Issue answers

The Mayor and City Council

What's the most important thing you'd act on as a City Councillor, and what experience or strengths would help you make it happen?

I’d make affordability and accountability the priority. I want residents to know their tax dollars are being spent wisely and that City services are actually working for them. As a small business owner and a father of four, I understand the pressure families are facing. I’m used to managing budgets, solving problems, and most importantly, listening to people. I’d bring that same approach to City Hall: listen, find solutions, and follow through.

Housing

Housing costs weigh on Torontonians whether they rent or own, access to subsidized housing is limited, and a growing number of people have no home at all. What would you prioritize on the next City Council to help people find and keep a secure place to live?

Housing needs to be affordable and secure. I would focus on building more affordable and subsidized housing, increasing the supply of homes, and helping people stay in their homes by supporting renters who are at risk of eviction. We also need better support for people experiencing homelessness, including housing, mental health and addiction services. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

Cost of Living

The cost of daily life keeps climbing — housing, transit fares, city fees, etc. What is one thing you would prioritize on the next City Council to make Toronto more affordable, soon enough to matter to residents?

I would start by auditing how the City is spending taxpayers’ dollars. Before asking residents to pay more, we need to know where the money is going, identify waste and unnecessary spending, and make sure City programs are delivering results. My focus would be on getting better value for every tax dollar.

Safety in Public Spaces

Some Torontonians don't feel safe in parks, on transit, or on certain streets, even where reported crime is low. What would you prioritize on the next City Council to help people be and feel safe in the city's public spaces?

I want people to feel safe walking through their neighbourhood, using our parks, and taking the TTC. I’d focus on better lighting, cleaner public spaces, and more visible staff and community presence. We also need to respond quickly when residents report problems. Safety isn’t just about crime numbers. People should actually feel safe where they live.

Getting Around the City

Getting around the city is a source of frustration for many Torontonians, whether people drive, take transit, cycle, or walk. What would you prioritize on the next City Council to improve how people move around the city, however they travel?

I want to make it easier for people to get where they need to go, no matter how they travel. We need to fix our roads, improve TTC reliability, and do a better job coordinating construction so we’re not creating unnecessary traffic. Any changes to our streets also need to consider drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users. We need transportation that actually works for everyone.

Confronting Hateful and Hostile Behaviour

Many Torontonians are concerned about hateful and hostile behaviour, which can disproportionately affect newcomers and members of racialized, marginalized, and equity-deserving communities. What would you prioritize on the next City Council to respond and keep Toronto safe and welcoming for everyone?

I want Toronto to be a city where everyone feels safe, respected, and welcome. I’d focus on preventing hate and harassment, supporting community organizations, and making sure residents know where to get help when something happens. We need to bring people together, listen to our communities, and make sure everyone is treated with respect.
