MISSISSAUGA With speculation swirling that anti-feminist blogger Daryush Valizedeh, a.k.a. Roosh V., is planning to host his Toronto speaking engagement in Mississauga, Mayor Bonnie Crombie quickly went on the offensive.

"Disgusting, misogynistic and hateful rhetoric has no place in Mississauga or in any community across Canada," Crombie told The News Wednesday morning, calling on those hosting the Aug. 15 event to cancel the show.

The venue for Valizadeh's event in Toronto has not been disclosed, although there are reports it will be revealed Friday. On social media, there have been suggestions the event will be held in Mississauga.

Toronto Mayor John Tory tweeted Monday that Roosh "and his hate speech have no place in our city and should have no platform here," adding "While free speech is the law in this country, promoting violence against women is wrong."

Valizadeh, who recently got into an intense confrontation with a group of women and men in Montreal, is already planning his "battle of Toronto."

The city is the last stop on his speaking tour on "self-improvement for men" and "the problems that Western men face."

Valizadeh, who runs the controversial website Return of Kings, has argued on his own blog that, among many other anti-feminist messages, the incidence of rape could be reduced if the act was made legal on private property.

Valizadeh is the author of Bang, a book he describes as a "textbook for picking up girls."

He has also used his blogs and speaking engagements to advise men on the best methods to convince women to have sex with them.

"Hardened from battle in Montreal, we come to Toronto as righteous victors," he tweeted this week. "We won't stand down, we won't apologize."

He also responded to Tory's remarks, tweeting "my speech doesn't promote violence, harassment, or hate against any group. You were lied to about me."

Much to the dismay of more than 40,000 people who signed a petition to have Valizadeh stopped at the border, on the grounds that he would be inciting hatred at his events, he successfully entered the country last week.

His Montreal visit wasn't without bumps, however — in a video posted to YouTube on Saturday night, two women are seen throwing their drinks at him and swearing as a small crowd of people surrounds them:
