These random attacks, many in daylight, in #Toronto are devastatingly scary and sad. I'm certainly no expert on crime, but as a mother with a young teen who takes TTC to school and walks these streets with friends, I'm increasingly worried. 💔 #RIPMichaelFinlay Cc

These are all the symptoms of poor public policy decisions. Period. We can and we must change things. We just need leaders with the balls to actually address the underlying causes and not just bandaid solutions. Bandaid solutions are what have led us here today.

Same Amber. Same. We walk parts of Danforth ever weekend. My wife rides the TTC for work. My kids walk to school. I'm so torn on loving and hating this city right now.

Going to be honest , I live in Grimsby and have to go to Toronto a couple of times a week for work. It’s not the same place is was pre-2020. A small city May not have as much to offer but it can offer different things and provide a safer environment.

Certainly something to be concerned about & should dealt with, but remember Toronto is still a very safe city overall 🙏
