Today's podcast is about all things Danforth. The Danforth just turned 100 in 2024. What does the next 100 years look like? In the Danforth area of Toronto, there are significant developments planned or underway, particularly around the intersection of Main Street and Danforth Avenue. According to available information: Main and Danforth Area: There are over 6,700 residential units proposed or under construction within a 400-meter radius of this intersection. This includes several high-rise projects with towers reaching up to 55 storeys. Specific Developments: 2575 Danforth includes towers proposed at 15, 29, 33, and 55 storeys. 2721 Danforth Avenue has plans for 55 and 35-storey towers. 6 Dawes Road is under construction with 39, 37, and 29-storey towers. The Dawes at another location is also under construction with 38 and 24-storey towers. Recent Proposals: There have been mentions of new mixed-use developments, including a proposal for a building at 985 Woodbine Avenue with 10- and 35-storey structures, indicating continued development interest in the area. From these details, it's clear that the Danforth area is seeing a substantial increase in condo developments, with thousands of units planned or in various stages of construction. This reflects a significant transformation in the neighborhood's urban landscape, focusing on high-density residential living. And for those hoping to invest NOW for this tremendous growth, tune into today's podcast for the story of 527 Sammon Ave, my newest listing in the area. A rare opportunity to own a detached home with parking and...your own mini waterpark in the backyard!

Welcome to the intro for Selling The Danforth, a new podcast show focused on the people, places and properties that make this community so unique.  As many locals will tell you, The Danforth was voted as #1 place to live in 2023 by Toronto life. As the first area I invested in back in 1998 and many times more over the last 25 years, I know these stories better than most. During this time, I have moved more people to and from this area than just about anyone I know.  In fact, I really just enjoy being the best storyteller possible and sharing your stories. Whether you are moving or not. That is what makes this podcast so unique. Hope to add your stories here soon.  Here is some information about the historical significance of Danforth Avenue in Toronto. ● Danforth Avenue in Toronto was originally known as Concession Line Road ● It was officially built in 1851 by the Don and Danforth Plank Road Company to connect Toronto to Danforth Road ● Danforth Road itself had been built some years earlier in 1799 by an American contractor named Asa Danforth Jr. It was originally intended as a 100-mile route from Scarborough to the Trent River, but quickly fell into disrepair ● The construction of Danforth Avenue was significant as it connected Toronto to the pre-existing Danforth Road, allowing for easier transportation between the two ●It is interesting to note that the term "the Danforth" always refers to Danforth Avenue and not to Danforth Road, despite the road being the older of the two ●Danforth Avenue was also historically significant as a major transportation route ●It was formerly designated as Ontario Highway 5 ●The section of Danforth Avenue between the Don River and Kingston Road was decommissioned as a Connecting Link on 1 January 1998 ●Today, Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway runs parallel to most of Danforth Avenue ●The area of Danforth Avenue known as Greektown is also historically significant. ●Many street signs in this area are in both English and Greek This podcast episode was powered by AI.

It's been a rough summer for everyone, but people have found ways to get outside and make the most of it. In this episode, we speak to 8 80 Cities' Managing Director Lanrick Bennett Jr. about the ActiveTO bike lanes and CafeTO patio spaces on Danforth Avenue in Toronto: a response to the need for alternative transportation routes and socially-distant business during COVID. And we talk to Park People's Adri Stark and Jake Tobin Garrett about their second annual Canadian Parks Report, and their national COVID-19 and Parks Survey. And we speak to author and musician Jonny Dovercourt about his new book Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. history of Toronto music 1957-2001, the unsung legacy of the city's music scene, and our disappearing venues.

