I don't see any clear demand from this councillor Pasternak here. What would he have the city do differently to deal with political expression in a public square?
Today’s Palestinian flag-raising at City Hall required a massive police presence simply to keep order. Reality speaks for itself: this was never a diplomatic or cultural ceremony, but a political demonstration posing predictable risks and burdens for the City — burdens the public

The Liberal’s budget appears to have passed thanks to two abstentions from NDP MP Gord Johns and Lori Idlout—the other five NDP MPs voted Nay—and a Yea vote from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, with a final vote of 170 to 168.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said things were “looking good” as he headed into the House of Commons before the final vote. His government still needs two votes/abstentions to pass the 2025 budget. #cdnpoli

And in case you're wondering, from the above article: "Toronto allows organizations to book their courtesy flagpole to raise the flags of any nation recognized by the Government of Canada." Politicians do not dictate which flags get raised

The ceremony has drawn criticism from some groups, including a court challenge from the pro-Israel advocacy group Tafsik, which argues that the flag-raising will contribute to unrest and antisemitism in Toronto https://t.co/iinVwH3lIl

Shan moves to exclude 3 streets in his ward. He worries the retail spaces created won't just be small shops selling ice cream to locals, but things like "beef patties that are so popular that people from the 905 will come to get it." That'll just add to traffic problems, he says.

The folks at IntegrityTO have finally weighed in on neighbourhood retail with AI generated scenes of creepy faceless loiterers congregating outside a 7-11… Mind you the recommendation (that didn’t make it past committee) was for *corner lots*. They can’t even prompt right.
