  1. Too many words but very little action. He said the word “unacceptable” too many times without indicating how he will demonstrate it in practice.

  2. Meh..it’s Toronto, you reap what you sow. Ooh “completely unacceptable “. Well that solves it then

    1. @Puma Logo I will take the Mayor’s job, and repeat “unacceptable” with every speech, and do it for half of Tory’s salary.

    2. @Monica Pushkin I’m sure you would..we all notice when he is confronted by reporters..the look on his face..clueless AF😁

  3. I love Toronto and i took the TTC 7 days a week for many years but the recent uptick in violence is part of the reason why i moved and a definitely a big part of why i wont be back. Which is a shame because i really do truly love that city. Such a shame.

  4. I remember when Tory was in my area of Scarborough…he said the city ( scarborough ) is safe..I yelled at him and said…sure it is with all the security around you goof…

  5. My cousin was assaulted on a TTC bus last week. This city is turning into a garbage fire and I urge everyone to get out if you can.

  6. The Mayor has now debuted the ‘percentage’ justification to transit system violence. So, we must now accept that a certain percentage of transit riders will be murdered, assaulted or terrorized and that’s OK as long as it’s within the allowable percentage (I guess decided by the Mayor and his staff). It may be OK for those who don’t become part of the allowable percentage, not so OK for those who do! Well, now you don’t have to go to an online casino to gamble you will be gambling with your life whenever you get on the transit system.
