Yesterday, there was talk of a "Downtown Bike Blitz" being put on by Toronto Police - targeting cyclists running red lights and biking on sidewalks. The Toronto Police Service has let us know (via twitter) that there is no official campaign going on:

Last night on Twitter I received this "tweet" from the Toronto Police Services concerning a "blitz":

@TrafficServices: @DuncansCityRide There isn't an official bicycle enforcement campaign happening right now. Might just be divisional based enforcement.

This isn't to say, of course, that the police shouldn't be ticketing such offenses... it's not hard to stop at a red light (what makes cyclists so special that they can ignore traffic laws?) and at least downtown, the streets are safe enough to not HAVE to ride on sidewalks. Leave those for pedestrians.
