OPP officers escorted ducks off Hwy. 401.

Family of ducks rescued by OPP on Hwy. 401 and Keele Street ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

A family of ducks has been released from police custody after “fowling” up traffic on Hwy. 401 in Toronto Monday morning. Ontario Provincial Police said officers escorted the ducks off the busy highway, near Keele Street. “We got mom and the six little ones all into the police car,” Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said. “I don’t know how many feathers ended up in the police car. It was a happy story at the end. Everybody got off safely.” And just two days earlier, officers saved two baby ducks walking on the QEW in Burlington. “They couldn’t fly yet,” Schmidt said. “When we got there, the mom flew away. We got them off to a location where they could be reunited with their mom, off into a grassy area.” Not all animal crossings end safely though. Earlier this year, a raccoon that ran across Hwy. 427 caused a five-vehicle pileup involving two transport trucks. “We’ve seen the odd dog up and down the 401 as well,” Schmidt said. “We certainly don’t want people stopping and getting out of their vehicles and trying to chase these animals down. ... Just call the police; let us know what’s going on, and we’ll get out there and try to coordinate a reasonable way to get these animals off the highways and make sure no one else is put in jeopardy.” The OPP investigates about 15,000 collisions involving animals every year, mostly on rural roads or in northern Ontario.

Sex trade traffickers target vulnerable young girls online

Write us

on’t talk to strangers is a common piece of advice parents give to their children. Warning your kids to not go with someone to find their ‘lost’ puppy or enter a vehicle with mommy’s ‘friend’ because she’s late picking them up is part of parents’ basic arsenal of street proofing. This isn’t new. What’s new are the strangers lurking behind fake profiles on social media – canvassing the vulnerable for a life in the sex trade. This week, Metroland Media Toronto is publishing the first of two parts on human trafficking of young girls. Our reporters found in their research that predatory men and boys are spying on Instagram and Snapchat – any place they can find a girl who is down after a fight with her parents, a blow out with her boyfriend, ostracized by her friends or feeling or unaccomplished in Our VieW unpretty an online world where image, or the optics of having it all, is paraTalk to kids mount. in human trafficking about human tellExperts Metroland Media Toronto that girls around 16 years old are trafficking the main targets, but some as young as 12 have been lured into the sex trade. “They tell their life stories online,” saying things like, “I look fat today,” said Det.-Sgt. Nunzio Tramontozzi, head of the Toronto Police Service’s human trafficking team. Trolling, traffickers start out by assuring the girl, “You’re not, you look great,” he said. “Within days, they hook them.” If a child gets the validation and acceptance they seek online it’s like a ‘dopamine’ hit experts say, the ‘adrenaline rush’ they need to feel valued. You’ll read some troubling stories in this feature. Stories of young girls being passed around from man to man, shuttled between hotel to hotel. It’s important to trust our children enough to do the right thing online. But when the young mind is growing and emotions and hormonal changes are unbalanced, a kind word or a sweet gesture from the wrong guy at the right time is all it takes for the unthinkable to happen. We hope these stories educate and inform you of the dangers that are present. Speak to your children. Open the discussion about human trafficking no matter how uncomfortable or awkward. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime.

Lastman set tone on keeping property taxes low It was only appropriate that as Toronto Council began to debate its budget directions for what could be a very austere 2017, surviving mayors of Toronto’s pre-amalgamation municipalities should be gathered to unveil a display of portraits and a bit of a light history lesson on amalgamation. Former Toronto mayor Barbara Hall was there along with ex-Etobicoke mayor Doug Holyday. Former York mayor Frances Nunziata was on hand to officiate, along with East York’s last mayor Michael Prue. The late Frank Faubert of Scarborough was in the picture, and there in memory. And of course, there was Mel Lastman – North York’s first, last and only mayor; and arguably one of the preeminent co-authors of the financial conundrum that Toronto is facing today. Lastman was North York’s favourite son, a successful municipal politician whose boosterish approach

david nickle the city to governance made his re-election in North York a certainty and made him a good bet to win the mayoralty in the first election of amalgamated Toronto. It was a good bet but by no means a sure thing, and to nail it down, Lastman relied on two things: the love of his North York constituents, and a promise to freeze property taxes for three years straight. This, he did for the first three costly years of amalgamated Toronto. And they set a standard – impossible to meet, but always there – of very low property tax increases. Because of that, revenue has never quite kept up with demand. On Tuesday, Lastman offered a reminder of his original pitch.“People don’t understand. Take a look at the price of food: you go in to buy apples, you buy a

