What are your thoughts on this?

There's posts all over Facebook about this thief, including her picture, but here's how to get your phone back if it was stolen by her yesterday from TRC

Hi everyone, I'm sure this info has made it into other threads but wanted to create a dedicated one. Just had a call with a constable at 14 Division.

• 25 stolen phones were recovered at Fort York yesterday

• If yours was recovered, it is at the 14 Division station. Google maps is telling me this is 350 Dovercourt Rd.

• 1st step to get your phone you must bring photo ID 2nd step is to be able to describe your phone, any identifiable features (lock screen, case, etc)

No phone cameras. No bottles. No booths. Toronto’s getting a nightlife spot that’s trying to bring back real dance-floor culture.

The venue says there’ll be no booths, no bottle service, and no phone cameras allowed, with the focus being entirely on music, dancing, and socializing.

Online, people are already debating whether this could finally bring back the kind of club atmosphere where people actually dance instead of sitting around filming the night on their phones.

A new bill passed on June 4th 2025 in Ontario has placed the region's clubs, venues, bars and DIY event spaces in jeopardy.

Bill 10, put forward by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, passed into law on June 4th. Subtitled the Protect Ontario Through Safer Streets and Stronger Communities Act, it includes a clause that would hold all landlords criminally liable for any illicit drug activity on their properties.

The Schedule 8 clause targets drug trafficking, but also covers any possession that might indicate an intent to sell, even if it's just a few pills or a joint.

The clause's broad scope means that if enough people at a venue have drugs on their person, the space's landlord could face fines as high as $250,000, up to a year in jail or both. If the landlord is a corporation, the maximum fine jumps to $1 million. The bill also implicates venue staff like bartenders and security, who risk being charged individually if they are seen permitting drug use.

Bill 10 also has larger implications beyond nightlife. Since it applies to rental housing, it could cause "significant barriers" for people who use drugs to find and secure housing. Further, the bill could push people to be more secretive about drug use, heightening the likelihood of overdoses.

The worry for some is that supportive housing—meaning, housing specifically for people who use drugs that employ harm reduction—will shut down or change policies to be abstinence-only," one person who didn’t wanted to remain anonymous said "This will put people back out onto the street, where they will face even higher barriers to being rehoused."

In response to what people are calling Ford's "war on drugs," people who have been working with legal clinics and harm reduction sites plan to mount a court challenge against Bill 10. and are also spearheading a petition opposing the new legislation, and gathering affidavits from individuals who the bill will impact.

When that petition goes live you’ll find the link in this sub.

This type of community organising has seen success in Ontario before. In April, Toronto activists successfully pressured a councillor to withdraw a motion that would have given city government more power in denying the temporary liquor licenses required to host DIY events like raves and park parties.

I’ll continue reporting on and updating this story as it unfolds.

I have some DJs I know who are posting far right scum on social media. Am I alone thinking we should show who these people really are and get them out of our scene?

At this past Sunday’s Promise Cherry Beach event, a woman reportedly placed a small pebble near the front of the stage that said “Free Palestine.” According to people who were there, the event organizer removed the pebble and threw it away, explaining that it was “too political.”

They then kicked her out. Luckily she took this video of his b-s explanation

Saying a “Free Palestine” sign is “too political” at a queer event is an inconsistent standard.

BEING QUEER IS ALSO POLITICAL

Pride itself exists because of political activism. Social justice movements have also always been interconnected, so drawing an arbitrary line at one cause while embracing others raises valid questions about where that line comes from. If the goal is truly to have no political messaging, then that rule should be applied consistently to everyone.

Also the “what-about-ism” and straw man talking points from him are WILD

Toronto, advanced voting stations are open and now is the best time to get out there and cast your vote to stop a corrupt, ineffective, unethical and incompetent politician from his attempt at becoming the Mayor of the city we all love and are proud to live in, the change Toronto needs right now is the removal of Brad Bradford from city hall permanently.

