Our veterans have taken care of us by keeping the peace, protecting our country and defending our freedoms. Together, we have a responsibility to take care of them. This week, I’m asking council to help ensure when our heroes come home, they always have a home to come back to.

Having a local neighbourhood cafe contributes to a sense of community. A local grocer or convenience store nearby supports a walkable and livable city. I’m moving this motion to allow for this opportunity in communities that would welcome it. It’s time to lead.

The North York Harvest Food Bank doesn’t only help residents struggling with food insecurity. They empower people to get involved and change lives. I was delighted to visit their remarkable new facility today and learn more about the critical work they do. I’m proud to support them.

This evening I joined our city’s Armenian community for a solemn vigil to remember the lives displaced, and the lives lost, during the horrific 44 Day Artsakh War.

I’m calling on the City, TTC and Metrolinx to work together, and to learn from the Word Series Game 7 failure, to ensure that Toronto is ready to welcome visitors during the FIFA World Cup- and that residents are able to get around their own city. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

When its snows, Torontonians need a winter city that is safe and accessible. The snow needs to be actually cleared from both our sidewalks and roads. The communications from City Hall need to be honest and transparent. And most importantly, the job needs to get done.

I absolutely love and appreciate the community-focused work led by Jenni King Feheley and her team at St. Michael and All Angels Church. I was delighted to help with funding for a new Homework Club to support kids with their studies, and give them a place where they belong.

I enjoyed the Little Jamaica Night Market and was happy to support an event that transformed a parking lot into a place for creativity and community. There were a lot of heavy hearts there thinking of loved ones in the Caribbean. Please donate to hurricane relief efforts to help people in Jamaica.

Toronto needs to act like a big global city. The World Series was a major event, and it was embarrassing how it was handled. I’m calling on the City, TTC and Metrolinx to be better prepared, and own up to mistakes, before we host the FIFA World Cup.

This post by the City of Toronto was really bad. And even worse, both Metrolinx and the TTC really should’ve been prepared for the possibility of a late game to avoid leaving thousands of people stranded. I’ll be raising this at tomorrow’s TTC board meeting.

In so many of our city’s neighborhoods, there’s a group of amazing residents who come together and put on pumpkin parades. I’ve had a fun evening visiting several of them. Thank you to the organizers- you help create community, and make life a little more magical for all of us.

Our city’s 1st responders are working tonight to keep our kids safe on Halloween. I called in about massive branches that could fall imminently at Wilfrid & Oswald. Police & Fire are here. These guys are so great, local kids are coming out to give them candy! I’m really grateful.

A while back, my 12 year-old daughter Molly told me that for the first time, I’m no longer invited to walk with her and her friends for trick-or-treating. Not because she doesn’t love me, I’m just too embarrassing. It was hard to hear. But then…the World Series. Have fun kids!

I joined Dan Seljak for a coffee at a neighborhood cafe (that would currently be banned from opening in Toronto) to discuss how local retail like this, along with grocers and convenience stores, contribute to our quality of life.

The Allen & Eglinton is horribly planned-where an expressway meets a main street. Traffic infiltrates nearby neighborhoods so badly it’s dysfunctional, unsafe & unfair. I’m asking the City to move forward with a plan to improve its design for both local residents & commuters.

Some heroes don’t wear capes- but they do carry @BlueJays flags. Meet Frank the crossing guard, who protects local kids crossing at Logan and Withrow in the heart of Riverdale. People like Frank help create safe, fun and vibrant communities. #GoJaysGo

Doug Ford‘s retreat on this controversial idea shows why we must keep fighting him on housing. Please read my column in the The Toronto Star: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

While Doug Ford focuses attention on controversial ads, and distractions like pouring Crown Royal along with other gimmicks, he’s quietly dismantling rules meant to keep our elections free, fair & with limits on influence peddling. He’s put his own interests before our democracy.

Together, we fought back hard against a monstrous proposal that would’ve made life much less affordable and secure for so many Ontarians- and the Ford government capitulated. This is good news for renters across our province.