lettuce, a celery. Six bucks, eight bucks. It’s crazy. Then you come along the last thing in the line, the taxes. You increase taxes? Where the hell will they get the money?” Other mayors have put this more gracefully, but this is the blunt narrative that leads us to Toronto’s financial problems today. Upstairs, Lastman’s successors spent the day grappling with the need for a 2.6 per cent cut to all programs in order to write a budget that’s sustainable. Property taxes have actually been shrinking over the years, and services have become more expensive. Under questioning from councillors, senior staff acknowledged that services are going to be constrained and necessary growth in services in, for example, poverty reduction, will be nearly impossible. The tricks that saved Lastman and his successors – deferring expenses through what turned out to be bad

leasing deals, or ballooning revenue from our everbubbling land transfer tax, rescues from more sympathetic provincial governments – won’t be available for long. So that means service cuts in the short term, and in the long term? Maybe revenue tools. But Lastman wasn’t so sure about those. A little alcohol tax, some tobacco tax… maybe hotels would be fine. “But if they start hitting on other taxes they’re in trouble, because the people can’t afford them and they’re going to get fed up with politicians completely,” warned Lastman. With words of wisdom like that from amalgamated Toronto’s founding father, it seems pretty clear that we’ve all been in trouble for a very long time.

Repaving driveway a pain for big families It’s driveway-paving season, and in Scarborough or North York, people who pave their driveway are asking to be hit. I’m not talking about the people in new houses, on top of double-wide garages and driveways the size of Olympic pools. They’re somehow fine. I mean people in old houses, who sit on cracked asphalt or concrete parking pads as long as they can, then call a paving company. Often, the job’s done, and those people are screwed, and not just because they didn’t know they needed a permit. It’s because no matter how wide it was when they bought the house, their repaved driveway can’t be wider then their garage. A mid-Scarborough woman I’ll call Salma found that out. Her house, expanded to five bedrooms but with an original, tiny, one-car garage, had a driveway 5.5 metres wide. Cut it to 3.75 metres, the

mike adler edges of toronto city said after she repaved it. If Salma were rich and living in a rebuilt McMansion, fine. But she’s out of work and living with five other women, all relatives. You can’t park overnight on any street in Scarborough or North York. What about adult children - or in Salma’s case, a sister, mother and two nieces who want their own cars? It’s easy for downtowners to tell members of these car-heavy households to take two buses to work, or wait for a new subway stop to open. They see it differently. They pay property taxes, and don’t understand why city staff can’t just let them park side by side. “They come up to grab money, any kind, any way,” Salma complained.

She finally paved, she said, because the city installed a hydrant beside the driveway which caused water to pool on it for years. Her family kept falling on the ice. Her new driveway caused Salma weeks of distress. What’s heartening is her news this month the city, in a merciful moment, is agreeing to look the other way. “They said it’s OK, you can keep what you have,” said Salma, who thinks her appeals to a local councillor helped. People like Salma don’t understand all the regulations. She admits that, but she isn’t asking for that much. The city, particularly in struggling areas of Toronto, has a collective choice to make. It can use rules to make life harder for expanding families, or it can make things a bit easier.

Jason Huang had a special surprise for his parents over the Christmas holiday. The 16-year-old Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute student had taken two online practice ACT (American College Testing) tests, scoring perfect on both. Feeling confident, he wrote the real exam in December at St. Andrew’s College, and once again was flawless, earning the highest possible score of 36 - and putting him in an extremely rare category. On average, less than one-tenth of one per cent of students who take the ACT earn the top score. Of those tested in 2015, only 1,598 out of 1.92 million students earned a perfect 36. Similar to the more widelyknown ‘SAT’ exam, the ACT is made up of tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science. ACT scores are accepted by all major U.S. four-year college and uni-

versity programs. So on Christmas Day, Jason checked online and saw he scored 36, quickly sharing the news with his jubilant family. “The practice tests made me confident going in,” he said of the written test. “Of course, there is a degree of uncertainty with it, but I was feeling well coming out of it. It (a perfect score) was definitely a nice surprise. My family was obviously very excited as well. I was excited to tell them such great news that day.” Jason, who just wrapped up grade 11 with a 98 per cent

