Trump off: Ban Trump from Canada’s World Cup in 2026

It’s not just his insults to Canada and other states, it’s the shame of having a disreputable miscreant associated with a tournament dedicated to one of the best in human skills and a celebration of global solidarity. Let us show dedication to the best by excluding someone who corrodes what the World Cup Jules Rimet trophy stands for.To support this cause email postmaster @TorontotheBetter.net with NoTrump in the title line.

BDS movement revived



The BoycottDivestSanctions campaign against Israeli commerce was created to protest that country's war 
on. Palestine. To a world previously largely understanding  of the country’s origin as a reaction to its holocaust victimization Israel’s current war on Gaza is 
proving massively counter-productive. For many its savage response to the savage HAMAS killings of October 7, 202 is eroding acceptance of the Israeli state.  
Among non-partisans Israel is now more isolated than before the war started. Whatever the provocation imitative destruction is not a path forward and will likely only prolong the death cycle. For a better world TorontotheBetter calls for economic responses to 
provocation as the way to end murder cycles.A  boycott campaign that of the kind that helped to change South Africa in its days of racist apartheid can be effective again in reducing injustice. For the list of companies on the BDS list see www.bdscoalition.ca.

Country of origin label surprises??


                  Made in Canada. That’s what the words on products may say but made in Canada they may not be.


                                                                        MADE IN

                                                                           China ?

                                                                           Korea ?

                                                                          Taiwan ?

_____________________________________   India ?

_____________________________________ Quebec?

Many recent news releases have sounded surprised that some retailers may be evading responsibilities and/or falsifying information about their products' origins, but until they are threatened with consequences that's what they'll do, leaving purchasers to do their homework and genuinely ethical enterprises to be honest, - a tall order for many, it now seems.

2026 “Whirled Cup” just 12 months away

June 12, 2026 is the day the FIFA World Cup of soccer/football, the biggest sporting event in the world, will come to Toronto. And "whirled" it will be. Stay tuned to TorontotheBetter for what is to come as we contribute our voice to progress for all despite the whirling plutocracy of a historically scandal ridden FIFA, the sport’s governing body. In the months ahead there will inevitably be moral and political mayhem and much talk about "the beautiful game. But with Donald Trump still in office in one of the three North American co-hosts (U.S. Canada and Mexico) there will also be motive and opportunity to oppose current transgressions of decency and legality.   

18 July 2025                                                     Already in mid 2025 we see two themes emerging: 1) Inequality and 2) Appropriation. Under 1) we note that FIFA assigns tickets to those who can pay most and under 2) we note that the FIFA club World Cup trophy, now entrusted to the USA president will never leave the White House. The “people’s game” does not house a people’s trophy and few “people” can attend the people’s games.FIFA is a rich man’s club and with club participation go privileges unavailable to the masses.