Proclamation! For Palm Sunday, 5 April 2020 Today Reverend Shelley McVea tells the Palm Sunday the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem in triumph. Rather than a horse, the traditional animal for a powerful king, Jesus rides into the city on a donkey, a lowly service beast. He continues to re-write what power and glory will look like in God's kingdom. This email includes the Prayers for the People, prepared today by Graham Fisher. The scriptures for Palm Sunday, April 5, 2020 are: Matthew 21:1-11: Jesus and his disciples come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Passover. A room is secured, and a donkey for Jesus to ride on. People are caught up in the excitement of the day, lauding Jesus with branches and voices. “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Psalm 31:9-16: The Psalmist is going through a crisis. All have turned against him. He pleads to God for help, as he is in distress. As he paints his picture, we can see how well it describes what Jesus will go through in our gospel reading today. Yet the Psalmist's final affirmation is that “You are my God – my times are in your hand”. This is not only Jesus' affirmation, but it can become all of ours as we face the hardships of our own lives. Philippians 2:5-11: St. Paul invites each of us to step into the identity of Christ. Christ has voluntarily left all the privileges of the Godhead to take on human form. Christ embraced this new calling and humbled himself to the point of death. By dying a sinless death he has now been exalted by God to the highest glory in heaven or on earth. His name is above all others and we bow before him out of love and thankfulness. Matthew 26:14-27:54: Today we do a dramatic reading of Matthew's version of the Passion story. Betrayal, love, jealousy, kindness, belief and unbelief. All are represented in this morning's reading. We see the resolution and faith of Jesus contrasted with the duplicity and fearfulness of so many others. As we read the story today, try putting yourself in each character's part. We are all capable of playing all the roles. Matthew includes the detail that as Jesus gave up his spirit “the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom”. This curtain was used to shield the glory of God in the inner sanctuary from those on the outside. Now that glory is present for all to behold; the glory of God shining forth in the face of Jesus Christ. *** We miss meeting together, and we long for the day that we can meet again. One of things we miss is sharing our prayer burdens and praying together with sour St Saviour’s family, through book of intercessions at the rear of the church. In this time of separations and isolation, we present a new opportunity to put forward your prayer concerns so that we can all pray with you. When you feel moved, please send your prayer concerns by email to prayers.stsaviours@gmail.com , or leave a message on the church answering service at 416-699-6512. The intercessory prayer team will receive your message and include them into the prayers for the following Sunday. Prayers of the People – Sunday April 5, 2020, Prepared for you by Graham Fisher On this Palm and Passion Sunday, in these unprecedented times. We greatly miss meeting together in the same room and we crave for the familiar. At the same time, we long to walk alongside our Saviour, Jesus, from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Sunday, on the road to the cross on Friday, as is our habit in this holiest of weeks. For our prayers today, we will be using the very familiar Litany No. 1, found on Page 110 of the book of Alternative Service, but adapted for this week and these times. Also for the familiar. The hymn that is traditionally used as the recessional on Palm Passion Sunday. “Ride On, Ride On in Majesty”. For those who don’t know it, the You Tube version and the lyrics of the hymns are copied below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo5pfl6z6lA 1 Ride on, ride on in majesty! Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue your road with palms and scattered garments strowed. 2 Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die: O Christ, your triumphs now begin o'er captive death and conquered sin. 3 Ride on, ride on in majesty! The winged squadrons of the sky look down with sad and wond'ring eyes to see th'approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on, ride on in majesty! Your last and fiercest strife is nigh; the Father on his sapphire throne expects his own anointed Son. 5 Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; bow your meek head to mortal pain, then take, O God, your pow'r and reign. The line in the hymn that always brings many of us to tears is “Ride on, Ride on in Majesty; In lowly pomp, ride on to die….” We cheer Him on His way to die for us. Such an emotional rollercoaster. So. Litany No.1 (adapted). Following the prompt “Lord, we cry out to you;” the response is “Ride on, Ride on in majesty!”. For peace from on high and for our salvation, We lift the following up to You, Lord, in our cycles of prayer. Anglican Cycle: The Church in Wales Diocesan Cycle: all those who are worshiping You in isolation or with immediate family, on this Passion / Palm Sunday and throughout this holiest of weeks. Outreach & Advocacy Cycle: Pray for St. Bartholomew; for St. Bede; for St. Bride, Clarkson; and for St. Chad. Deanery Cycle: Church of the Resurrection Local Churches Cycle: Grant African Methodist Episcopal Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For our own Parish of St Saviours, Lord we thank you for the blessings you have poured over us.

