Rich.

We already had something better, an election, in 2015.

It’s amazing how much this coincides with the decriminalization of drug use

Thanks John. You cannot have such huge economic gaps in a society & not expect an increase in general violence. Too many people are being dealt out, left behind & ignored. These acts are the tip of the problem that will only get worse. People need hope of finding ways forward.

Need conferences, workshops with local non profit organizations and public

Another one NotMyFaultGovt

JohnTory JohnTory will you be issuing a formal apology for all your divisive, bigoted comments blaming violence on the person's experiencing mental health issues. The mental health community already deals with a disappropriate amount of stigmatization.

Who's going to pay for the mental health professionals if he just keeps uping the police budget? He is the wrong choice for Toronto and yet they just elected him again 🙄🙄🙄

How about you step down

How about stop giving crutches for bad behaviour, kids even know that the pendulum of justice has swayed in favour of criminal acts and bad behaviour. No one is accountable .

Build a wall around Toronto and fill it with concrete

Or you can go to bat for your constituents and take Doug Ford to task in an effort to get him to back away from the 413 deal and use that money to help get us through the tail end of the pandemic.

Just get the violent offenders off the streets, don't let them out to commit violence again. Tougher punishments needed - mental health is not an excuse to commit violence. Hold offenders accountable. Provide help, but keep them off our streets. Don't need to waste $ on summit

You all created this mental health issue with constant psychological manipulation daily making people think they are going to die.

JohnTory Tory: reactive, performative, hypocritical.

All accountability is lost by attributing the recent acts of hooliganism to mental health issues. We had huge stress during the various crisises in the last century. No swarmings resulted. We don't need apologists .. we need these idiot teens and their parents to be punished.

Locking people up for prolonged periods of times may trigger / unlock gene expression of mental health disorders. This is expected

As soon as you here the words summit, meetings, continue the dialogue and a few others, you know that you are dealing with 'do nothing' bureaucrats, and we're just about to lose even more tax money. These guys are just a total clown show.

Poor guy, the Tory Transit Company is in shambles. he's calling for a summit as the business has been threatened. but worry not, this is another opportunity to justify additional funding or raise in TTC fares.

Start with that community on the left!!!

During the 2021 unnecessary election, Trudeau promised money for MHI. Has PM Pinocchio delivered anything yet?

Enough with studies and summit BS wake up JohnTory and do something. A round table isn’t doing anything. Put undercover cops on random streetcars and buses. This guy is completely useless

Ya. A mental health crisis you helped create with you restrictions/COVID fear mongering / isolation policies. JohnTory you have played a major role in all of this. Take responsibility. Show some true leadership.

Only thing we get is 15 min appointments with a psych doctor and then nothing for 3 months.

Nothing screams 'I don't know how to do my job' more than this.

So long as you know jail is not an option these humans require proper intensive treatment resolve the supportive HousingCrisis and they don't need police shooting them. onpoli cdnpoli

You too need to RESIGN.

Instead of offering rehab we offer safe injection sites

Is anyone in media going to ask how presiding over the country’s longest lockdown with a singular focus on one virus without regard to the collateral damage may have contributed to the ‘mental health crisis’ playing out on Toronto’s streets?

JohnTory How many more hotels for them? How many more neighbourhoods will you be destroying? Get them mental help and stop giving them drugs on my dime! Enough with endangering innocent citizens!

Zoom summit?

What will a National summit solve it’s happening now address it now. Summits meetings gatherings with food coffee small talk and good cheer doesn’t do a thing Now. You have no answers and you think others do. They can relay to you their plans and you can implement or yours.

Restore carding!! And let the police do the carding!!! During millers time as mayor not like that!

Hold on lets give another billion to Ukraine first and have more protests in the streets

How about get the premiers to stop cutting education and health budgets. That would be a start.

Full circle.. he was also the one calling for the lockdowns that led many to suffer a mental health crisis.

That’s not your only problem!

Hey we have this woke thing in Canada where you’re Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) if you murder or stab someone by claiming mental health issues. No criminal record just a short stay in a mental hospital before being released. You can even change your name !

The only two who can bring justice to this city

A summit? For what? To tell you that you need to put more money into mental health resources, housing, livable wage businesses, and less into police services? I can tell you that for free.

Doesn't want actual solutions though.

There are true homeless people who need affordable housing and people with true mental health needs. But we must come to terms that there are people who don’t want to be part of a functioning society and those people must be taken off the streets.

Or just enforce laws and jail addicts instead of giving them needles and drugs and then letting them roam the streets.

The government did this to the ppl, watching the news does this to the people. The media does this to the ppl. Blame yourselves. Everywhere we look, there is always something to put you down. War, inflation, covid variants, violence, crime. Always instilling fear into the ppl.

Anybody else notice how the world has become increasingly more shit since we’ve had to pander to liberalism and woke extremists? Is it just a coincidence or?

Toronto is not a safe city nor is the ttc for that matter. It doesn’t comfort me when he says compared to other cities, Toronto is relatively safe. It’s cruel to let people with mental health issues be homeless and drug addicted.

All the time and money spent, for what ? Bring back carding and let the cops do their job.

Now this morning! TTC EMPLOYEES ARE TARGETS! JusticeForAlex ATUlocal113 JohnTory TTChelps

Shouldn’t the 50 million that you gave the police help JOKE

Only mental health crisis I see is in our 'leaders' who've weaseled their way into positions of power and caused this chaos. Toronto Crime MentalHealth
