Some drivers may be feeling on edge as Toronto is dealing with a rash of violent carjackings targeting mostly high-end vehicles.

Mayor John Tory is asking his federal and provincial government counterparts for help as the city deals with a rash of violent carcjackings that he has likened to a “plague.”

On Friday, Tory sent letters to Ontario Solicitor General Sylvia Jones and Ontario Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy as well as federal Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino and federal Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra seeking their help in addressing the issue. Furthermore, he said that all three levels of government should partner together to explore “upstream solutions,” such as steps that can be taken on the assembly line.

“It's easier than being out in the middle of the night with a computer playing around in somebody's driveway. This is a much simpler way, albeit the car accidents that are showing up are pretty elaborate,” he told CP24 Friday morning. “If you're going to be approached by people who are armed, give it up and let them have the car, it can be replaced. It's just not worth your life trying to protect this vehicle.”

You go soft on criminals with catch and release policies and expect criminals to respect the law?...try working for the Torontonians that elected you instead of being a WEF puppet

Cops busy ticketing car enthusiasts meets.. reallocate your sources...

Liberalism at its finest!

As a mayor is his responsibly to stop this not the provincial or federal government . As chair of the police board he should do something about. Is easy to ask for help instead of taking the responsibility for it. What is the Toronto police doing?

Yep immigration needs to tight it . Many of the cars are being sold overseas

Car thefts in Toronto have increased 52% over last year. Toronto’s mayor won’t rehire police still on leave because of vaccine mandates to deal with the problem. All that matters to the political elite is your submission. They will sit back and watch society descend into mayhem.

Bring back carding

Drive a manual transmission..... You're welcome.

Bring back carding and those thugs will be taken off our streets

How lame is this request? MCC

How about the constant break-ins and smashed window downtown St. Lawrence Market area?

Like gun control, it’s another unpreventable goal! You can’t predict who is going to do what & when.

Open carry will make the problem go away real quick.

Started w LIBERALS and carding. You built the crime machine. You fix it

There is a very simple cure. When a car jacker is arrested they go to jail for ten years with no release. If they car jack again they go to jail for life. Our legal system allows criminals to steal cars and to have guns and knives and use them for crime.

Guess he is incapable of running a city properly

What did you and the government think would happen with a pot shop on every corner. We have drug friendly Federal and Provincial governments, crime is bound to rise!

This is why we should not have NEVER listened to the LEFT and special interests groups pretending to have a cause, but didn't really have good intentions. Keep up the outstanding work Tory. You have done little good for Toronto

rent, homes, food, crime, health care, education, Canada has lost all future and hope

lakecitygirl Don’t they have police in Toronto?

Bring back carding ! It won't stop carjackings but will catch a few more criminals

LOL I know , let more immigrants in !! 😆😆😆 nothing can stop it now.

Who could have foreseen this happening...

Car jackings are an emergency demanding federal intervention but not dead pedestrians and cyclists? Interesting priorities. Does JohnTory represent the auto industry or Torontonians?

How about Toronto manage your own problems. JohnTory is the mayor, you open the door for all these criminals

Maybe their shipping stolen cars to China everything happens 4 a reason so it's not just some ramdom act

Trudeau should just ban carjackings and then double ban them if the ban does not work. Just like handguns.

... Well... isn't that a slap in the face of the Toronto Police Service... Nice to see the mayor has faith in all those officers that serve with them.

Well let's see... already saturated economy + food price + unaffordable housing + S/E loss of jobs due covid + taxes + construction strike + Immigration into a saturated economy + inflation along with the million spent & continues to spend by printing more money!! = PRESENT DAY

It took a toronto superstar to take a hit before the mayor wants to take full action. What about the other 96 ppl

After obliterating all common sense laws, and hard sentences for criminals these left wing, empty headed and corrupt politicians they look to the feds for help. Stop the WOKE agenda and get back to putting these criminals in jail where they belong.

After obliterating all common sense laws, and hard sentences for criminals these left wing, empty headed and corrupt politicians they look to the feds for help. Stop the wine agenda and get back to putting these criminals in jail where they belong.

Keep importing the third world and this is what you get

How about this, just putting this out there....give more tools and help to the police.

No problem, Ontario Liberals, after victorious election will ban firearms and car jacking too.

What's the problem? Anything that discourages car use is great 😃

Politicians got exactly what they asked for when they took the necessary tools to investigate away from the police. Tails wagging the dog now.

Catch and release.... surprised duck hunters aren't taking the blame?

JustinTrudeau your gun ban worked so well to fight gun violence 🙄 maybe you should ban vehicle's that way there is nothing to steal 😂. But for real be smart keep doors locked and pay attention when walking to your car no cell phone no ear buds distracted ppl are easy targets

What's the profile of the typical 'Carjacker'?

Why doesn't JustinTrudeau liberal_party stop the endless containers filled with stolen cars loaded on rail leaving Canada via the ports? Do some Inspections there? Maybe the car manufactures don't want the crime sprees to end... as bad for business. cdnpoli

A direct result of woke liberal policies. And, now they act surprised 🤡

Everyone should be armed! Good people would stop the bad evil in their tracks.anyone who steals cars or breaks into homes should have their hand chopped off as a symbol for would be punk thieves. toughen up the laws or your gonna have Batman save the day

What’s your police force doing? Oh ya, arresting hard working Canadians who decided to protest. Much easier!

Honestly I think Trudeau earns a commission on gun crimes. He's making a killing.

And you're the mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world. Why don't you ask JustinTrudeau to evoke the emergency act, TorontosMayor you are the biggest disappointment this city has.

How is this the government's problem?where are your police?

It’s not the cars they’re after, it’s the fuel. Once the gas is siphoned out at an undisclosed warehouse, the cars are released into the wild.

Yes consequences must be serious !!

Car jacking are just so easy. I won't be surprised if a police officer gets car jacked at some point too for their personal car. Car jacking has become too lucrative

They need to get rid of that young offenders act. These little brats are taking full advantage of it.

Why is there no one on mainstream media explaining where these stolen cars go? I mean we are talking about 2 ton machines that can't just disappear in thin air!

The situation will not only continue. It will keep getting worse and worse. Launch operation 'He was such a good boy.' if you want to see any results. Federal and Provincial govt can't help. Only CitImmCanada can help by not bringing criminals. JohnTory

Liberals are tough on crime...got rid of 5 year minimum for weapons offences oh ya like car jacking with a gun....

5 year min sentence for anyone found carrying a gun. Problem solved.

Do it! We cannot allow these degenerates to turn our peaceful communities into an America city

Defunding the police is always a bad idea

Fearful rhetoric is a good motivator to get the Conservatives in power and crank up the police budget to two billion annually. We’ll all be riding bicycles and eating fiddleheads but at least we’ll be safe.

Its only just now a concern since some high profiles got jacked.........tsit.

ban guns gonna help . look in usa this does not happen there , peopl walk in walmart with gun in there pocket for there own safety .

We should start with a modified form of carding. All this gun violence started when we banned carding.

I wonder if there is a correlation between lack of consequences for crime and an increase in crime. Might want to ask the party working to keep people out of jail because racism

They catch them and they're out on the street in 24 hrs. Our justice system in this country and our judges here have become pathetic.

It’s getting bad….

Highjacked at gunpoint. Will Trudeau’s regime share how these illegal handguns will be taken off the streets. Oh wait, he can’t take guns from criminals just law abiding hard working tax paying Canadians.

Let’s spend more taxpayers money on a perceived threat to our existence embellished by media.

Liberalism weak laws and lollipop sentences. Sunny ways people kind 😂😂😂

This is what happen when people can’t make enough money the honest way and turn to fast money. You have inflation so high people are working for less and less money each year as prices go up and wages don’t match it. Gas prices are only 1 area. Food prices are ridiculous!

John Tory is a seasoned politician...this has nothing to do with what it seems like...

They’re stealing from the rich so something must be done. There are many homeless but what is done to assist them?

How about Toronto police do their jobs and find out who’s in charge of this ring rather than simply busting 16 year old flunkies? Get to the source! That’s your job!

Are Tory and the city not capable of doing ANYTHING without the support of the other governments. Good old do nothing Tory

Well, there is no consequences for anything. What do they expect.🤯

Toronto Police have been systematically divested of their authority and the tools to get deal with this - you and all your liberal cronies have given the criminals free reign.

Hug a thug Toronto.

Is there a pattern at all with who are doing the carjackings?

The problem is the judges and the lawmakers. Crybaby liberals who water down sentences to nothing and bleeding-heart judges who pat criminals on the wrist and send them out to commit indictable offence number six hundred and seventy-three. You want results? Guillotine them.

John Tory's 'Camping In Cars' approach has not been an effective solution for an end to violence during forced evictions at homeless encampments

He’s a Leftist, he needs to look in the mirror. his kind enabled this insanity.

Limpest man in toronto

Bigger deterrent,wow look what they did to people just for supporting the trucker protest ,that used to be a freedom , so catch a thief,take their assets and work jail time not a college (free) education gym membership.

Well, how about thousands of bikes stolen from city and the police does not move at all!

Harsher punishments

Police are too slow. Also the laws need to be amended to give police more authority to access information and resources.

Keep focusing on legal gun owners and ignoring criminals seems to have been a success so far. How can gun crime keep increasing? I guess virtue signaling doesn't work huh?

Embarrassing, isn't it ? Just like having a clown mayor 🤣

Defund the police though 🤪

I think we need to check with BLM ✊🏿 first before making any crazy decisions. Trudeau is a huge supporter as we know…

Lol. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Maybe police should be policing and not social working.

So there have been 93 car jackings in TO already this year, yet wasn't big news until a celebrity gets targeted. Why don't the others matter ?

How about redirecting the assets of the speed trap I just drove by 🤦🏻‍♂️

WHY IS HE RUNNING AGAIN FOR MAYOR? Canada’s biggest city needs a younger energetic ambitious go-getter to fix this city. Not stodgy ole lethargic John Tory. I’ll even support a Bloomberg type mayor-an enterprising city builder who loves great architecture & big business TOpoli

Carjacking ? Do you know what it took to remove some truckers in Ottawa ?

Don't get your hopes up. Feds want to get softer on perpetrators, haven't done anything with the border. The common sense path is if you get caught with gun during a crime you go away for a bit (completely as in locked up). Too many have weapons bans, but are out and having fun!

Bring the death penalty back...

Why would you ask the federal and provincial governments for help. You have one the the best police services in the country. You need to find the resources to allow them to do their jobs. Glad you’re not seeking another term. Grow a set.

Mayor JohnTory needed to speak on these crimes a few years ago. Amazing what happens when a hockey star get carjacked. 😡 Wait til Arnold S talks about the dangerous bad roads & awful cycling infrastructure Toronto has. 😱 Where are the physical barriers? 😱🤷🏼‍♂️ CityPlanTO

This is the beginnings of the evoking of the emergency act 🤪👍🏼😲😉

What Makes me laugh Canadian politics, take ownership!!

Give the police a few Range Rovers and load them with police to drive through the car jacking areas and when a car jacking occurs, shoot them in the face, that will teach the car jackers.. you never know when your going to pick the wrong car

'Mayve install a fartoe-matic, alert systems to stink away stinky wood bee's'.

I'm old enough to remember when police were allowed to stop suspicious ppl and vehicles.. but now that's racist.

JohnTory fordnation JustinTrudeau jamesramertps TPAca Why don’t we tell the citizens driving the high target vehicles locked up in their garages & drive a cheaper, older car instead! Stealing a Lamborghini? What a surprise! 😅😅😅

How about you update the criminal code. 25 years is NOT life.

Wasn't that long ago everyone wanted the police de-funded

What do you suggest they do? Seriously

That’s why we have insurance Do t care Cause I’ll get a new vehicle

Maybe just let TO cops do their jobs.

JohnTory Feds should immediately cease the gun buyback program 4 legally obtained firearms by law abiding, trained citizens and free up tens of millions of $ for strengthening borders and bail reform and 2 to fund your task force. Sadly that doesn’t fit JustinTrudeau narrative

I could leave the keys in my car and no one would steal it.

What do you want them to do JohnTory send the army? TOpoli onpoli

Give everyone a free EV! Lol

Do nothing mayor begs others to do something. 🤣

I guess the farmers, hunters, sport shooters and all other licensed gun owners are graduating to carjackings? I knew they were trouble the moment they had a 45 day RCMP background check.

Start letting citizens carry guns. Let us solve the problem ourselves and save u tax money

The last one close to me was by a guy named Singh. And you're asking Trudeau for help? He's why Toronto has become a s**t hole.

