Someone who actually takes the TTC and biking infrastructure . Politicians should be required to use public transportation to really see the impact cuts have in the city and how underfunded the infrastructure is .

I know! I'm a Crossing Guard and have to go down to work and back 3 times each day; the pot holes are like an obstacle course. I can't believe how horrible the roads are. It's a bad joke. We need someone to stand up to Doug Ford's destruction. His cuts to health care, education and downloading services to municipalities has made dities unsafe, violent, unfriendly and just plain horrrible. Trudeaus' lack of vision hasn't helped.

@@SonicPhonic do what? It’s the federal and provincial government’s’ responsibilities to combat Covid crisis as the city can’t get into debt. City of Toronto does not issue municipal bonds, province and fed do. Ontario has paid its share but TruDoped dodges as Freeloader can never get her budget approved by the parliament. Learn your politics please if you’re a legit voter of any government. Btw, freeloader’s answers to senate was ridiculous in why she gave 2bn away to her friends in “environmental cause.” Fed corruption is causing all municipalities to suffer.

Now you got elected as Mayor ( Olivia Chow ). The best solution to build homes ( low income and refugees ) is to send notices to OLG and other gambling houses operating in Toronto to donate 20% of their profits to City of Toronto, it could count as charities or whatever. No need for you to raise property taxes, this money will cover all your projects. Currently they might be donating to Ontario and federal, if you put a condition like this they will comply.

It's difficult to bike slowly beside someone and have a conversation.

That system is useless. It blocks traffic, it's constantly having to be repaired .... too many councillors clinging to this romantic notion of the streetcar... ugh we should have 30 yrs ago invested into more subways. Before 1 building was built near the skydome Roger's centre, they had an easy place to start building a subway west but Olivia Chow, and then Adam Vaughan, thought ohhhh streetcars will service these people. Tens of thousands on the streetcar? Seriously? The King st Streetcar only thing is a joke. OH boy look we gained 2 minutes across downtown Toronto by screwing drivers and trucks!! Wake up Toronto, put your big kid pants on. Olivia will jack your taxes up, plow money into useless projects like public housing ghettos and do nothing for the common citizen.
