The storm has passed and I want to assure the people of Toronto that we were prepared. Our teams were co-ordinated and we will keep working until every road is clear and every resident has power back.

I believe strongly in Toronto’s autonomy and right to govern itself.

Donald Trump is attacking us again, and he’s a bully. In this city, we stand up against bullies and we do it the Toronto way: with heart, with our innovation and creativity.

Why are we just ripping things apart for no good reason?

Cowardly acts of violence and intimidation cannot be tolerated and the police have my support in finding those responsible.

They've been our partners and friends for so many generations. Why are we just ripping things apart for no good reason?

It's not Americans that are hostile. It's that president of yours that is just attacking us.

Unless there's a choice, we're going to buy what is around us.

Being called the 51st state, it's threatening our sovereignty as a country, and we don't take it lightly.

We feel like we're being bullied

Let’s make sure there’s treatment first.

We're moving with urgency because people running out of rent money at the end of the month cannot wait.

If you work here you should be able to afford to live here.

Ford’s government must return the city’s land so we can get on with the work of building the waterfront Torontonians deserve.

We have been demanding to see the plans, despite the Toronto Port Authority actively hiding them.

Return our waterfront to us.

I want to say to the person or persons responsible: We will get you.

That is what a power grab looks like.

Now that this expansion is not moving forward, we are calling on the province to return the city’s land.

Thank you to everyone who spoke out, shared your voice, and stood up for our community. Your relentless advocacy has made a difference.

We saw Toronto come alive in a way that was truly special.

Over and over again we showed who we are: a place where people from every corner of the world live, work and cheer side by side.

This tournament had Toronto buzzing.

The city of Toronto will always work with the chief and the police and the festival organizers (to) look at the best way to keep people safe in these big festivals.

I have also spoken to the federal public safety minister and urged him to work with his American counterparts to stem the flow of illegal American guns coming onto Toronto streets.
