Notable quotes

“Toronto feels especially unsafe for Jews. There's been regular news about targeted assault, arson, bomb threats and the blockade of a Jewish neighbourhood. But is it actually worse here than elsewhere? Let's look at the data...”
— Jesse Brown [via a X] (Jan 11, 2024)
“It is not squalid like Birmingham, or cramped like Canton, or scattered like Edmonton, or sham like Berlin, or hellish like New York, or tiresome like Nice. It is all right. The only depressing thing is that it will always be what it is, only larger, and that no Canadian city can ever be anything better or different. If they are good they may become Toronto.”
— Rupert Brooke (1913)
“Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.”
— Aleister Crowley, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley (1970)
“The foreign laborers described incidents of false promises, which included documentation, quality of housing, their work hours, and their pay. They also described living in deplorable conditions with dozens of people sleeping on mattresses on the floor, a lack of food, a lack of privacy and bug infestations”
— Det. Sgt. Gary McBride according to Police rescue 64 Mexican nationals from 'deplorable' alleged human trafficking ring in Toronto-area by Chris Fox (Updated March 3, 2023 9:56 a.m. PST Published March 3, 2023 9:02 a.m. PST)
“Last night I Had a dream about Toronto. I was on my bicycle, cruising about in front of the old house. And, as usual in my dreams, I was a little girl again. A little girl in Toronto, with long golden curls.”
— Mary Pickford, in an interview with the Toronto Telegram (22 June 1968)
“Despite recent progress, urban growth continues to put pressure on local biodiversity. The number of people using the city’s natural system is increasing; invasive species are displacing native plants and animals; and a changing climate is affecting the life cycles of many species and negatively impacting the ability of our natural areas to provide ecosystem services.”
