Yes, with conditions. More housing where infrastructure and neighbourhood capacity support it, with good design, family housing and protection of established communities.

Compassion requires a real alternative. Once safe, accessible and appropriate indoor accommodation is available, public parks should return to public use.

Torontonians are already overtaxed. Fix traffic through synchronized signals, better transit, road design and technology—not another bill for getting to work.

Audit spending, eliminate waste (like that $10.98million in unused software costs) and prioritize existing revenues first. Toronto should also pursue its fair share from other governments before raising household costs. Audit first, increase last.

Absolutely. Every major project should have a public dashboard showing budget, timeline, delays, change orders and measurable progress. Taxpayers deserve receipts. As proposed in my Toronto OS! Transparency is Trust!

My Harmony & Safe Communities Motion uses CPTED: smarter lighting, safer parks, better sightlines, sanitation and active public spaces. Bio Harmony Toronto™ designs safer communities before problems happen.

Toronto OS demands outcomes before automatic budget growth. Protect frontline policing and response capacity, measure results, and redirect resources toward the highest-risk neighbourhoods and emerging threats.

I support smart technology for public safety, but AI and surveillance must never become God. Set strict retention, access, auditing and sharing rules. Technology serves people—not the other way around.

Toronto OS starts with making what we already have work. Improve frequency, reliability and connections first, while using smarter signals and data to move buses faster. Expansion remains important. Before City Hall sells another transportation dream, Toronto OS should make today's system work.

My Smart Mobility Plan prioritizes emergency response, accessibility, trades and the movement of goods when space is constrained—while using Toronto OS traffic technology to keep transit and general traffic moving.

Toronto needs housing built, not trapped in process. Parallel reviews, faster approvals, lower city-imposed costs and smart technology can turn applications into homes sooner.

City Hall should unlock supply, accelerate approvals and remove unnecessary barriers while partnering strategically where the market cannot adequately serve vulnerable residents.

Build density where mobility can support it: major corridors, rapid transit and appropriate commercial areas. Growth should be ambitious, infrastructure-aligned and well designed.

My Build Faster plan applies Toronto OS to permitting: automate routine pre-screening, run departmental reviews concurrently where possible and establish clear timelines. Less waiting means lower carrying costs and faster homes.

Toronto OS means professional project management with public dashboards tracking budgets, schedules, change orders and outcomes. Identify overruns early—not after taxpayers receive the final bill.

Toronto OS is outcome-driven, not ideological about who delivers a service. Use competitive outside providers when they demonstrably deliver better value, while keeping strong contracts, audits and public accountability.

Toronto OS starts with productivity, waste reduction and service modernization before asking households for more. My goal is property-tax restraint while protecting essential frontline services.

Of these three choices, I prefer growth-related revenue over new recurring taxes or road tolls on working households. But Toronto OS prioritizes savings and economic growth before creating new revenue tools.

Fix what we own before building what we cannot maintain. Toronto OS would prioritize state-of-good-repair, rank projects by urgency and value, and avoid expanding the infrastructure backlog.

ALIGN. means working with whoever can deliver for Toronto. Partner with Queen’s Park where it brings funding, housing, transit or infrastructure—while challenging the Province when Toronto’s interests require it.

If strong-mayor powers exist, their strongest case is breaking genuine housing bottlenecks and accelerating responsible supply—not bypassing Council simply to raise taxes or expand spending.

Ward 1 first: Auto-Insurance Postal Fairness, answers on 3.75% utility hikes, renter protection, safer streets, cleaner public spaces, better soccer/recreation and Bio Harmony Toronto™—especially where gun violence persists.

Judge me by delivery, not speeches. My Toronto OS Ward Dashboard will publicly track campaign commitments, constituent requests, response times and measurable progress throughout the term.

Cycling belongs in a Smart Mobility system, but not every street needs the same solution. Complete approved projects, measure safety, ridership and congestion, then expand where evidence supports it.

Freedom of expression is fundamental, but your freedom ends where you cause harm to others. Protect peaceful protest with clear rules while guaranteeing access to hospitals, transit, roads and essential institutions.

Toronto OS begins at the front door: faster permits, licences, payments and trackable service requests. My 24/7 Constituency Concierge model uses technology for intake while humans remain accountable.

Toronto OS: audit first, taxpayer last. Start with duplication, administration, procurement, contracts and technology costs before cutting frontline services or reaching into residents’ pockets again.

My Open for Business initiative means faster permits, inspections and approvals. Time is money for entrepreneurs. Toronto should make opening and growing a legitimate business easier—not become another obstacle.

Investment follows a city that works. Housing, mobility, safety, cleanliness and quality of life come first. My Entergagement Toronto™ vision then uses events and experiences to make Toronto a year-round destination.

Build Faster: encourage modular construction, prefabrication and modern building methods while Toronto OS modernizes approvals. We need to build more housing with less delay and greater productivity.

Bio Harmony Toronto™ starts with fundamentals: clean streets, maintained parks, trees, sidewalks, lighting and public spaces residents are proud of. Transformative projects mean little if the basics are neglected.

Entergagement Toronto™: make it easier to create markets, performances, nightlife, cultural events and experiences through simpler permits and sensible rules—while protecting safety and neighbourhoods.

Toronto OS welcomes innovation with accountability. Require transparent collision, trip, congestion and curb-use data so Toronto can measure real-world performance before deciding what additional rules are justified.
