Today, I’m asking for your help. Unlike right-wing groups backed by the wealthy and well-connected, our work depends on dedicated supporters across the city. Supporters like you.

A few generous Progress Toronto donors are matching all Giving Tuesday donations up to $14,500. That means if you give just $25 today, your donation will be doubled to $50. Donate here:  https://donorbox.org/progresstoronto-double-your-impact-2025

Join Progress Toronto on Saturday, November 22 at the National Housing Day Rally in Toronto. March with us as we push back against Ford’s plans to make it easier to evict renters in Bill 60.

RSVP here

Doug Ford’s government is pushing new legislation (Bill 60) that would make it easier for landlords to evict renters and make finding an affordable place to live even harder. Join us to let renters know how Bill 60 impacts them and help them tell their MPP to protect their rights as renters. 

We need our city officials to stand up for renters and demand real protections. On November 4, city councillors and Mayor Chow will discuss how they will respond to Ford's attempt to strip away renter’s rights. Progress Toronto will be helping people speak directly to city council.

Doug Ford’s government is pushing new legislation that would make it easier for landlords to evict renters. Tell Premier Doug Ford, Minister Robert Flack, and your MPP to cancel any changes that make evictions easier, and to protect and expand rent-control.

Leaders Demand Canadian Government Pay its Bill for Refugee Shelter Funding
Monday, September 29, 8:30 AM | City Hall, 100 Queen Street West, Toronto

(TORONTO) — Right now, 3,420 refugees—40% of all clients in Toronto’s shelter system—depend on city shelters. Despite this urgent need, the Canadian  government has slashed Toronto’s funding for refugee shelters by $107 million, a 74% rollback of federal support. Read more here.

Doug Ford announced plans to ban speed cameras—making it easier to speed and putting lives at risk.

Hospitals and police chiefs agree: speed cameras save lives. They reduce speeding, prevent crashes, and protect communities. And because many are in school zones, they keep kids safe on their way to class.

Ford dismisses them as a “cash grab.” But you don’t pay if you don’t speed. So why is he risking kids’ lives just to make it easier for reckless drivers to break the law?
