Together, let's make Toronto sustainable and successful - Let's represent all Torontonians recognizing that one size does not fit all
Help Shape Our Future!
There was a time when people did not live on the streets in Toronto....when people could afford to buy a home here ... when youth could find work. We have been heading in the wrong direction for too long. We need new and bold leadership. I know what we need and I want your support so that we can get there.
Other cities have the revenue tools to fund the services their citizens need. Today, Toronto does not have those tools. It is time to change the fiscal framework. Property taxes cannot fund what this City needs.
Toronto, and for that matter, Ontario, lags behind most jurisdictions on access to information. The essential terms of contracts are often redacted using business confidentiality as the reason. Other places have thrown business confidentiality out the window. They publish the full contract and it has not prevented businesses from seeking to do business with the City. We should be able to see where our money is being spent. If I am Mayor, I will make sure that you get to see not just the fluff, but also the meat and bones of every deal.
Torontonians deserve a transit system that can get them anywhere in this City reliably, efficiently, at a reasonable cost, and, above all, safely. We don't have that today. We can have that tomorrow.
Having the same people deciding on issues year after year is unhealthy. There is a reason corporate boards generally require term limits. It is to prevent stagnation. New people bring new ideas. Fresh outlooks as times change can enhance governance. I support councillor term limits.
No Councillor should sit on multiple Boards with opposing interests. It creates inherent conflicts of interests. Yet it is allowed under current rules. I will work to change this faulty practice.
Toronto needs the tools to meet its service demands. It does not have those tools today. It will tomorrow if new tools are adopted.
All wards need adequate coverage. We do not have that today. Cars can't be eliminated when there are not adequate alternatives.
Publish all contracts in full.
We need holistic solutions not patchwork respite centers. The homeless need homes first, treatment for health and addiction maladies. More jails are not the answer.
Ontario (Toronto included) is far behind best practices regarding conflict of interest rules. It is about time we fixed this.
Toronto can benefit from its economic power much more than it does today. Rather than increase taxes, share in the economic growth the City supports.
Sound governance practices promote healthy rotations in representation.
AI is a tool not to be feared but embraced. It can be used to make efficient what is currently bloated. Service first should be our motto. This does not mean job loss - it means job enhancement.
Growing older in Toronto should mean aging in place, not being pushed out of place. My seniors plan brings care, safe housing, heat protection and real help into the neighbourhoods where seniors already live, and reports publicly every year on what got done.
20% youth unemployment is a disgrace. We can do better. There are proven programs from other jurisdictions. We can better deploy money that is already in the system, using proven success strategies, to shift from band-aid solutions to long-term success. Listen to this narrated presentation to find out how.
In this video, I lay out Capitalizing Youth: a municipally-backed microcredit fund that catches the young entrepreneurs our existing programs train and then abandon at the exact moment they need capital to grow. It's the missing rung between a training grant and a sustainable small business
Violent crime is on the decline - that is what the stats show. Targeted policies are needed to address specific safety issues - already proven solutions. Building more jails is not the answer.
We have the ability to solve homelessness and there is no need to re-invent the wheel. We can take lessons from other cities, apply them and succeed. This presentation shows you how.
Making transit safe, affordable, reliable and efficient. Applying the successes of other cities to get us to where we need to be.
The 2026 Toronto City Budget simply defers payment obligations to artificially lower taxes in an election year. This City needs real revenue solutions. This presentation shows how this City can have a balanced budget and provide the services its citizens want and deserve.
We are not using the equity the City creates to maximize returns. Changes in policy can radically improve the City's revenue picture.
Toronto's cultural sector is growing twice as fast as the rest of the Canadian economy, and on a dollar-for-dollar basis it frequently outperforms direct business subsidies. $29 in economic activity for every $1 of federal arts spending Toronto's cultural sector: 8% annual growth vs. 4% for the broader economy
In this video, mayoral candidate Darrell Brown presents a practical, costed blueprint to help Toronto seniors stay safely in their homes and neighbourhoods, using powers the City already has. He proposes an annual seniors report card, an on-time delivery schedule for City-run long-term care, on-site staff, prompt repairs, cooling rooms and eviction prevention in seniors’ housing. He will focus on 21 aging-in-place priority areas with community paramedicine and public health nursing. He will also focus on Safer streets: filled sidewalk gaps, longer crossing times and rest-stop benches. He will make things simpler with automatic enrolment in property tax and utility relief, a protected senior TTC fare, and a human-answered, multilingual 311 seniors line
Toronto cannot meet its service needs without new revenue and financing tools. This presentation shows how this can be accomplished.
Recent Freedom of Information changes don't address the underlying problems. This presentation explains why.
What the City can do now ... without the province ... to improve transparency.
It is our property. Contracts should be open and accessible.
We have an archaic conflict of interest system. This presentation tells you why and what needs to be done to fix it.