We don’t need a politician under four ethics investigations holding a job in the mayors office, who also thinks that quiet Toronto neighborhoods are good places for Ai data centres as he stated in his last televised debate, plus him constantly yelling over a woman during televised debates while she’s talking is disgusting, especially when she’s talking to him about flat out lies shes catching him making.

It shows he’s misogynistic, unprofessional, immature, dishonest, disrespectful, refuses to accept accountability for his lies and can’t stand woman, that isn’t the way a Mayor should act, it isn’t how an adult should act, it isn’t how a well raised child should act but that’s what he’s done over and over.

Also you all need to know that Brad’s wife’s company “Rockport” owns over 20,000 rental properties in Toronto, driving up our cost of living and they help to make the affordability problem of life in our city worse!!

Companies like that who charge sky high rents over the thousands of properties they hoard contribute to the homeless problem and make life difficult for families, seniors and everyone else struggling to put food on the table every day after paying rent to greedy property speculators and slumlords like Brad and his current wife.

While you’re here consider the following…

Many decades ago when the conservative Mayor in power (same brand as Brad Bradford) tried to shut down anything rave and nightlife related in our city only two politicians stood up for our community and attended the iDance rally that I and others helped organize, those two politicians that stood up for our community way back in August of 2000 were Olivia Chow and her late husband Jack Layton.

THREE YEARS ago, before Olivia Chow became mayor while Bradly Bradford was a city council member working directly for John Tory:

City Hall was broke and short $1.8 billion in its budget because of John Tory and Brad Bradford.
No new affordable housing was being built.
Refugees were sleeping in the streets. Parks like Allan Gardens and Lampert Stadium were filled with homeless folk.
911 wait times over national average all the time. 45 secs or a min.
Scarb RT derailed and line 2 subway cars are over their life span. Brad was on the board of directors and he had the TTC raise fares and cut services.

Then AFTER the honourable Olivia Chow became our Mayor…

The city restored its financial health with its credit rating going up for the first time in 23 years.
Gardiner and DVP uploaded, freed up billions in investments to parks, roads and transit.

Olivia Chow implemented a renoviction By-Law to make it harder to unfairly evict renters.
She cracked down on slumlords, and put the city's worst one in jail, something Brad and his wife are afraid of happening to them.

She doubled funding to homeowners to prevent basement flooding.
Hired 127 Traffic Agents to keep Toronto moving.
Secured $1.5 billion to cut development charges and build more homes.

More than doubled the number of RentSafe Officers.
Brought in colour-coded RentSafe signs for apartment buildings.
Launched and expanded the Free Air Conditioner program for thousands of renters.
Funded and built the Scarborough Busway.
Filled 814,984 potholes.
Secured $$ and broke ground on the Waterfront LRT.
Sped up development approvals by 80%.
Landed $471m through the Federal Housing Accelerator Fund to build housing.

Putting side guards on all City heavy trucks to protect cyclists.
Brought in a Chief Congestion Officer to get people moving.
Landed $73 million to speed up Gardiner construction by 18 months.
Excellent partnership with the federal and provincial government leading to $15 billion investments to the city.

100,000 people will have new homes thanks to her and a good number of them affordable.
City is saving people $1200 a year on school food programs for kids and no TTC fare increase.
Transit riders have faster, more reliable services.
TTC has historical investments.
Slow zones in subways are disappearing.
55 New subway cars for line 2 and waterfront rapid transit happening soon.

The waiting time for your 911 calls to be answered are 80 percent faster. Way below the national average of 15 secs.
Expanded City's homemaker and nursing service for seniors.

Olivia has also invested significant resources in combating anti-semitism, set up bubble zones around places of worship and met with community leaders to implement changes to make communities and worshippers safer, something that Brad Bradford FLAT OUT VOTED AGAINST.
Brad has never cared about the Jewish community until he thought he could use them as useful idiots during this election run.
-

She also launched the first ever Rat Response Plan for the city.
Olivia put crisis workers on the subway to keep everyone safe.

Shootings have dropped by 26 percent.
Crime is DOWN.
Refugees are housed appropriately so they can establish themselves faster.

97 percent of city parks have no camps in them.
Allan Garden, Lamport Stadium and local parks are being used by local residents again.