Give us wisdom and inspiration on new ways to congregate remotely. Help each of us to fall on fertile ground, as we are scattered like the seeds you are sowing. Guide the leadership team in our church as they build a firm foundation on which we can grow as the current threat subsides. Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For our bishops, and for all the clergy and people, Our Primate Linda, Diocesan Bishop Andrew, Area Bishop Kevin, for blessing and encouragement for our priest, Shelley, as she leads us through this trouble time, and guides our neighbouring parishes as well in her role as Regional Dean. Keep her healthy strong as the familiar voice through whom You speak to us. Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, We pray for governments and government leaders in our own country and around the world in these challenging times. For unity amongst these leaders, as they set aside partisanship and embrace this team effort. Keep communication lines flowing. We pray for the leaders and members of all levels of government, and comfort them as they sacrificially are separated from their own families. Help to us rise above our own political differences and support the leaders You have put in place at this time. Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! We continue to pray for those who face challenges in what now seems like” normal” times, and yet continue to do so, as our attentions are deflected elsewhere. For those suffering from cancer and other illnesses and those who are struggling with their mental health. We pray for refugees around the world especially the safety of those attempting to escape persecutions at great risk. We pray for those who are facing health challenges unrelated to the current COVID 19 situation and may feel neglected as resources are redirected. We pray for those who are already having challenges in mental health as they are feeling further isolated. Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! We pray for our local community, this week for All our neighbours living, working & playing in the area bounded by Danforth Avenue, Barrington Avenue, Doncaster Avenue and Westlake Avenue, including those who came and go at Main Street Subway Station. We come alongside them, in spirit if not in person, and pray with them in their loneliness and distress. We pray for Your love to be revealed to them in new and refreshing ways. For drivers of trains and buses who are our transit system moving, to, from and through Main Street station and Danforth Go station. for every city and community, and for those who live in them in faith, Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For our friends and families, this week in our Parish family for Donyl Leitch and her family, and for Darlene McCreadie We pray for those of our parish who are house bound due to illness or immobility issues, and in isolation or quarantines for their own protection and for the protection of theirs. We pray for those in our own families, that those who know You be strengthened in their faith and that those who have yet to know you, that they will reach out to You in this time of fear. We speak their names to you now, Lord, silently or aloud, praying that their ears and hearts be opened to You, Lord, we cry out to you; Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For good weather, and for abundant harvests for all to share, for your continuing provision for those whose needs are still present even in this time of crisis for all. For our Bread of Life program in this parish, those who benefit form this program that they will be given provisions and find community in these times. For food banks, for those who live on our streets and are extremely vulnerable as a result, and for seeking shelter in this city where affordable housing is beyond reach for many, from the cold winter weather. Lord, we cry out to you. Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For those who travel by land, water, or air, especially those struggling to get home only to be isolated, for the sick and the suffering, for those who have been infected by the COVID-19 virus, for prisoners and captives, remembering the residences and staffs of long term care homes, and for their safety, health, and salvation, For those who have asked for our prayers today, (Please speak aloud the names of those whom the Lord has placed on your heart…) Lord, we cry out to you. Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For our deliverance from all affliction, strife, and need. Lord, give us hope and ever-growing faith in you. Heal our bodies, souls and spirits. Protect us and our loved ones from that which threatens us. Be with us in our isolation and loneliness. Lord, we cry out to you. Ride on, Ride on in majesty! For the absolution and remission of our sins and offences, Lord, we are reminded in this holiest of weeks that you sacrificed all that we may be saved. Although we know do so now in isolation or with own immediate family members, we commit to walk along side You as You proceed to your suffering and death on the cross, what You have done, are doing and continue to do for our sake. Lord, we cry out to you. Ride on, Ride on in majesty For all who have died, especially those who have died and are dying due to the COVID 19 virus, for their families, and this especially for You who endured the cross and died on our behalf, Lord, we cry out to you. Ride on, Ride on in majesty! Remembering all the saints, we commit ourselves, one another, and our whole life to Christ our God. To you, O Lord. Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications to you, and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together you will hear their requests. Fulfil now our desires and petitions, as may be best for us, granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come eternal life; for you, Father, are good and loving, and we glorify you through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, in the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

