“I feel like a TTC ambassador,” he said Sunday, before setting up his large cello for a solo performance inside Bloor transit station. From his view on the sidelines, there has been a slow erosion in confidence over 10 or so years — until COVID. Then things really tanked.When musicians were kicked off TTC property by pandemic restrictions, homeless people moved in, and now that riders and musicians are back, they don’t want to leave, Zhang said. Many bring baggage from addiction, mental health and poverty with them, which he sees as root problems.
The chief announced an immediate increase of 80 police officers on high-visibility TTC patrols, pulled from his off duty ranks and paid overtime wages so other frontline needs aren’t jeopardized, he said. The TTC is making supervisors more visible, cameras are being added, and more Streets to Homes workers brought in.
A subway train is the urban leveller, where people from all realms and circumstance find themselves cheek by jowl, or butt cheek to butt cheek. Whatever they’re dealing with outside the station comes in with them — mental illness, abrasive personality, addiction, homelessness, privilege, poverty, anxiety, racism, aggression, entitlement, bad mood, stress, fear.
“Most people aren’t going to do something criminal right in front of a police officer, but you might have just pushed it elsewhere. Hotspot policing tends to just relocate things. It’s not addressing the problem.”Article content
This is what happens when u take away guns. An armed society is a polite society 🤣
What does that make Trudeau? The Joker? And who is Batman?
No worries. Like Gotham, our greatest leader has no problem dressing up in black
Oh no. Only the police can save us. Take all our money
a life event,..a death event,...eventually your choice
You have been culturally diversified now.
Bring back carding
Psssssst! Here’s a clue.
Vote Liberal and your voting for more crime.
Thank Trudeau and all the Liberals for their soft on crime policies. GTA is as bad as Detroit.
Just like shitcouver. This is Justin's world.
National Post has lost its mind. That’s what happens when journalism becomes about clickbait, and not actually educating the masses or a bulwark for democracy. The Post used to be relevant. Its become a joke and megaphone for authoritarianism.
It’s a toilet
Welcome to the worldview of the leftists, the culture of death.
like all leftist cities its a shithole
Holy shit, somebody had better take control of this country.
How are these 15min cities going to work if no one wants to live near where they work because its to dangerous.
Simple why this is happening. Once they stopped carding, woke ideology and safe injection sites= this is what we get.
Toronto isn't referred to as 'the big stink' because it is a pleasant place.
The huge spike in violence comes with the rapid immigration numbers from countries where violence is common. Only going to get worse. SeanFraserMP
Japanese cities are incredibly safe and clean. I wonder what they are doing differently over there...
Cops might have to do something other than count their money and cheat on their wives.
We need race based crime statistics. Censored one sided stats have been nefariously used against the police to allege racism and cripple them. We need to let police, police again. Kick the woke activists out of politics and the justice system.
We need Batman
Vancouver has been dealing with this for years. Dont worry though it is being fixed by decriminalising drugs.
Trudeauscanada
We need a batman to stand up against the fatman.
We need Batman
When we create and or allow ghettos and enclaves to form where the disenfranchised and or malcontents go from voice to illegal action without penalties. Where we cannot institutionalise the mentally ill for the safety of themselves and the public.
And they will keep voting LIEberal.
Of course. The inmates are running the asylum. Pillowy soft politician’s like Tory are beholden to woke ideology, first and foremost. Crime statistics are racist in their eyes.
PUT A CALL OUT TO BATMAN
Obviously all you have to do is confiscate firearms from all the legal gun owners...
Blame Trudeau and all the Liberal voting muppets. TrudeauMustGo
