Other cities beg for the games to come to their cities, btw everything chow mentioned is nothing to do with the games. It's basically a failed city because people keep voting for amazing mayors 😂
Can we finally admit that there are TOO MANY PEOPLE living in the GTA? There isn't enough housing, transit, etc. Amenities like parks and beaches are always packed. Traffic is a nightmare. Why do we keep building more highrises and making all the problems worse?
What kind of loser looks at a street sign that says "Dundas" and starts thinking about someone named Dundas from over a hundred years ago? To me and to lots of other sensible people, Dundas is just the name of a street, and my mind doesn't go towards thinking about Dundas the person. Also, you can change a street name but that doesn't change what happened in the past, so what is the real point in changing the street name other than wasting money?
Approximately 9 months ago a car hit a lightpost and bikepost near me. About a month ago they replaced the bikepost utilizing shoddy concrete (the bike post could be pushed over if one wished too, as it is not even properly anchored). The lightpost? A year from now? 2? I love to watch this dystopia show its true face.😊
Could have used the $4B plus that is overbudget on the Eglinton LRT Line to pay for some of this other infrastructure. Or maybe don't rename Dundas Sq. Or maybe don't spend millions replacing perfectly good waste bins with new waste bins just because the new waste bin has a slightly larger opening etc etc etc Our politicians from all levels of govt and all parties are the most incompetent people in our country. We have fools running our country.
Could you inform the public why the city of Toronto bought short suddenly? Was the city already broken in previous administration? We pay taxes and we get cutoff the services. If running the city is difficult, should someone can handle it without adding taxes and cutting the service tack over
the city has been broken for decades. all the previous mayors and councillors chose to sweep things under the rug for better publicity. Olivia is pulling back the rug and revealing decades of mess. We are unfixable at this point, we are failed and we will be Brazil in a decade.
My question, after working in new construction for 20 yrs, is what the hell are they doing with all the EXTRA/NEW money coming in from the sale of tens of thousands of new condos every year? I know how much goes to the city for each new sale, and every single new unit pays property taxes...that's a ton of money...where is it going? Government spends money as responsibly as a craxck addict.
"World Class" is made up marketing jargon so real estate agents can make more money. There is no such thing as world class, and if there was, Toronto would have been on the list in the 70s and 80s.
Why most politicians including Olivia Chow always talk about the problems and with no solutions? Most Canadians are already feeling the hardship of putting food on the table everyday. Let us talk about some facts about Canada. According to Canadian Global Affairs Institute dated April 2024, it says, "Canada standing alone as the only country in the then-31-member Alliance not meeting both NATO investment pledges" Canada spent just 1.33 per cent of GDP on defence in 2023. According to Financial Post dated Jan 03, 2024: Canada’s personal tax rates are amongst the highest on Earth. According to Statista dated Feb 2, 2024, Canada has one of the lowest population densities in the world. More facts: So far, there are no extraordinary mega structures built or being built in Canada. We do not even have a working submarine that is fit for military services. Even our prime minister's airplane was recently stuck in India because of lacking of maintennance and spare part. What a shame! Most government services have been cut to minimum. Canadians can't even leave messages on their auto-answer phone system. Thousands of people are homeless, with no family doctor, with no dental care, drug addicted, mentally stressed, violent, etc. Can someone ask this very simple question - Where has all the tax money gone?

Buddy, Tory set these things up for us to fail years before Chow even got to this point. We have to pay billions for some soccer games, and that was under Tory’s watch.

If there was a massive backlog from the very beginning, why hasn't the mayor Chow addressed those issues beforehand rather than forcing taxpayers in the City of Toronto to fork out the money in which they can't afford. Why doesn't the mayor hold those accountable! Announce their names coward!
Hry Chow very few are privliled to make near what you do maybe all city hall and you could take a pay cut to help as most of us are drained to the max.
Stop renaming streets, bring open biddings and look for other efficiencies and urge the feds to control immigration. That comes first before looking for other solutions.
Bring a Vegas style casino and complex to downtown Toronto..........Put Toronto on the map. Toronto is a concrete city stuck in 70s and run poorly by greed politicians.
The condo developers are running this city, making millions and not paying their share of infrastructure costs. How in the world can so many of these projects by constructed, with the city crying poor every year? These condos have added 100's of thousands of people to the downtown area over the last 20 years, but the city must provide all local services, parks, roads, etc. And the Province is not keeping up with funding for Hospitals, and schools for this increased population, a total failure in leadership. I wouldn't let one more condo tower be built until they squeeze more money out of these developers.
Approx $54M a week is needed every month for ten years… good luck.
And yet we have to spend billions for the stupid soccer games. John Tory really f’ed up Toronto right up its ass.

Instead of wasting money to rename Dundas Square the 12 million could have been put to better use.

Lol, after covid downtowns will never be the same. But toronto voted for Tory and chow. Lol you get what you vote for
Tory and Miller and Lastman
The city should Audit those 3.3B Dólares and see why they are so high. Then, bring them down so you can find a better way to deal with these costs.
all that money is in useless and overpaid public sector employees.

She twitches so much the camera cant focus on her.
Chow is fixing the city, moron.
One of the most expensive places to live in Canada & the mayor just admitted it’s falling apart. Ok then.
oh, first time in a capitalist economy?
Is Toronto still regarded as world class?? Is canada still an advanced economy??

they are already rich that’s why.
Stop donating our $$$$$$$$$$$$ overseas
wrong video, need to post this to Trudeau videos 😂
That's only like $10k dollars per person over 10 years. What's the big deal? Tax Torontonians!!!
why do we pay taxes if we are not getting what we pay for?
Maybe rename roads and pay for fifa to visit.
Say no to women's leadership
O yes Oliva keep wasting money on changing street names. This is Toronto alone facing $26billion. 26Billion you can rebuild a country of 39million.

She and her lefty commissars will ream the proletariat, but goood!
Keep begging the federal and provincial governments also raise the property tax enjoy socialism
Diversity is our strength, let's keep spending money on renaming streets to fix this. Ask JT, the budget should balance itself.
Chow on that Toronto
Good thing were hosting the scamcup soccer tournament
Well you better raise taxes and stop crying to the Federal government for tax dollars from Canadians who don't even live in the same province.

These people waste our money and want more now
Really...😂
Unreliable TTC shut it down.
😂 she seems to be also the same fish from PM inspite of 150 dollars raise in our property taxes. There is an infrastructure maintenance shortage
Too many $ go to the wrong causes.

Seriously you need an operation overhaul, if India can send a space fleet including technology satellites to the moon for 75M , and you asking for 26B

Well... who voted her? Torontonian...🤣
And yet they want to waste money renaming dundas sq and dundas station and dundas st. Shortfall but lets waste money for the few vocal woke people.