This week Shelley recaps the scriptures of Lent, and then explains what is meant by “Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.” This email includes the Prayers for the People, prepared today by John Schofield. The scriptures for Sunday, March 29, 2020 are: • Ezekiel 37:1-14 • Romans 8:6-11 • John 11:1-45 • Psalm 130 Intercessions for Fifth Sunday of Lent: Let us pray. The prayers of the people for Sunday, 29 March 2020 have been adapted from the website “Lay Anglicana”, the publication Christianity Today, and the Jesuits of the USA. Please kneel or sit as you are able. Let us pray: The Church of Christ Lord, you come to meet us long before we search for you, no matter where we are or what our circumstances. In this time of disruption and isolation, unite us in your spirit to be your Church, your people and your ministers here on your troubled Earth. Especially at this time – and always -- may we show forth your love to others. In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, we pray for the Episcopal Church in the United States. We also pray for York Mills Deanery, St. Athanasius, Orillia, St. Augustine of Canterbury, St. Barnabas Chester, St. Nicholas Birch Cliff, Church of the Resurrection, and Calvary Baptist Church. And we pray especially for Bishop Andrew, Kevin our area bishop, Shelley, our Priest-in-Charge, and for our entire St. Saviour’s community, including our Bread of Life friends, the MEC Ethiopian Church, the East Toronto Village Children’s Centre, and Main Street Terrace. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer Creation, human society, the Sovereign and those in authority Lord, inhabit our darkness and brood over our abyss. Speak to our chaos that we may breathe with your life and share your creation. Inspire us with your strength that we may draw from it the courage to withstand hardship, to choose to love, and to stand up for justice and peace in your world. And help us to bring your kingdom of truth and liberty here on earth. Jesus Christ, you travelled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for and prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth. Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbours from helping one another. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer The local community Lord, we thank you for the gift of community, which we are now missing so much. During this difficult time, help us to appreciate one another even more and never take our communities or your beautiful Creation for granted. Through our human companions, we know the essence of living: warmth and laughter, quietness and sadness; who we are and who we could be. We thank you for the joy of sharing as we journey the pilgrim road together. In the community cycle of prayer, we pray for all our neighbours in their living, working and playing in the area bounded by Danforth Avenue, Patricia Drive, the railway lands and Main Street, including Stephenson Park and the new condos under construction on Danforth Avenue. In the parish cycle of prayer, we pray for your blessing, Lord, on Jim and Lori Komis and Denise Leitch. Dear Lord, be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected by Covid-19 and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace. We pray, too, for those continuing to work in grocery stores, pharmacies and other essential businesses, and we pray especially for business owners and employees in so many sectors who are facing closure, layoffs and real financial hardship: God, protect them, sustain them, keep them from panic, and inspire our society and your church to generously support them. And please help parents and children to thrive during this difficult time. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer Those who suffer Lord, in the midst of struggle and pain, we trust in your love that endures. Help us to bear one another’s burdens as courage moves us onwards and our faith trusts in the future. You are the companion on our journey, the protector at our side, and you comfort and heal us with your presence. God, protect our elderly and those suffering from chronic disease. Provide for the poor, the homeless and the hungry, especially now, with the closure of many food banks. We pray for those with mental health challenges who feel isolated, anxious, and helpless: God, provide them every necessary support. I invite you now to make your own intercessions, either silently or aloud: Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer The communion of saints Lord, we pray for your servants who are now with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting. Our dear Lord, be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace. And be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace. Merciful Father, accept these prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. *** St. Saviour’s Church, 43 Kimberley Avenue, Toronto, M4E 2Z4 416-699-6512 Email: stsaviours@rogers.com www.stsaviours.ca Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/churchwithreddoor/ Services are currently suspended until further notice.