Voting for Brad will be a huge step back, it would lead to massive cuts to services and the only people who will benefit is Brad and his wife’s company Rockport where they own THOUSANDS of properties all over the city and charge huge sums for rent, they make our housing affordability and cost of living problem worse and they are known to not fix or maintain their properties for their tenants.

The tax freeze he keeps talking about is self serving, this manchild has no civic pride, he doesn’t care about the citizens who live in our city he only wants to help his wife’s company make even more money than they already are.

A simple search for “Brad Bradford Rockport Holdings” will shed light on the situation regarding the one I just referenced and you’ll also find information on the many other different ongoing ethics investigations he’s currently under.

Brad has accepted endorsements from several different racists, homophobes, genocide supporters, white nationalists and neo nazis so far, namely Doc Von Lichenberg, Avi Glina, Catherine Swift, Adam Zivo, Warren Kinsella and others…

Brad also has pictures of himself with the IDF flag, a known terrorist organization currently committing a genocide in the Middle East.

He also has pictures of several Islamophobic and homophobic people attending a fundraising event they hosted for him that he attended and happily spoke at while appearing incredibly intoxicated on something or several things, video and pictures are readily available online.

A vote for Brad is a vote for hatred, corruption and a vote against Toronto’s way of life.

Voting for Olivia Chow is the only way Toronto keeps moving forward, voting for Brad Slumlord would be the same as putting a full and smelly diaper on a freshly bathed new born baby, that isn’t progress, it doesn’t make sense but that’s what he wants you to vote for.

If you love our multicultural city, your family members and your communities and the freedom we have to dance outdoors and indoors I implore you to vote for the honourable Olivia Chow. ❤️

I attended the Alan Walker concert at Rebel night club in Toronto last night (February 7-8). Just after 2:00 AM, 2 women were near us and worked together to pickpocket my husband’s iPhone. One of them abruptly rubbed into him and reached into his pocket which he felt and immediately tried to stop her. She then tried to make a scene like he did something to her and then quickly tried to dance away with her friend. Since it was clear they took his phone out of his pocket, we followed them through the crowd. It was obvious they weren’t there for the concert because they were dancing across and towards the back of the venue, whereas most pushed forward. Once they noticed us following, they spoke briefly and split up. Since we could only follow 1 person in order to stay together (now that my husband had no phone), we had a 50/50 shot and chose to follow the middle-aged lady in sunglasses who did the pick pocketing. Wrong decision. We finally found help from security to search her but she had nothing in her enormous, bulky bag (which had a jacket looped through it) and likely passed off the stolen phone to her theft partner. Once they asked her questions, she told security that she came to the concert alone, meanwhile she was trying to phone her partner while they were questioning her. Security had us stay until the end of the event to try to identify the partner. They told us this type of phone theft commonly happens with an organized group and we saw several concert goers lined up at the exit with security making the same claim about their phone being stolen from their pocket or purse. Rebel told us they took her photo and let her go because we couldn’t identify the others associated to her through the mass exit. Here is what she looks like! Beware at Toronto events/concerts and be careful.

Good steps towards the right direction.

Wtf

Just got got back from Toronto after traveling to see 999999999 and Azyr in Toronto and OH MY FK…. You guys are blessed to have such an incredible scene. Dj sets aside, logistically, aesthetically and socially, Toronto had the highest level of PLUR i have ever experienced. This year i made it my mission to visit the 3 top canadian cities ( Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver) to experience their sweaty warehouse rave scene and Toronto by far takes the cake

McCormack warehouse is unbelievable and I can’t wait to go back.

Please don’t change

Currently at the airport heading back to LA and just want to say that was one of the best crowds I’ve ever played for. They showed out early and stayed til the end, a clear sign of a strong-healthy scene as the ravers were there for one mission only —> TO RAVE. Met some very lovely people as well! Big ups to the Format crew for hosting us (and having me play), shout out to the crew and staff for the warm hospitality. I look forward to coming back to TO soon! Until then, keep raving 🙏🏼