ESCAPING THE TRAP: Preying on the vulnerable from homeless girls to the girl next door MIKE ADLER AnD FAnnIE SUnSHInE newsroom@insidetoronto.com Girls are growing up online, and many in Greater Toronto spend as much time with social media as they do in school, chatting, liking, posting. They don’t know pimps are watching. Predatory men and boys are waiting not just at the shopping mall, but on Instagram, Snapchat, free dating sites, anywhere they can catch a girl at the right moment. Experts say that could be after she argues with her parents, or expresses vulnerability about her looks. “They’ll tell her how smart she is, how pretty she is, that she’s a grown-up who can make her own decisions and doesn’t have to listen to her parents,” says Michele Anderson, human trafficking advocate for Toronto’s Covenant House. Sixteen is a typical age, but girls as young as 12 are targets. “They tell their life stories online,” saying things like, “I look fat today,” said Det.-Sgt. Nunzio Tramontozzi, head of the Toronto Police human trafficking team. Trolling, traffickers start out by assuring the girl, “You’re not, you look great,” he said. “Within days, they hook them.” Online luring is one reason sex trafficking happens around Greater Toronto - a hub for this type of crime through which victims are moved quickly from hotel to hotel not just to homeless girls, but to the girl next door. If a child looks for validation or acceptance in an online space, and someone offers it, “that’s an adrenaline rush, that’s dopamine,” said Debbie Gordon, director of kidsmediacentre at Centennial College. Online culture puts pressure on children to get approval for posts, or to build up followers, without really caring who those followers are, she said. Some may say, “If I show more, take more risks, the next selfie will get more likes,” added Gordon. “You see so many kids taking such incredible risks.” A trafficker will suggest meeting for dinner or coffee, and will shower a girl with expensive designer purses or cell phones, said Anderson. They’ll then head to a hotel, where the girl is introduced to some of the trafficker’s friends, and she’s forced to have sex with them in exchange for the gifts she received. “They’ll say, ‘What, you think this is all free?’” Anderson said. If the girl resists, blackmail ensues. Or the trafficker gets aggressive and abusive.

“

Victims are typically allowed home at night, but the threat of physical violence always looms if they dare tell anyone what’s happening, Anderson said. In Olivia’s case, the trafficker was someone she knew from high school, entering her life when she was about 20, struggling with her mental health and severely low self-esteem. There was a honeymoon phase where she felt special and loved. Olivia (not her real name) began living with the trafficker, feeling like she hit the jackpot. “He played on those vulnerabilities, knowing I wanted this relationship to be my forever.” Olivia worked as his girl for two years, in hotel rooms from Burlington and Oakville to Markham, Richmond Hill, and downtown Toronto. “To some degree, the industry itself met a lot of my needs. Now I felt good at something. I felt desired.” Leaving was difficult. She was incredibly scared for her reputation, and her trafficker threatened to send her sex ads to people she cared about.

He played on those vulnerabilities, knowing I wanted this relationship to be my forever.” –

Olivia

One day, a police officer posed as a John, checking Olivia’s identification to see if she was underage. She wasn’t, and wasn’t too receptive to his questions, but kept his card. It was six months before she called, hoping to escape and rebuild her life. Some trafficked women and girls finally, literally run for their lives. Others are held in place by ingrained feelings of love, dependence or fear. Luring is sometimes done by women, most often by friends who are victims themselves. Some are told they could be “partners” with their trafficker if they recruit replacements. Recruiting is a means of self-preservation, a chance to have sex with fewer people, said Carly Kalish, a therapist for the Scarborough-based East Metro Youth Services. “The illusion of being their partner is a big part of why you stay, but it’s never actually the case,” she said. NEXT: How Ontario’s new anti-trafficking strategy could convict more traffickers and offer crucial support to more survivors.