A Pastoral Message from Reverend Shelley McVea for the 4th Sunday of Lent In person services are suspended, but this podcast will continue to bring you the pastoral message and brief sermons recorded by Reverend Shelley. The scriptures for Sunday, March 21, 2020 are: 1 Samuel 16:1-13: There are many ways to be blind. God commissioned the prophet Samuel to anoint one of Jesse's sons as the new king of Israel. It was a dangerous mission as Saul still reigned as king. Scared, yet obedient, the prophet arrives at Jesse's home. Yet he is blinded by the stature and attractiveness of the elder sons. God sees the human heart, however, and chooses David, the youngest. Psalm 23: This is probably the most famous of all the Psalms. David's image of the Lord as our shepherd appeals to our need for security and serenity. David undoubtedly used his own care for his flocks as a basis for his poetry. From still water to darkest valley, the Shepherd will provide and protect in all circumstances. Maybe this week would be a good opportunity to ponder this psalm before you begin each day. Ephesians 5:8-14: If we have been given the light of Christ, St. Paul invites the reader to live in this light. How does light manifest itself in a life? By living a life that is good and right and true. So wake up and let Christ shine on you and through you. John 9: 1-41: The disciples ask the same question that the Pharisees ask when they see the blind man; “Who sinned? We hear the answer “no one” from Jesus' lips. He is much more interested in what He is going to do about it. He heals the blind man. Rather than rejoicing with the poor man that his misery is over, the religious leaders demand an explanation. (Jesus healed the man on the Sabbath). The man can't explain anything. He simply knows “once I was blind; and now I see”. That is enough for him. It is also the one thing that no one can dispute. The Prayers for March 21/22, 2020, have been prepared for you by Gillian Eley. Dear God, during this time of social distancing and lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, please remind us that we are still connected to one another and to You, and graciously hear our prayers. Heavenly Father, You are our best source of healing. Cast the light of health and well-being on those who have been exposed to coronavirus – those who have contracted the disease, and those who will contract it in the future. Bless them, protect them and bring them speedily to full recovery. Bless all who are ill with healing of body, of soul and of spirit. Comfort the loved ones of those who have died. Keep us, Lord, under the blanket of Your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful, so that we may rejoice in Your comfort, knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Dear Jesus, You taught us to love our neighbours, to care for those in need as if we were caring for You. In this time of anxiety, give us strength to comfort the fearful, to tend the sick, and to assure the isolated of our love, and Your love, for Your name’s sake. Remind us, Lord, to watch out for the needs of others who may not be able manage their own daily needs. Father, hear us today as we pray especially for, The Church of the Providence of Uganda The Mississauga Deanery St. Andrew, Alliston; St. Andrew, Japanese; St. Andrew, Scarborough and for St. Anne, Toronto St. Monica’s Faith Community Church All our neighbours living, working & playing in the area bounded by Danforth Avenue, Gledhill Avenue, Lumsden Avenue and Westlake Avenue. Joanna Keddy and family, and Michael Kielbiski All those living and working at Main Street Terrace The Bread of Life program at St. Saviours, and all those who are affected by the closing of food banks We pray for hospital staff, medical researchers and people working in long-term care facilities. Gracious God, give skill, sympathy and resilience to all who are caring for the sick, and Your wisdom to those searching for a cure. Strengthen them with Your Spirit, that through their work many will be restored to health. God, as more people get sick, healthcare workers and first responders are working longer hours with fewer supplies and with more risk of contracting the new coronavirus themselves. Renew their energy and sustain them on long shifts. Bring Your protection upon them as they work with patients. Multiply their supplies so they have the protective items needed to stay safe on the job. We pray for the elderly and people with chronic health conditions. Lord, protect them from harm and be their comfort in this time of uncertainty. We pray for travelers around the world who are stranded, trying to get home. May they find their way back as soon as it is safe to do so. We pray especially for Trixie Hoyer in Spain, and for the 1,000 Canadians in Peru. We pray for those who are guiding our nation at this time and shaping national policies. We pray that they make wise and compassionate decisions, and communicate clearly, truthfully, and calmly, and that their messages are received and heeded. We pray for business owners, employees, and families facing financial stress. Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness in how you have guided and equipped people in their jobs, and have provided in the past. It can be scary and overwhelming not knowing how bills and obligations will be met or to not be able to provide for families. As people feel financial strain during this time of uncertainty, bring them comfort and peace; remind them that You are there for them. Provide for them in their times of need. We pray for grocery store workers, pharmacy workers, and delivery drivers. Lord, we are so grateful for all the people who continue to work each day so that we are able to eat and meet other basic needs. We ask that You bless and protect them as they serve. Give them grace to handle disgruntled or panicked customers during supply shortages. Keep their bodies healthy as they unload boxes and stock shelves and freezers with supplies. Keep their cars and trucks running smoothly as they deliver needed supplies and food to stores and homes. And please protect them all from contracting the new coronavirus. We pray for this disease to stop spreading, that government officials find a way to safely handle people arriving from other countries. Help people decide to stay home instead of traveling or going out unless necessary. Holy Spirit, remind people to wash their hands properly. Comfort families as they decide to keep their distance from elderly or other high-risk family members. Lord, thank You for being our refuge and our strength, especially while church doors must remain closed – we pray that church congregations will be able to gather together for worship and fellowship as soon as it is safe. We commend ourselves, and all for whom we pray, to Your mercy and protection. Help us to see how You are moving around our world. Because of Your great love, we are not consumed. Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning. May we be more like You. Great is Your faithfulness. Father, graciously hear our prayers. Amen.