Judiciary is too soft on violent perps. Use of a gun to commit any crime should be a min 10 year bid. Period. No plea bargains, no parole, 10 years of labour in a prison camp not watching movies. It's been the 'wild west' on Toronto streets for years now!

Have they tried asking the bad men to stop, nicely? Perhaps throwing them a party and then attempting to broach the topic over cake?

I hope ppl can finally see how JohnTory operates; he refuses to hear from witnesses and victims, OmbudsmanTO refuses to listen to victims and witnesses and silenced by TOHousing ONPHA and victimized by TorontoPolice for speaking out

'The Situation Cannot Continue' Then tell them to get tougher on crime. 25 years and no parole for armed robbery. End of story.

JustinTrudeau please prioritize Canadian who voted you to become prime minister

Well, a couple years back, Ford was given something like $53ish million from the federal government to fight gangs and guns. That's when he staff started clapping non stop when the media asked him what was done with it.

People are coming out of Jail after 10 years after killing 4, do you really think car thiefs have any fear after knowing this.

Hire back all the police officers you fired 🤷🏻‍♀️

Toronto crime rate is rising high over the years. What have you done to prevent this?

Lol, how about good old policing? Go all out with profiling, carding and full on engaging these gangs!!

Help? Start life in prison for everyone you catch. Life = until your dead. We can expedite their sentences if they request to death.

If you and your police can not do a job then why you sitting in mayor office and making 6 figure paychecks?

Why doesn’t he start a task force in his own city with his own police department, instead of being a suck to the province and feds. weakstock

I’m sure those carjackers must be legal gun owners because turd government is so busy attacking PAL holders

Like handguns just ban legal cars that should fix everything!

Fix the stupid juvenile code. Stop calling thugs with weapons that are 16 or 17 kids and stop treating them like children. Charge them like adults. But than also enforce the penalties and be harsh on them. Prison time.

All those cars are shipped to Middle East and Africa. the ports and containers should be checked.

wondering if there are any studies comparing sanctuary cities crime rates

Time for a new Mayor. Tory has done NOTHING to help solve this. We need new leadership. He can't seem to do the job.

Carjackings happen because “CRIMINAL LAWS ARE A JOKE, JUST LIKE TRAFFIC VIOLATORS “!! SPEEDING LAWS ARE A JOKE AND LICENSE SUSPENSION AND FINES ARE A JOKE!

Let the police actually police.

If you have a right to defend yourself in this country this wouldn’t be happening damn liberals

Why don’t you just try running those people over

Incompetence?

I’m pretty certain they are only stealing the gas. The vehicle will be left at the side of the road unharmed

This is more of a systematic problem. It won't get better if the judge and parole officers always believe in a second chance is what we need

Maybe your police force should stop spending all their time on traffic tickets and do some real police work

These ppl are starving in this province.... they are jacking cars to feed their families. Gas prices, food prices, and housing prices are to blame.... fix those problems & the crime will subside. It goes hand in hand!

That otta work about as much as there help in gun control in Toronto. Millions spent same results

You banned carding. You removed Community Officers from Schools. Wanted Suspects descriptions are no longer given in detail. Easy bail, light sentences, easy parole. All over feelings… You reap what you sow Mr Mayor. The reaping time has only started…

Jonny All this couse of problem is you. When you lock people in for long time, people run out of money In desperate situation people do anything. Imagine carjacker is Chinese Communist party, You probably want to help them out too.

The penalty for murder in this country depends on your ethnicity, financial status, and how good your lawyer is and they wonder why?

Losing control tory...carjacking, shooting not to mention lack of rental units.or affordable rent... When elections come hope you know what matters to toronto

Simple, Ban the sale of High End Vehicles ✔️🇨🇦

Of course he did. It made national news now, there was no question this was going to happen. The problem is that these car jackings are now going to be used by lying liberals and their anti gun cronies to attack legal safe gun owners yet again.

Isn't that his freaking job along with the local, and provincial police! John Tory is as useless as Doug Ford!

Get an Airtag

Grant firearm conceal and carry permits to law abiding citizens 🤠

Deport. Easy peasy

Doesn’t Toronto have a police force?

happening south of the border too, madness is everywhere but the amusing irony is when it happens to US politicians who supported defunding the Police then when they get a taste of what happens when they do, crime increases, they end up calling the Cops, oh the irony!

Two words: Sting operations.

