I can't support this candidate either - website is full of feel good platitudes - takes no positions and states no policies. I'm sure he knows lots of the City Hall players having been a reporter on City Hall for so long. He has some very ambitious goals, many of which City Council has no control over because the majority of funding for affordable housing and homelessness comes from the Feds and Province. This candidate is at the bottom of my "maybe" list. I can't support this candidate either - he wants to tax and spend and pour money into the inner city, but doesn't realize that the sprawl is the thing eating the taxpayer's lunch. Council can't directly change that because the MVA tax system we have is controlled by Provincial Legislation.Īlso, this candidate totally supports the NIMBY attitudes of inner City communities which doesn't address the sprawl issue at all. Those $ end up subsidizing the burbs and the sprawl. I can't support this candidate because she doesn't understand that the higher tax $ paid by communities with higher property valuations can't be directed back to those communities. The tax dollars raised from each community should help benefit those same residents at home in their respective neighbourhoods. I'm in Ward 11 but will be Ward 8 for the election.
