Toronto Citizens Collective

The Toronto Citizens Collective is a group of residents fighting for a better city, one bad mayoral candidate at a time.

[TTCriders @ttcriders]

TTCriders volunteers were out Thursday night at Spadina Station to talk to riders about the TTC's proposal for fare capping and our fight for more affordable transit!

Keep an eye on https://t.co/rUY2mXAjHH to volunteer with us for better transit.

Nuit Blanche East Danforth in @BradMBradford 's Toronto 🥇An A+ report card will require just a little more investment, pls try again!

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

He doesn't speak for us.

Mr More Housing votes against all proposed shelters. Note that earlier in this meeting, he had to declare a conflict of interest because his wife works for a developer.

[Matt Elliott @GraphicMatt]

And the shelter item as amended CARRIES 22-3. All six sites will go forward.

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

Delaying, deferring, once again. Stopping shelters across the city-- for who? Who is contacting him about this? We call bullshit. This man is playing political games with people's lives.

[Matt Elliott @GraphicMatt]

Here's the text of Bradford's motion re: the Sixth Street shelter. Councillor Morley asks Bradford what his "interest" is in this shelter, given it's in her ward. Bradford says he "heard from a lot of people" about this particular site.

[TTCriders @ttcriders]

We hope council votes to reject this half-baked motion from a Councillor who represents a ward far outside the scope of planned RapidTO lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin Streets.

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

The local city councillor? Nowhere to be found!

Journalism is a precarious, poorly paid profession but you learn every day and that can include how lucky you are. Yesterday I covered Mayor Chow's visit to 500 Dawes Rd., an apartment building notorious for pests, mould and various malfunctions. Chow met 3 tenants ...

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

Bradford wants priority bus lanes for FIFA attendees, but not for the people who use these buses year round. Maybe he's going after the soccer fan demographic? Double his 1% vote count in the next mayoral race?

[Matt Elliott @GraphicMatt]

Councillor Brad Bradford moves to make the RapidTO lanes on Bathurst & Dufferin temporary, expiring July 31, 2026.

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

TCCC?

[Progress Toronto @progresstoronto]

Why is Brad Bradford teaming up with far-right conservatives like Anthony Furey and Roman Baber to oppose real solutions to some of our biggest challenges? 🤔

Today, July 15, Bradford is holding a press conference to block shelters, rapid transit, affordable housing, and more ⤵️

[FMTA @TorontoTenants]

"It's not technically illegal,"

Bad journalism.

Totally illegal under section 106 (2) of the RTA which states "The amount of a rent deposit SHALL NOT be more" than one month.

We're out in East York supporting the tenants of 994 O'Connor Drive who are facing renoviction. No more renovictions! No more no-fault evictions! Stop the displacement of our neighbours!

[West End Phoenix @westendphoenix]

Can we take a crumb off the police budget so people can sit in a park and watch a movie please?

[Dave Bush @DBrabblerouser]

As I and hundreds of thousands sit in the dark, I am reflecting on how great it is that Toronto spends $2.3 billion on police services and not on suring up our aging infrastructure that crumbles under rain.

[Shelter and Housing Justice Network @SHJNetwork]

Thank you for everyone who showed up for the press conference. Big thank you to ⁦@MaggiesToronto⁩ ⁦@HPAP_Ontario⁩ ⁦@HolyTrinityTO⁩ for speaking today. We demand more shelter spaces and also cooling centres immediately. #ShelterNow #CoolingCentresNow #TOpoli

For context, Toronto police have already spent $1.5 million on World Cup expenditures. These purchases include new police cars, commemorative medallions, and Apple AirPods:

[Shelter and Housing Justice Network @SHJNetwork]

Amidst the intensified criminalization, targeting, and dehumanization of all our communities in Toronto that continue to advocate for justice, we must also necessarily be reminded of the reality of who creates, or eradicates notions of "safety."

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

My statement opposing the proposed Member’s Motion, “Requesting the Province to Create Safety Zones Around Places of Worship, Faith-Based Schools and Vulnerable Community Social Infrastructure”. It’s neither constitutional nor actually contributes to community safety.

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

2/2 Let the mayor and your city councillors know that we expect them to vote it down here: https://t.co/lSTZpgJk3S

[Toronto Citizens Collective @TOCitizensCo]

1/2 Some people are more upset by protests against genocide than by *actual* genocide. This Thursday, Brad Bradford is putting forward a motion to limit our right to protest and to further criminalize dissent. Very on brand for him, very bad for us.
