Councillor Morley voted no on this. Why?

Your morning alarms are going off, fam.

Okay but real talk— It's 7:30 AM on April 3rd, 2026, and Toronto Fire Services is already responding to two active "Alarm Single Source" incidents. We're still waiting on location details for both, but dispatch records show the first alarm came in at 7:13:05 AM and the second followed quickly at 7:21:07 AM. Keep an eye out if you're out and about early, especially around the usual high-traffic spots. My antennae are up, and I'll be on it the minute we get locations.

### Council's Eye on Evictions

Meanwhile, at City Hall, something important happened on March 23, 2026, at the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Advisory Committee. They passed a motion to address evictions by using "Disaggregated Race-Based Data in Social Housing." This is huge, fam. It means we'll finally get a clearer picture of how evictions are impacting different communities in our city. Councillor Amber Morley voted no on this, but it still carried, 7-3. This kind of data is crucial if we’re ever gonna tackle the housing crisis properly and fairly.

### What’s Next?

Keep an eye on what comes out of that race-based data initiative. It could really shake up how we approach social housing here in Toronto. Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.

Keith and the crew break this down every morning, so catch them live at mornings.live.
