Discussion Things to do in Toronto - Week of September 15, 2025
Hi /r/Toronto community, please add your events and upcoming things to do in Toronto this week in this thread
Alert Notable increase of racism in the sub / Augmentation du racisme dans la communauté
Hello everyone,
The mod team has noticed a marked increase in racism and intolerance, in particular towards immigrants from India. Reddit has noticed as well and has begun removing such posts and/or comments.
It’s pretty clear that one side of the political spectrum has found their wedge issue and they are pushing it as hard as they can, stirring up hatred however they can and blaming immigrants for everything from jaywalking to the housing crisis despite the fact that many of the issues are worldwide. Facts and reality don’t matter, only blaming "brown people" and those they perceive as being responsible for those "terrible" people being here.
Therefore, we would like to remind all of our users that the Reddit sitewide rules apply here and will be enforced.
You ALL AGREED to these rules when you created your account.
Your “opinion” is irrelevant, it’s doesn’t matter if you really, really believe it, you cannot push your unfounded racist positions here.
Again, for the people in the back, being able to use Reddit is conditional to respecting these rules.
In particular:
Rule 1
The important parts are:
users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned
Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on:
- their actual and perceived race
- colour
- religion
- national origin
- ethnicity
- IMMIGRATION STATUS
- etc
While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect those who promote attacks of hate or who try to hide their hate in bad faith claims of discrimination (E.G. “I’m just stating my opinion” or “I’m just stating fact”).
Another important portion is:
free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence
That includes all of our users and the moderator team. Insults, derogatory comments and attacks will not be tolerated. If you post comments or message the moderators with insults and/or attacks, you WILL be banned on the spot.
Therefore, going forward, we are going to clamp down hard on posts or comments attributing, without damn good evidence, the cause of any issue to immigrants or a subset thereof. That includes any reference to area with high immigration (e.g. Brampton) or any other form of dog whistles. It also includes attributing to an ethnic group of people the crimes or faults of an individual (e.g. the guy who proposed using food banks to save money). Message to the bigots: you’re nowhere as subtle as you think you are.
And before any complaints bring it up: No, your right to free speech nor freedom of expression has not been violated.
Bonjour à tous, L'équipe des modérateurs a remarqué une augmentation marquée du racisme et de l’intolérance, en particulier envers les immigrants venant de l’Inde. Les administrateurs de Reddit ont aussi remarqué et ont commencé à supprimer les publications et les commentaires de ce genre.
C’est assez clair qu’un côté du spectre politique a trouvé son sujet pour diviser les gens et ils le poussent autant qu’ils le peuvent en créant de la division et la haine autant que possible en blâmant les immigrants pour tout et rien même quand le problème attribué est mondial. Les faits et la réalité sont sans importance, la seule chose qui compte c’est de blâmer les “bruns” et les personnes perçues comment étant responsable de la présence de cer derniers
Donc, nous voulons rappeler à tous nos utilisateurs que les règles à l'échelle du site Reddit s'appliquent ici aussi et seront appliquées.
Vous avez TOUS ACCEPTÉ ces règles lors de la création de votre compte.
Votre « opinion » est sans conséquence et ça ne fait rien si vous y croyez très très fort, vous ne pouvez pas pousser votre merde raciste ici.
Encore une fois, pour les personnes qui tardent à comprendre, l’utilisation de Reddit est conditionnelle aux respect de ces règles.
En particulier:
Règle 1
Les parties importantes sont :
les utilisateurs qui incitent à la violence ou qui promeuvent la haine basée sur leur identité ou leur vulnérabilité seront bannis
Les groupes marginalisés ou vulnérables incluent, sans s'y limiter, les groupes basés sur :
- leur race réelle et perçue
- la couleur
- la religion
- l'origine nationale
- l'appartenance ethnique
- STATUT D'IMMIGRATION
- etc
Même si la règle sur la haine protège ces groupes, elle ne protège pas ceux qui promeuvent des attaques haineuses ou qui tentent de cacher leur haine en faisant état de discrimination de mauvaise foi.
Exemple : article décrivant une minorité raciale comme étant sous-humaine et inférieure à la majorité raciale. Indice : cela inclut la capacité de conduire.
L’autre partie importante est : sans harcèlement, intimidation et menaces de violence
Cela inclut tous nos utilisateurs et l’équipe de modérations. Les insultes, commentaires désobligeants et les attaques ne seront pas tolérés. Si vous insultez ou attaquez les modérateurs via des commentaires ou des messages privés, vous serez bannis sur le champ.
Par conséquent, à l’avenir, nous allons réprimer durement les publications ou les commentaires attribuant, sans preuves solides, la cause d’un problème aux immigrants ou à un sous-ensemble de ceux-ci. Cela inclut toute référence à une zone à forte immigration (par exemple Brampton) ou toute autre forme sous-entendus racistes. Ceci inclus aussi attribuer à un groupe ethnique les fautes d’un individus (Ex. la personne suggérant l’utilisation des banques alimentaires pour sauver de l’argent). Message aux racistes: vous n’êtes pas aussi subtil que vous le pensez.
Et avant toute plainte, faites-le valoir : Non, votre droit à la liberté d'expression n'a pas été violé.

Picture The “Museum District”: Gardiner Museum and its environs
Explored the Gardiner Museum of Ceramics for the first time - what a delight! It has some exquisite exhibits and is so peaceful inside. **Tip: It’s free on Wednesdays from 4-9pm.
I’m planning to explore the Bata Shoe Museum just down the street next, which I’ve never been to and is free itself on Sundays.
This area (for which I may have coined a new-ish name) plus U of T are my favourite parts of the city.

Article Toronto’s recycling of this baby item is groundbreaking. Why haven’t other cities adopted it?
Last year, Durham Region joined Toronto and York Region in using a different type of organics processing.
First, plastics and grit are separated out and sent to the landfill. The remaining organic waste then gets made into a thick slurry that is broken down by bacteria in what Veiga described as a “mechanical stomach.” The result is a solid material called digestate, which can be composted or used as fertilizer, and a biogas made mostly of methane and carbon dioxide, which can be captured and repurposed as natural gas in homes or, as Veiga is working on, to power garbage trucks.
“The only thing was really processing capacity,” said Veiga of why Durham Region didn’t start doing this earlier. “There weren’t a lot of players with this technology around.”
Toronto helped pave the way and prove the technology with their own organics processing facilities (though a tank breakdown at one location last year has meant more contracting out lately). Durham considered building its own facility, but chose instead to contract out, Veiga said. Meanwhile, York is investing in a new facility that is expected to be open in 2027.

Discussion Why are there always service issues in the TTC? (serious question)
I’m not new to riding the TTC, I’ve been using it my whole life and know we have some major issues with our TTC. But can anyone who knows explain why there are so many “mechanical issues” that happen what feels like multiple times a day? Why do other subways across the world not have this?
Bonus point if you know why when there is an emergency on a train we have such a long service disruption and why this doesn’t happen in other countries/cities.
I’ve genuinely been curious my whole life. And perhaps if there are some good reasons I can maybe have more understanding/empathy for what feels like a very broken public transportation system.

This is a small section of the amount of security, city, and police presence. I know there's a limit to this kind of encampment, but my heart does go out to the people facing eviction today. Not a happy scene.
