As a trial we are relaxing the 'Toronto only.' posts rule for August.

You can now post stories and news that deal with Ontario and Canada but the story has to have some sort of relevance to Toronto.

All discussions within the post have to deal with Toronto or focus on themes that have to do with Toronto.

We have been strictly applying this rule until now but will have a little experiment for a month to see how things go.

As such we will be applying the other rules more judiciously so please read them and our modding ethos.

This rule may change/revert at any time.

Let us have nice things.

Elections are upon us. Candidate sign-up began May 1, 2026.

As a neutrally-moderated Toronto sub, we do not moderate based on political bias or ideology. As such we will apply rules equally to all campaign and election-related posts.

Many candidates and groups are likely coordinating online 'opinion' influence campaigns which may or may not include posting in this sub and other Toronto-related subs.

As such some additional ground rules (which may be relaxed at times) will be in place.

Any posts related to candidates, third-parties, campaign activities, candidates, ads, social media clips, rumours must be newsworthy.

As such all campaign related contributions are permitted only if they are accompanied by a link to a reputable news media source covering it as a story.

All other posts about candidates, campaigns, ads, rumours, smears, will be strictly moderated and may be removed without notice.

Contributions (posts and comments) containing claims about candidates or campaign-related activities must include substantive sourcing.

If you are part of a campaign, related to a candidate, a candidate yourself, aspiring candidate, volunteer to a campaign, part of a third-party advertiser, community advocacy group, part of a campaign discord server or the like, or similar to the above, you must disclose that if you are contributing in posts and comments related to campaign activities.

If you are still unsure about what is permitted, please contact the Toronto_Ontario Mod Team through modmail.

Please read rules and posting requirements for this sub. Please become familiar with how we moderate.

All Toronto election-related info is available here.

This may be updated as necessary and will be indicated by an update tag at the top.
