We’ve worked closely together to ensure we have crossing guards in every Toronto-St. Paul’s neighbourhood, to keep our kids (and all of us) safe when they’re walking to school. My family and I wish you a safe, happy and successful start to the new school year! I hope to see you out in our community soon.

Riders slam this TTC subway barrier installed at TMU station, asking what does this actually do to keep people off the tracks. According to a report, outfitting 10 high-priority stations will cost $20 million. City Councillor Josh Matlow said: “Toronto can and must do better."

“Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario. Canada is still a sovereign nation,” Toronto City Councillor Josh Matlow told BTPM News, calling the move “absolutely irrational” and “unreasonable.” Matlow said the Trump administration’s actions show a lack of concern for the American public. “If he actually cares about American jobs, the cost of living, and making life better for the people he represents, he should arrive at a fair deal with Canada, the United States' closest friend and partner,” he said. btpm.org/ontario-news/2026-0…

"I want a city that's vibrant and fun and places, frankly, where we've got business districts where people are attracted to. And I want that for our city." Toronto City Councillor @JoshMatlow tells @MooreintheAM why he wants more pedestrianized streets like in other cities.

I’ve been fighting for years to ensure that renters’ rights to a safe and healthy home is protected. Today, we’re moving forward with colour-coded signs, backed up by remedial action and financial penalties, to hold our city’s worst landlords to account and to ensure that City Hall has your back. Thank you to Acorn, FMTA, York South-Weston Tenant Union and every other tenant advocate who’ve I’ve been proud to work with!

Big turnout for @JoshMatlow’s rally to draw attention to the ridiculous tax code issues that shut down the midtown pickleball court and that make interim uses prohibitively expensive in development sites.

The Ontario Science Centre was shamefully closed by the Ford government. Now, we can’t allow it to be lost due to neglect. Please join us Sat, May 23, 1:30-4:30pm at Metro Hall to discuss realistic ways to bring it back to life, to serve the public again. savesciencecentre.com/may23m…

Doug Ford made an announcement, but we have a plan. We have a Made-in-Toronto plan for our city’s waterfront - including a vibrant new neighbourhood in the Port Lands, affordable homes, several new remarkable parks and year-round vision for Exhibition Place. A plan that improves access to the islands, and supports both economic development, and the quality of life of residents from the Scarborough Bluffs to the Humber Bay Shores. It’s been years in the making, and so much of the plan is now becoming a reality. We can’t allow Doug Ford to screw it up. Please click here joshmatlow.ca/waterfront to send a letter to your elected representatives!

Hoping Minister @PrabSarkaria will join us for some ball at the park he's looking to pave over! Hit a dinger off me and then we can talk about expropriation! #onpoli @JoshMatlow

"The one thing Doug Ford has been consistent about is his love for jets. VERY consistent, in fact. He wants a jet on the island airport. He wants a jet in his driveway. He wants a jet at his condo in Florida. He wants a jet at his Muskoka cottage," says Councillor Josh Matlow.

One less jet landing on our waterfront. When it comes to Doug Ford’s bullying, wasteful spending and hiding from accountability, it’s always worth taking a stand and fighting back.
