This election, the future of our city is at stake. We are facing a fiscal crisis that could put us further and further behind where we need to be. Without real changes to the funding model to help the City create sustainable solutions for congestion, affordability, public safety, and homelessness, we will not be able to live up to our potential as a great place to live and an attractive market for investment.
We need a leader who deeply understands the obstacles to maintaining our long-admired high standard of living and can focus our available budget on issues within the City’s mandate while pushing for a sustainable financial future.
Large cities like Toronto have insufficient sources of revenue.
The nation’s economic engine urgently needs a reboot. The City cannot continue to deliver services that benefit the region without appropriate funding from other orders of government.
Torontonians and our business community want the successful candidate for Mayor to understand what’s at stake and serve with a passion to make Toronto a city that works for all.
The Chief Executive for a multi-billion-dollar business must demonstrate they have the right mix of knowledge, skills, and experience to lead an organization into a successful future for its employees and customers.
The next Mayor of Toronto, overseeing a budget of $21 billion, must do the same.
