Banning cell phones in Toronto’s schools was so 2007. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
The day will come.
Toronto and the GTA has a large and vibrant Sikh community. Today is Khalsa Day, during which thousands of people walk in a remarkable parade and take part in Seva- selfless, voluntary service, in the Gurdwara and throughout the community. It is a truly beautiful experience.
Enjoying coffee with good friends back at the Rustic Bakery this morning was the perfect way to start the day. It’s the kind of place where you always see people you know, and they’re excited to see you. There’s a really beautiful sense of community here in York South-Weston.
James, you were a wonderful MC. It was a sincere pleasure to join you, @MayorOliviaChow and so many leaders of our city’s Jewish community to celebrate Passover. Let’s keep working together to bring our city together. Chag Pesach Sameach to you and your family.

I’m so proud of my daughter. Molly chose to focus her school STEM project (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) on William P. Hubbard, the first Black member of Toronto city council and inventor of the Hubbard portable oven!
The Astral contract should be dumped at the earliest opportunity like the garbage their “street furniture” has been. Toronto deserves better.
A problem with the Ford government is that acting with “limited information” has either been the cause, or the contrived excuse, of many really bad decisions.
This new project near Yonge and Eglinton is genuinely exciting. The architecture is beautifully designed. And just wait until they release renderings of the new public space! It’s remarkable for our community and city- like bringing Rockefeller Center to midtown Toronto.

Chag Pesach Sameach to everyone who will be sitting at the Seder Table this evening. This has been a very difficult year for the Jewish community with the October 7th massacre, abduction of hostages & rise in antisemitism. We come together to celebrate freedom and pray for peace.
Despite the challenge of getting around on crutches, @JILLSLASTWORD showed up for community events this weekend, the way she always tries to. She has my respect.

I’m delighted that the TTC & CUPE Local 2 have arrived at a tentative agreement. It shows that if negotiations are done in good faith, a fair deal can be possible. Strike action has been avoided. I very much hope that it’s ratified by both the union & TTC board when we next meet.
It was a heartfelt honor to join our city’s Armenian community today, as we do every year, to commemorate the Armenian Genocide and remember between 1915-1923, the persecution, deportation and 1,500,000 innocent people who were murdered and marched to their deaths.
It was a pleasure to join @dontmesswthedon for their annual Earth Day celebration and cleanup at ET Seaton Park today. Always such a massive and successful event! And great to see my friend MPP @stephaniebowman out working hard for her community.
I enjoyed supporting a community clean up with Friends of Cedarvale Park yesterday. And this morning, my family and I joined Councillor @DianneSaxe and local residents to help clean the ravine along Yellow Creek! It feels so good to get our parks and ravines ready for Spring!
I had a conversation with a woman named Rose at a seniors’ community housing building today. I asked about her family and she replied she had “no one”, that she lost everyone she loved back in Armenia. As she said that, her neighbors sitting nearby declared, “we are your family”.
Working on a motion…
Being the father of an 11 year-old daughter has taught me a lot about some very passionate and growing communities in our city, including Swifties, Livvies and Crybabies (Earthlings). Diversity our Strength.
I deeply value the work that the over 650 electrical skilled trades workers who dedicate their expertise to serve Toronto’s transit riders every day. I support arriving at a fair deal, achieved in good faith, between the TTC and CUPE Local 2.

@JoshMatlow Your daughter is going to accomplish so much in life! Yes, you are one proud papa!
Congratulations Molly.
I’m so proud of my daughter. Molly chose to focus her school STEM project (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) on William P. Hubbard, the first Black member of Toronto city council and inventor of the Hubbard portable oven!
@JoshMatlow His son, Frederick Langdon Hubbard (1878–1953) worked for the Toronto Street Railway from 1906 to 1921, and served as the chair of the TTC from 1929 to 1930, vice-chair in 1931 and a commissioner from 1932 to 1939.
I wish all my Jewish friends who are gathering for Passover tonight, Chag Sameach. The celebration of this #Passover specifically is a reminder of the importance of community and resilience in the face of persecution and uncertainty. Today, it rings even more true.
Two of my favourite people!
Despite the challenge of getting around on crutches, @JILLSLASTWORD showed up for community events this weekend, the way she always tries to. She has my respect.
Thank you @JoshMatlow for your kind words! We've got a pretty incredible community. Lucky us😊. #tostpauls
It was an honour to stand with friends and colleagues as we commemorate the 109th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The first Genocide of the 20th century, where 1.5 million Armenian lives perished in the death marches of the Ottoman Empire. May we never forget! @ANCToronto
@JoshMatlow @ANCToronto @JonBurnside_DVE @MayorOliviaChow @nickmantas_ Always an honour to have you with us, thank you 🙏🏻
@JoshMatlow Fourplexes are such a simple effective step in the right direction.....they won't solve the problem but they are clearly a part of the solution.

So much fun! Joined @JoshMatlow and folks at Montgomery Place Supportive Housing to celebrate spring and Easter. @toseniorhousing helps house nearly 15,000 moderate and low-income seniors across the city.
We are horrified to learn of an attack at the Kehillat Shaarei Torah synagogue in North York. We urge law enforcement to fully investigate and ensure that the culprits for this cowardly and disgusting attack are brought to justice.
