Toronto mayor calls for mental health summit, transit union wants task force as violence reaches 'crisis level'

Toronto police have reported three incidents on the city’s transit system in the past four days alone.

That’s all on Tory’s mishandling of security in the transit system. Armed and empowered security force is required to eliminate the problem! Cut the funding of social issues in favour of public safety Tory!!

Jobs education healthcare affordable housing a chance at a future. What else do you need a mea copa. Solicit your counterparts ask take best practices let the professionals in and seek their advice. Talk to 999 Queen St. you don’t need a meeting a summit and snacks and coffee

Sanctuary city. Very California.

You need to eliminate the people doing the crimes instead of rewarding them

Diversity gets expensive.

This is what happens when you give free drugs to drug addicts. It don't work.

Whining help.....ehhh

Let the police to their job. Do not release violent criminals.

Add a bunch more immigrants to ride those trains you will fix the problem.

A summit won't solve the violence . More enforcement will.

That's progressivism.

Sure let's spend more money to get a report on what we already know. Hospitals are stressed to the point that they can't even take 24 hr psych assessment patients who come through emergency. That little bit of help/respite that used to exist for those most in need - is gone.

Ah love to see the Hug a Thug program working so well in liberal land

'task force' whenever there is a problem in this country for some reason we just throw a group together who then proceeds to waste a year or two and nothing gets done.

Mayor John Tory calling for national summit on mental health after recent violence on Toronto streets“A lack of mental health supports undoubtedly contributes to a number of issues we are seeing in cities across the country,” Tory said in a statement. JohnTory has had 2 terms to address our city's social problems. Years & years to find new revenue, charge more for parking, add sales tax or congestion charge, stop pandering to drivers and the damn Gardiner. TO is falling apart on multiple levels and here he is in term 3. Ugh. No more consults. Get mental health workers out on the streets to help people in need. Start hiring people now. This wait and see attitude is where we are now After locking down a population for 2 years. Denying them access to loved ones, discriminating against people and recommending reporting your neighbors for non compliance, thus killing the fabric of society, you need a study to find out why people have mental health issues.
