Let’s get Toronto moving.
I was so grateful to be back with the dedicated volunteers, and the amazing people who we people we served dinner to, at the First Interfaith Out of the Cold Program at St. Matthew’s United Church this evening. I love and appreciate them all so much!
My latest enewsletter: Combatting antisemitism, auto theft & home invasions, Scarborough RT derailment, vacant home tax (a hot mess), supporting renters facing demoviction, improving RentSafe enjoying a drink outdoors, Science Centre, leafblowers & more! joshmatlow.ca/councillor_mat…
Doug Ford’s wrong about fourplexes-and frankly, playing divisive politics. Sure, they won’t solve the housing crisis alone. But they provide more affordable housing options in our neighborhoods. These homes, and the people who live in them, are an important part of our community.
Eti Greenberg was passionate about Toronto & contributed to our civic life and public spaces. And I personally saw how much she loved her own neighbourhood. She chose Toronto, and we are all better for it. My heartfelt to condolences to her husband Ken & their entire family.
Auto thefts and home invasions have become more frequent, and more brazen. I support all levels of government working together to protect the safety of our communities.
I wish everyone in Toronto’s Tamil community celebrating this festive and colorful new year, Puthandu Vazthukal! May this Puthandu bring you and your family prosperity, happiness and good health.
The National Council of Jewish Women of Canada are delivering Passover meals out of @BethEmeth to over 2355 families in the GTA, including newcomers, Holocaust survivors & people with disabilities. I was grateful to volunteer with them this morning & support our Jewish community.
Signed! It's time for the City of Toronto to finally start enforcing the laws that are supposed to protect tenants. Add your name & let your Councillor & @oliviachow know you want to see ACTION on RentSafeTO.

My daughter Molly and I enjoyed the @tdsb’s Greek Heritage Month closing celebration today at the @GreekComToronto. There are many remarkable Greek-Canadians who work in our schools and support our kids’ education. It was our pleasure to be there to thank them.
The values of Sikhism, including equality, social justice & service to humanity, are shared by all of us who want to bring people together. I wish all of my friends in the Sikh community, here in Toronto & throughout the GTA, a joyful Sikh Heritage Month & Vaisakhi celebrations.
North York, at Yonge and Steeles, in 1957.
In the past week, there have been three @TorontoPolice officers injured on the job, including one being assaulted and another stabbed. Violence isn’t acceptable. I want to express my support to their colleagues, and to their families who they should safely come home to every day.
It’s time for City Hall to finally have tenants’ backs. Add your voice and ask your City Councillor to strengthen RentSafeTO by moving forward with real protections for renters and meaningful penalties for bad landlords. Visit: joshmatlow.ca/rentsafe
Today, the Ford government said that they will not take advice from “a political activist group” (referring to @ONPlace4All). That is an honest statement though. They’re far more likely to take advice from their friends who own land on the Greenbelt and Austrian spa companies.
My motion was unanimously approved by the TTC board. Thanks to @ttcriders for your advocacy. The SRT derailment should’ve never been allowed to happen. The public has a right to expect accountability & that the entire subway system be maintained, functional & structurally safe.

As work gets underway to build a new Etobicoke Civic Centre, I actively support creating an @EtobicokeHub at the old civic centre building. Central Etobicoke has, for a long time, needed a centre for social, health, cultural & recreational services. A community hub. Let’s do it.

@juliedabrusin Happy birthday! You have many strengths outside tennis! Thx for being an awesome advocate for animal welfare & sustainability!
Today I begin another trip around the sun. Every year brings new adventures. Message to my younger self: the biggest joy is time with your loved ones. And don’t stop learning new things, even if some — like tennis — won’t be your strength.
As always, this episode was produced by @JayCockburn, @katehelmore, @kylejfulton and @alishakapishaa and hosted by yours truly. Thanks for listening.

Was glad to hear @BonnieCrombie’s speech at the @Empire_Club last week. It’s important for Toronto to have partners at other levels of government who share a focus on economic competitiveness, and who understand the important role that local governments play.
@JoshMatlow Hey Josh I think the city should look at revamping the dates on the heating/ac bylaw. June 2nd is way to late for AC. Every year it's a struggle from mid April till they are forced to turn it on.

I joined @MoveTheWorldCA to learn more about how we can strengthen our home-grown plant-based proteins industry. These made-in-🇨🇦 foods support a shift towards more sustainable options, reduce emissions, and improve the health of Canadians.🌿🌾🍴
Thanks for stopping by @MoveTheWorldCA's reception with @TurnbullWhitby, @juliedabrusin! We really appreciate your ongoing support and leadership on animal welfare, biodiversity, climate action & One Health and the role plant-based food policies & procurement can play. #cdnpoli