Perhaps if Mr. Trudeau & his gang of political thugs were to spend more time concerned with law & order & less time harassing hunters, sport shooters, & farmers/ranchers, we would not be in this situation.

Citizens of the GTA are getting what they voted for. Why the tears😢?

Don't expect any help from Ford and the safety of Ontarians is the Provincial responsibility but he has shown he does not care. He just wants to pave over all our eco and farm land and ignore our health and well being. He thinks votes will come with pavement.

Maybe if normal people could carry guns, these lawless criminals would think twice before trying to rob someone who would bust a slug in there gangsta asses Gun control is a failed policy.

Hey JohnTory. Maybe you should embrace liberalism a bit more. That should help the crime issue!!!LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

Ignore it until a Toronto Maple Leaf has his car hijacked. Perfect JohnTory. Now you speak out? Agh!

Bring back carding!

SEEMS that like the DNC's in the USA the liberal_party is OKAY WITH VIOLENCE!

If the govt thinks banning guns will solve all gun crime then by logic they should ban all cars to stop all car jackings

How many shootings/killings w/ zero help from TOHousing? Jane Creba? Eaton Centre? U turned out to more dangerous than iamdavidmiller & what does ChrisGloverNDP do for this city? You have ruined cityoftoronto ; you & OntarioNDP soft on guns gangs predators, tough on victims!

Canada lets the criminals in they realize our laws and security levels are a joke so they steal from & terrorize law abiding citizens. We will get a parking ticket for being 5 mins over 😆 Come in take what you put it on a shipping container clearly no ? Asked 👏🏽👏🏽

No surprise here. Toronto has been deteriorating for years Sadly it took a high profile athlete for John Tory to get his act together and do something he should have addressed long ago IMO

Help with car jackings?!? Tell me you can't do even the basics of your job without telling me you can't do even the basics of your job JohnTory.

If CV go

What on earth?!? JohnTory you have invited ongoing violence when you reneged on PROMISES to remove serious repeat offenders making joe_cressy anabailaoTO m_layton TOHousing ; nothing has stopped you from using OPP; what are the Feds supposed to do for you now?

What may need to happen is people will need to carry both emergency trackers like old people have if they fall that will instantly alert police and defensive weapons like mace or stun guns, and learn disarming techniques so they can fight back. Doing nothing is not an option.

What happened to this city? When I was a baby my mom would let me sleep in a crib outside the door. Now it would be reckless. Population grew criminal?

So our billion dollar police force can’t handle it? Are they too busy in tim hortons lineups or parked far in a corner of a parking lot? They say they don’t have time to enforce traffic or find stolen bicycles. They seem to only have time to bash homeless peoples heads.

A lot of the violence in the city has to do with your and city coucillors decisions on policing. Will you be asking for provincial and federal help when gridlock becomes a problem this summer with Cafe TO taking up a lane of traffic on all the major streets in the downtown core?

Well, JohnTory you, and your woke croonies, are the direct cause why Toronto, and other municipalities, have become a nightmare with crime. Now is election year and you have the nerve to come voice your outrages! You're an hipochrite! Go away 🤮🤮🤮

Better defund the police further, go BLM. If that does not work, enforce more woke policies into the police.

This is organized crime , R.C.M.P should be in on it , !

Everyone need the police help when shit hit the fan

is this a joke

You want to end this, how about an automatic 10 year, no parole sentence. Starting age, 16. None of this bs of being protected by the Youth Criminal Act.

Provincial government? Ford is concentrated on blacktop highway

JustinTrudeau fordnation we are in need of your help! Toronto isnt safe anymore this has to stop. we need RCMP CAF to catch this guys seems like Toronto Police cant do it!

All cars in the GTA have to 2011 Corollas from now one. White.

Tiff43821544 A hockey player’s car is stolen and JohnTory pays attention. Before that……

Isn’t guy is the mayor? Don’t we have a shitton of cops and a massive police budget?

We need a new mayor. What has JT done? Spend billions on maintaining a useless chunk of the Gardiner?

Stop being racist and hire marginalized qualified people. People are trying to survive

You mean male entrepreneurs…

You mean our lax country club style dorm prisons are no deterent to stop criminals?

Call the Army.

Fix the problem yourself. You created it.

Wellllll....im certain that the pistols these CRIMINALS are using and being IGNORED by YOU isnt helping

Torys crime city

I pledge to BAN all carjackings as soon as I'm elected. A vote for OntLiberal is a vote for ZERO 'CARS' (unless electric of course) and ZERO 'JACKINGS.' 🌈 onpoli ondebate onelxn ontariovotes sorrynotsorry ontario cdnpoli TheChoiceIsYours

Maybe having police actually fight real crime instead of hiding in bushes waiting for you to pull your phone out at a red light would be a good place to start.

Can we guns off the streets as well

I don't hear about anyone hijacking Honda Civics.

Course you want to show everyone how rich you are, this is what happens. Some people get pissed and some people take advantage.

Back when we hard carding thebm city felt a little safe.

Police presence in Toronto is a joke now. People used to respect the law. Now it's an inconvenience.

Marner gets jacked, it’s headline news and now the mayor wanna step in and do shit about it. This shit been happening for time now. And now he wanna do something. Smh

First i thought this guy was talking about vaccine mandates and masks, travel restrictions etc... now i realize hes talking about car jackings probably only after Mitch Marner became a victim to it. Now the city has your attention. Man F O HHHHHHH .... jump in a lake!

I think Tory needs to check in with Candice Bergen and Poilievre on this. They don't approve of federal assistance being asked for to fight crime.

Wasn't there a solution for this in Robocop?

Toronto is a hole...and getting worse every day

I guess all the Toronto socialist driven gun laws aren’t doing anything to stop shootings and crime eh! Go figure. Tory whose leadership all but neutered the police, while also ensuring thugs can now easily carry illegal weapons. Society now pays the price for council stupidity.

So many cars could be saved if only Toronto had its own police force with a $1.1 billion dollar budget.

Maybe he should declare a ‘Stop Carjacking Day.’ Surely that would fix it?

How is this a provincial and federal government issue? JohnTory you’re the mayor, you figure it out!

You should be hiring more police more patrolling at night time longer jail sentences Especially when they’re gun related Especially in a city like ours criminals shouldn’t have a chance to breathe but then again what do I know

Stay home, get vaccinated and wear a mask. 🇺🇦

All these guys are out on bail for the same offences just days or weeks prior, police can arrest all day long but they're out the next day to do as they please.

Tory has to go! We will see more crime because of men like him.

Pretty disappointing that it took Marner93 being robbed at gunpoint for this to actually start getting the attention it deserves. Many people who aren't celebs already been through the terrifying experience. Only becomes an issue now...

There is already joint integrated provincial and municipal police forces for this. The root of this prob is much deeper and politicians don’t want to be the ones to take it on.

So does John Tory think that the provincial government or the federal government is hijacking cars? I would think Ford before Trudeau (after all his name is a vehicle) but it could be either one I guess. Way to go John solving the crime that quickly.

How does cash help? Look at the people committing the crimes. That’s what we need to deal with. Harsher punishments. Look at addiction crisis. What are they doing with these vehicles? Black market for this ..

Make life affordable again!

Maybe the cops should stop abusing homeless people... creating more poverty first?

Good thing Trudeau is getting rid of mandatory sentencing for firearm related criminal offences… that’ll show em’

This is the city after years of john and doug as leaders. Conservative politicians always destroy everything they touch.

I guess Doug failed again👇

Give the PO Po high end SUVs and taser the mofo when they try to carjack simple

this guy can’t solve anything on his own literally all he does is point fingers at every other level of government besides his

I know of a carjacking and owner could actually track car with GPS he installed himself. Car was driving to Quebec. He Called OPP and they were not interested in helping. Just said send in a report to your insurance company.

more immigration will fix this

Sounds pretty inept...as we know he is but another call to the feds to take care of a local problem.. we dont need the dictator taking charge of this, like ottawa.. we dont need more anti gun diktats... why cant toronto police handle this.. what will feds, ont bring 2 the table

Lol... virtue signalling even with a billion dollar police force

What?! What's the purpose of giving TorontoPolice a $1.1 BILLION budget if they're can't do the investigating and apprehension?! JohnTory burning money in Toronto...

Tory is an such a hypocrite In 2017 he declared Toronto a sanctuary city Now he is suddenly concerned with rising violent crime

He could just spend $2 million and round them all up. Tory likes to send Toronto problems to Peterborough. It's time for a regime change. Go away John Tory. I am tired of your shiny suits and NIMBY BS

Pussy

Bring in more strict jail times and harsh punishments. Insurance companies not working well with Auto manufacturers to make it tough to steal or car Jack.