On July 22 a lone gunman opened fire on pedestrians and crowded restaurants on Danforth Avenue in the Greektown District of Toronto. He killed two and wounded ten others before turning the gun on himself. Three months earlier, just a subway ride away, a man drove a rental van onto busy sidewalks, killing ten and injuring 16. What is driving people, particularly young men, to throw away their lives and those of others? Were these incidents of terrorism or just mad acts of violence? What's the difference? Ben heads to Toronto to speak with Joseph McQuade, a terrorism expert at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto, to get to the bottom of these urgent questions.  About the Guest Joseph McQuade is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Asian Institute’s Centre for South Asian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholar, with a dissertation that examined the origins of terrorism in colonial South Asia in international perspective. This research is currently being revised into a book manuscript, tentatively titled Anti-colonial nationalism and the birth of ‘terrorism’ in colonial India, 1857-1947. His postdoctoral research at the University of Toronto will interrogate the role of terrorism and insurgency in defining national identity in postcolonial India and Burma (Myanmar). His broader research and teaching interests include critical genealogies of ‘terrorism’ as a political and legal category, the global history of political violence, and the relationship between insurgency and nation-states.

This past Sunday night, July 22 in Toronto, Faisal Hussain, a 29-year-old resident went on a shooting rampage on a number of Danforth Avenue restaurants. A 10-year-old girl and and and 18-year-old woman were killed, with many more injured in the attack. This is a terrible tragedy and my heart goes out to all those who have lost someone in this and other violent attacks.The news headlines and the media over the last few days have made it seem like the city of Toronto is falling apart as a result of increased violence. This morning I read an article in The Guardian which made we wonder,What are the best kinds of questions we should be asking, right now?In this special episode of the Living OUT Podcast, I discuss why the questions and statements I’ve read and heard people talking about are problematic. For example,“What’s happening to my city?”, or;“Can’t believe the city I love is unraveling before my eyes because of the actions of a few sick people,”These types of questions and statements are not helpful.The media glorifies these types of questions for sound bites and it makes the news addictive. It shifts our focus into reaction and fear; not response and empathy.These are redundant or rhetorical questions / statements that keep people stuck in fear and focused on the wrong issues. It allows people to jump to conclusions based on too few details to make any sort of logical judgment about the overall situation.To get to the truth of what’s happening with respect to this tragedy in Toronto, as well as other similar incidents, we need to ask questions in a different way. We need to,Ask for insight;Ask from empathy, and;Ask in a way that requires an empowering solution as the answer.I’m not saying this is easy, but…Better questions to ask about this tragedy are,“What can we do now?”“Why do we allow the sale of guns in Canada?”“How is turning a blind eye to mental health, poverty, and the displacement of individuals making situations like this worse?”News articles referenced for this episode:Rattled by string of violent attacks, Toronto wonders if city is unravelingGunman in Danforth rampage had prior contact with police: source'Like 2 different people': Friend of Faisal Hussain struggles to understand what sparked Danforth rampageToronto shooting: Why there are no simple explanations for acts of mass violenceLiving OUT theme music: “Summer” by Bensound.com
