Understanding Your Needs

Toronto needs the tools to meet its service demands. It does not have those tools today. It will tomorrow if new tools are adopted.

Changing the Fiscal Framework

All wards need adequate coverage. We do not have that today. Cars can't be eliminated when there are not adequate alternatives.

Efficient, Safe and Affordable Public Transit

Like I said before I LOVE taking photos during church!

True Freedom of Information

We need holistic solutions not patchwork respite centers. The homeless need homes first, treatment for health and addiction maladies. More jails are not the answer.

Answering homelessness

Ontario (Toronto included) is far behind best practices regarding conflict of interest rules. It is about time we fixed this.

Revamping Conflict of Interest Rules

Toronto can benefit from its economic power much more than it does today. Rather than increase taxes, share in the economic growth the City supports.

Optimizing Public Investment

Sound governance practices promote healthy rotations in representation.

Councillor Term Limits

AI is a tool not to be feared but embraced. It can be used to make efficient what is currently bloated. Service first should be our motto. This does not mean job loss - it means job enhancement.

On tour, off days are usually spent alone. This time around I ended up strolling the streets of Toronto.

Who lives where

Property taxes and city spending were identified as the most important issues. But there are others including policing and public safety, support for seniors and maintaining parks and green spaces that many people identified.

What matters most to you?

Over 41% of respondents are opposed to more housing development in Ward 25. Yet, more people favour development with a plurality favouring affordable or mid-size developments.

Support for Housing Development

Nearly three quarters of respondents support investment in arts and culture programming.

Support for Arts and Culture

Loss of green space and infrastructure strain concerned the majority of respondents. Only slightly over 2% of respondents were not concerned with infrastructure matters.

Development Concerns

Road resurfacing and maintenance, snow clearing and salting, and the TTC's frequency and reliability were the top three priorities. Cycling infrastructure was a concern for only slightly over 12% of respondents.