What are they going to do? Any new or used car is hard to purchase, and car parts are becoming more difficult to find. People are digging deeper in their pocket just to get to work. Not surprised we aren’t seeing more of car related theft.

The border is a joke and the judicial system is a joke. Criminals will continue to thrive in this province and country until those factors are addressed. Until then we’re on our own.

Stop letting them out 24hrs after they get caught jacking the first one. Have you thought of banning criminals from carrying illegal firearms? That should do the trick and secure you more votes 😝

stop migrants who don't help society coming into CANADA. Have a proper vetting process to bring in migrants who want to be here because its CANADA and help our society ie. proper assimilation.

Thank you Mitch Marner for finally getting TorontoMayor to become aware of a situation that has being going on for months. And thank you for being a rich, white male or Tory might be still ignoring it.

Worry about properly taxes Johnny you 🤡

LOL...no Po in TO? Couldn't help myself. Five will get you ten the cops already know who it is.

Where are the parents of these kids who point a gun at you? Why wouldn't you want to know where your kids are and who their friends are? Negligent parenting is a massive problem here in the GTA. These pathetic kids steal cars they don't even know how to drive.

We are going to need some concealed carry here soon

What are they going to do JohnTory how about instead of having our police sitting in parking lots doing nothing actually doing there job and patrolling busy malls and streets.

Federal? Where is fordnation

Prosceute all crimes...Keep the criminals in jail that might help... hello its not brain surgery..

John Tory: 'I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas'

asking feds and province? ask the TPS, what are they doing with their 1 billion dollar budget?

With one of the biggest police budgets in the country and Tory still wants more help?

How about helping working folks who are struggling to live

Tory has turned Toronto into a desperate dystopia of income disparity, homelessness, starvation and despair. He's reaping what he sowed. Turns out his billion-dollar militarized police force is only good for roughing up 13 unhoused people in a park.

Omg......We need Ford to deal with a 'situation'.......or escalate it to the Feds for support. Ottawa......how did that work out😕

God protect these robin hoods

They ask the feds for everything! Then blame them after! The province barely does anything when these cities need them

JohnTory You mean Dougie can’t help you? He’s a yes man!

higher the rent the more criminals you get

Give the mother fuckers something to think about. Let us shoot the mother fuckers in the head before they get our cars. And don't convict me of a crime. Only did it because they made us do it.

Ford is busy building highways for the carjackers to drive out of town quicker so he can't help you right now John.

Let us carry.

Thats bc they know they get a slap on the wrist, bc our justice system is a joke.

Punish the law-abiding gun owners, JohnTory, that'll show those criminals!

CPSki, The problem here is because there is too much Freedom and this should of been addressed within the virus spectrum in the examples of anyone under the age of 21 must be home at 10pm and hire more special constables and more tps new cops like 1000 for 2022-2023

Have you tried banning crime? Maybe if you banned crime they would stop jacking cars.

Defund and provide the proper assistance and people won't resort to criminal or dangerous acts to get by.

How long before the liberals twist it to say that all the carjackers are anti-vaxxers with legal firearms... who helped to coordinate the windsor blockade and ottawa occupation!?

This is ridiculous. People don't show off your luxury cars

And what are they going to do? How about you guys start putting people in jail and giving them sentences that justify their actions?

Maybe redirect the cops beating up homeless people to help with the car jackings?

Middle class disappears, crime increases.

Amazing how quickly the mayor mobilized help from federal and provincial leaders when a rich white able bodied athlete is impacted!

We changed the system and did nothing but attack the police the last few years. Good luck with that.

Words mean nothing!!

Remove the YCJA. If you’re old enough to commit an adult crime, you’re old enough to go to jail as an adult

Treating the symptoms isn't goong to make the riot cause of the problem go away...answer the question why are carjacking are up first before you implement a solution

Gotta do your part for covid, guys, hope it was worth it!

Mr. Mayor you are doing a great job for our beautiful city! My question though why are we so scared not to call out the group of people committing the most crimes, carjackings, robberies, violence in our city? Why we don’t want to offend the very people who are the criminals?

