Strangely enough the core of the city has become "Whiter" due to the redevelopment of Regent Park, Don Mount, Alexandra Park and other public housing rat holes. A lot of that flotsam has been pushed out to Ajax and Brampton. In that sense...parts of the downtown have become slightly better, others worse (Sherbourne, Dundas corridors due to Tory's refusal to bulldoze homeless encampments).

Overall, a mixed bag. Some areas of Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke have declined, but as someone who grew up in the Jane-Finch corridor during the late 70's and early 80's, that area has been strangely consistent over the past 40 years. The recent subway extension and Finch West LRT might finally gentrify parts of Downsview. I'm hearing New Toronto and Mimico are better than they used to be, and the old Italian/Portuguese bungalow belts of North York are still pretty solid. But I do agree...a lot of personality in the downtown has vanished in the past 15 years.

This is the way. Otherwise you're basically a canoe up against the Titanic at this point.

If you're wealthy enough to live along the "spine" of the Yonge and Avenue Road corridors, a few areas along the Bloor line, and some of the - increasingly rare - pockets of Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York that are stable, then Toronto works for you. Otherwise it largely doesn't.

"Public Health Units" have more or less become woke, weaponized bureaucracies, the tip of the spear in enforcing ever-more laughable "policies" as barely-disguised ideological crusades. Where Public Health used to concern itself with city sanitation and proper garbage disposal and making sure restaurants didn't recycle used food they are now the platform for power-mad zealots who don't see the need for trifles like democratic accountability to get in their way.

Like the "215 bodies" at the "mass grave"...yeah, something is afoot here. If the past year has taught me anything, it's not to discount any theory, no matter how outlandish.

Yeah, that to me was a turning point that said to me Canada is really codifying - in both practice and in black-letter law - a form of tiered, race-based anarcho-tyranny in this country.

You've just described Canada's current legal system. People don't realize just how far left the Canadian legal establishment has become, it filters all the way down from judges' training modules, to Law Society seminars, law school curricula and hiring decisions at firms and government ministries.

They're too busy throwing bags of trash off their balconies into the Don Valley below. It's gotten so bad a group called Don't Mess With the Don has to conduct monthly clean-ups of the entire area. But of course they don't mention who's responsible...

Ryerson "profs": translation, fourth-rate diversity hire mediocrities pontificating gibberish to gullible twits too stupid to get into York or U of T.

The academic literature is already there, and various media are already hinting at it, it just hasn't seeped into the mainstream yet. Once the last WWII vets are gone that "politeness" will slip away and politicians not wearing the poppy will be the new standard. I won't be surprised if by 2025 that tradition will be dead and gone. Poppies will morph into the new MAGA caps.

Both Trudeau and Biden made no mention of D-Day on their social media. We're kind of already there.

Facts really don't matter at this point. The elite of this country is under the spell of a cultish brainwashing where cultural self-hatred is the only lens through which they view reality.

His advocacy in 1969 for the White Paper on assimilation is actually pretty solid grounds for his "cancellation" based on current woke mental gymnastics. I mean, what's good for the goose etc. etc.

More common than you think at unis. She's just stupid enough to say it publicly and have it recorded. I can tell you that this kind of thinking is endemic in universities and, especially, their unions (CUPE, UTFA, etc.).

Won't make it any less of a joke of a "university" churning out largely unemployable, mediocre and third-rate half wits.

And you'll be on HR's radar, and the first rule of HR is to assume they're out to screw employees, not the employer.

The provincial law society should have links to employment lawyers, which, as a start, might help.

Lawyer up, that sounds on its face to be, at best, inappropriate and at worst illegal to the point where the management of that company can be sued.

Misandry and anti-White male discrimination is rampant in the Ontario Public Sector, almost as much as nepotism is as the example of that grifter Indian IT family demonstrates.

A reminder that the Assembly employs a full-time staff of about dozen librarians and researchers (most making 90k, managers above that) who do literally nothing throughout the year when the House isn't sitting. If people knew the bloat and waste in just that one department you'd get calls to blow the place up.
