Tomorrow, vote for a Toronto that lives up to its full potential.

A city where you can get home on time, afford to build a life with your family, and feel safe in your neighbourhood.

We know what Toronto can be. Let's vote to get it there.

At 22 years old, Allan “Scotty” Davidson was captain of the Toronto Blueshirts, the team that would later become the Toronto Maple Leafs, and led his team to the city’s first Stanley Cup victory. He left his team, his career, and his home behind to become one of the first professional hockey players to volunteer for the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

On June 16, 1915, he was killed in action after a shell exploded near him in the trenches. He was one of the many thousands of Canadians who never came home and whose names and stories should never be forgotten.

John Mansfield was a Canadian soldier from Nova Scotia who enlisted in 1916 and served with No. 2 Construction Battalion, Canadian Overseas Railway Construction Corps in France. In January 1918, Mansfield became seriously ill and he died on the 14th. He was 42 years old.

He was one of the many thousands of Canadians who never came home and whose names and stories should never be forgotten.

Tears & prayers for the tragedy unfolding @ CFB Wainwright. The loss of those serving, families affected and the courage of the 1st responders is in the hearts & minds of Canadians this day. With much yet to be told. Sending strength, faith and fortitude in the days ahead.

Delighted to meet up with my friend Counsellor @BradMBradford who represented us the Beaches-E York when we lived in @Toronto
A family person who is cares deeply for his community. I view him as a strong public servant, informed, approachable, proactive & effective. A fmr city planner who has campaigned on addressing the big issues of crime, congestion and cost. He is a man with a plan & get it done type of guy, a consensus builder, ethical & hardworking. He knows the city can & should be so much better. IMHO he will be an outstanding Mayor.

Happy National Family Week!

Military families make immense, often unseen sacrifices in service to Canada. Frequent relocations, deployments, and long separations are all part of the journey.
To the families who stand steadfast behind those in uniform: we see you and we thank you.

🚔💔 Mark Long spent his career in the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police, then spent the years after it telling the truth about what the job takes.

PTSD cost him the work, the purpose, and nearly his life. On July 7, 2017, he sat on a bench at his kids’ school and decided he was done. He got help. Then he built Cracked Armour in 2018, and later Returning Warriors Ranch in Nova Scotia, so the next cop, firefighter, corrections officer, soldier, or veteran wouldn’t have to sit on that bench alone.

He spoke about the crack in the armour on purpose. So someone still on shift, still in uniform, still pretending they’re fine, would know they’re not the only one.

Mark died suddenly. The work doesn’t die with him.

If you’re carrying it, say it out loud. Call someone. I’ve Got Your 6.

Rest easy, brother. ⚫️🔵⚫️