Desperate people do desperate things, this is 100% wrong but I can definitely understand why thefts are up across all industries when it is near impossible to get ahead for a majority of the population.

Maybe start with cracking down on how these gangs are getting their guns and then lock them up for longer sentences. There is no deterrent right now. Free for all.

Only doing something about it because it got more publicity because Mitch Marner (Leaf player) got car jacked... They should do something about all crime in Toronto so people actually feel safe going there and enjoying more than the sports

I dunno -- drive a Kia? No one wants my Sorento or my iphone 6.

Why does the tax payers outside of the GTA have to give money to you. Fund your own police and stop making us pay for your inefficient police force!

These guys are getting greedy, and that's how they're going to get caught. I bet it's a huge operation, with the carjackers supplying cars to a 'hub' of a few 'exporters'.

It is very sad that no one cares about crime until it starts affecting their lives.

Time to booby trap some cars

This film has been airing a lot recently. Coincidence?

Car jacking, shootings, homeless people doing drugs and sleeping in parks, crazy number of mentally ill people roaming our streets pushing people of subway tracks, people randomly being stabbed JohnTory out city is going down to shits.

Then hire more police officers!

When the fkkk have any of you seen a cop stopping a crime in progress outside of TV. Be real.. They show up afterwards to take notes, check for cameras or witnesses, and if neither exist they are shit outta luck. Protect yourselves or risk being the victim name on some report.

John finds a reason to ask for more money - again. How about diverting funding from bike lanes I never see anyone using while I drive along?

Isn't it Tory's job in part to oversee public safety in Toronto?

That's the most dumbest thing I've heard in my life, no wonder you get D's in everything. Perhaps ousting un-vaxxed boys in blue wasn't the brightest idea in the first place, second I think we have enough social workers to deal with misdemeanor shit nowadays, so use your force

JohnTory wants help from provincial and federal governments to tackle a situation he helped create with his woke politics. Calling everything racist and not allowing carding and other gang reduction measures created this environment. The 's from when he took office don't lie.

hey cp24 if so concerned why B junketing 2 LA 4 non importants B far more serious issues by now junkets not ! do by zooms than wastin taxpyers $'s also no related but here cool vid tunes u should b giv'in few big sound bites 2's even b good 1 4 BT's

Why would they want to stop this? It’s fueling the insurance sectors

just ban car jacking, bans solved the gun problem /s

Heh JohnTory , why are you always asking for help? Why do you not help the city? Hands tied? No! Your police force, yes. How about some cameras on the streets and not the cherry trees you fenced off? Lots of work to be done just wish city employees knew the word.

Feds need to toughen up prison sentences - life means LIFE with no parole. Do what the US is doing - 30, 50, 100+ years for violent offenders. That's the help we all need

Start using shut down services like on star what ....🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

What the fuck u paying the cops for?

The entire criminal justice system needs reconsideration. Jurists need to gather together and really look into substantive and procedural streams of legislation as clearly what we have currently isn't working and perhaps needs amendment to reflect society in 2022 & beyond.

Black criminals are out of control

Gps tracking and immobilizers. It isn't rocket surgery..

You want to have a sanctuary city, well you take the things that come with that.

We don’t feel safe anymore, not in ttc not even our parking or streets

It’s quite simple…… stop pandering to the bleeding hearts. Increase the jail time. Stop being so goddamn sensitive people….. you do the crime, you do the time.

Cause a hockey player got car jacked

Cleverly hidden Air Tags are the answer. For 25 bucks; in a 90k vehicle....you can't go wrong.

The results when you get rid of carding. Weak sentencing

Why waited so long It seems now you became aware after a rich guy was robbed!! It’s a shame!!

We visit to toronto for business related purchases every week, but we stopped this week. Paying extra for delivery seems much better than getting carjacked. Never thought driving in new cars would be such a big problem.

I thought Doug gets it done. Not even in his own neighbourhood?

As usual JohnTory does not take actions beside a letter and pointing fingers to other level of government…. Poor leadership as usual with not back bones resign

The fuck does he care? It has no impact on him or his rich buddies so why would he lift an inch to do anything. Maybe he can swing it that the carjackers get like a free drink at a downtown bar to increase business?

Better invoke the emergencies act

Bring back carding. Plain and simple

So, defund the police isn’t the solution. Shocking 🤯…

I say when the public see's this everyone run after them and beat them on the spot.