This is some of the language and words used which could indicate a girl is trapped in “The Game” (prostitution). Sources: East Metro Youth Services, kidsmediacentre, Toronto police detective

MORE ONLINE Karly’s story: From being homeless and a drug addict who engaged in the sex trade as a teenager, Karly found a way out and is now giving hope as a peer counselor to women and girls who survived sex trafficking or are still in the sex trade. (bit.ly/karlystory) Signs a girl is being lured: Experts say sex trafficking masks itself as a typical relationship for a girl. Parents and friends can spot these and other warning signs a girl is in a dangerous relationship. (bit.ly/luringsigns)

The City of Toronto holds public consultations as one way to engage residents in the life of their city.Toronto thrives on your great ideas and actions. We invite you to get involved.

REimaginingYonge Street (Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Notice of Public Open House #2 Public Consultation

We invite you to attend the second Public Open House to learn about the City’s study, including: work and consultation activities completed to-date, evaluation of the alternatives, selection of the preliminary preferred alternative, design options for the preliminary preferred alternative and next steps in the process. Details are as follows: Date: Monday, July 25, 2016 Time: Drop-in anytime from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Location: Mel Lastman Square 5100 Yonge Street OR Time: Drop-in anytime from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Location: Memorial Hall 5110 Yonge Street Please note that the same information will be available at both events.You are encouraged to choose one event to attend. If you are unable to attend, you can view the display materials and submit comments online.

Study Overview

Yonge Street is the central transportation corridor and pedestrian promenade within NorthYork Centre, one of four centres in the City focused on transit-based employment and residential growth. Inconsistent urban features, from sidewalks, crossings, and medians, to the lack of dedicated cycling facilities, present challenges.The City ofToronto is carrying out a study to evaluate opportunities to improve the streetscape and public realm alongYonge Street from Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue. After receiving comments from the public and completing a detailed assessment of the alternative solutions, the project team is recommending the transform alternative as the preliminary preferred alternative.Transforming Yonge Street will include a full reconstruction ofYonge Street within the City’s existing right-of-way to include: wider sidewalks, enhanced pedestrian crossings, street trees, dedicated cycling facilities, options for parking as well as planters, public art and street furniture throughout. From Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue, traffic lanes onYonge Street may be reduced from 6- to 4-lanes. Cross sections showing design options for the transform alternative alongYonge Street will be presented at the Public Open House.

Study Process

The study is being carried out under Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA), which is an approved planning process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The public will have opportunities for input at key stages of this study. Study will define the problem and opportunities, develop and evaluate alternative solutions and designs, review public and stakeholder feedback, and identify measures to minimize any impacts. An Environmental Study Report will be prepared at the end of the process in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA.

Getting TTC patrons on Presto

A youth transit advocate told the TTC board her peers are eager to adopt Presto, but see too many barriers for using it right now. Bri Gardner, transit lead for the Toronto Youth Cabinet, said at Monday’s meeting a

TO in TRANSIT survey of Toronto high school students conducted found just five per cent of respondents claimed to regularly use Presto. Gardner said most students hadn’t tried using it due to a lack of availability plus the non-refundable cost of the card. Gardener also called for extending the “overlap period” for phasing out tickets and tokens, which is expected to begin in early 2017. TTC deputy CEO Chris Upfold told the TTC board plans are in the offing to launch a promotional campaign once implementation work is completed by early 2017. Along with that, Metrolinx, which administers the Presto program, is looking to create a “third-party” network of locations outside transit stops where you can buy a card or add a concession.

Toronto will have to look for a new Director of Transportation with Steve Buckley about to depart the position. A native Philadelphian, Buckley is returning to the U.S. after four years on the job where he is credited with modernizing the city’s transportation services department. At the start of the July city council meeting Tuesday, deputy city manager John Livey paid tribute to his colleague’s efforts in expanding open data collection, overseeing the expansion of the city’s bike lane network and developing a road safety plan.

Upfold said the TTC was also looking at adding full-service Presto vending machines at stations which could also provide concessions.

We Wan t:

The TTC is developing a smartphone app to report harassment. CEO Andy Byford said the new app will make it possible to take a flash-disabled picture of the harasser, log vehicle details and location, and immediately send it to the TTC’s transit control centre for further action. Byford told CP24 the app could be of particular benefit to women, who he admitted are more likely to get harassed while on transit. It’s still unclear how it will work in certain conditions, for example, on the subway, where a complaint couldn’t likely be sent while a train is in a tunnel due to the lack of reception.
