Didi Moffat

The Mayor and City Council

Priority: Protect housing stability and fix core infrastructure in Don Valley East. I will enforce tenant protections against bad-faith evictions, secure one-to-one rental replacements, protect fixed-income homeowners from tax spikes, and upgrade strained transit and stormwater networks. Also, I bring strict oversight to city spending, ensuring tax dollars deliver visible results.

Housing

I will tackle Toronto’s housing crisis across three clear fronts: Protect Tenants: Strictly enforce RentSafeTO to stop bad-faith evictions and neglected maintenance, while expanding legal clinics and municipal rent-bank access. Build Non-Market Homes: Use surplus public land (City/TTC) exclusively for 100% affordable, non-profit, and co-op housing, and streamline gentle-density approvals. End Chronic Homelessness: Shift capital from emergency hotel leases into permanent supportive housing with wrap-around mental health care, and fund the TCH

Cost of Living

I will freeze TTC fares and aggressively expand the Fair Pass Discount Program. Transit is an immediate, daily cost that hits working families, shift workers, and seniors the hardest. By locking baseline fares, lowering the income threshold for discounted transit, and accelerating monthly fare-capping, we can put hundreds of dollars directly back into residents' pockets this year. We pay for it by demanding the province fully fund operating shortfalls for regional transit integration, not by nickel-and-diming local riders.

Safety in Public Spaces

Safety requires well-maintained spaces and real human presence. I will prioritize: Environmental Safety: Upgrade lighting across transit paths, parks, and bus shelters, clearing sightlines and funding active community programming. Supportive Transit Presence: Deploy front-line station staff and integrate Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) teams across platforms to de-escalate crises with trained care. Dedicated Spaces: Fund 24/7 supportive housing and drop-ins so transit and parks stop serving as default shelters.

Getting Around the City

I will target gridlock and make travel dependable across every mode: Cut Bottlenecks: Clamp down on overlapping construction closures, fine contractors blocking lanes, and deploy traffic agents to clear chronic intersections. Fast-Track Transit: Restore frequent feeder bus service and expand smart transit-signal priority so buses don't sit trapped in traffic. Safer Streets: Fix neglected, pothole-ridden roads and redesign high-risk intersections with protected pedestrian head-starts to reduce vehicle conflicts.

Confronting Hateful and Hostile Behaviour

I will ensure Toronto remains safe and welcoming through proactive protection and accountability: Protect Community Spaces: Fund security and facility upgrades for places of worship, cultural hubs, and 2SLGBTQ+ centres facing threats or vandalism. Accessible Reporting: Support multilingual, community-based reporting hubs so victims of hate incidents can safely access legal aid and trauma-informed care. Zero Tolerance on City Spaces: Mandate strict enforcement on the TTC and city facilities, with rapid graffiti removal.
