Or, vice versa. The "no tax and u can get everything for free" candidates should all be forced to say:

"This is how much more I will allow city services, programs, maintenance and infrastructure to continue it's decades long, conservative led decline, decay and dilapidation to continue."
Unfortunately, the trick these days is they say they're going to get the Federal and/or Provincial governments to cover the costs. Only one problem, neither of those governments have committed to covering the increasing costs for Toronto.

Bailao and Bradford are in the pockets of developers now, while Saunders always has been.

All three, were Tory lap puppies too.

Makes the choice much easier now. seeing that Bailao, Bradford and Saunders are comprised by their ties with developers and will not really be serving the people of Toronto unequivocally.
Not sure about that. As a former business owner lucky enough to cash out in the past few years, our interactions with Saunders in Toronto did not support the idea he always sides with developers.

For me Saunders is a likable guy but his tenure as Toronto Chief of Police wasn't anything to write home about. He's a weak leader.
Blake Acton is my choice. He finished 4th in the 2022 race with 1.6% of the vote. Despite not being allowed to debate and being shunned by the local media. He's too far 'right' for their liking.
Gotta love democracy eh.

I'm split between Olivia Chow and Anthony Furey. Lol! I know. Furey brings in some fresh ideas, but he won’t win. I think Toronto deserves Chow, a complete moron who will make the city even more expensive, congested, dirty and crime ridden.

Saunders was the failed police chief of Toronto. In that failed capacity he would not have had any land development interactions on an administrative, political and/or governmental level.

Politically speaking. This is the way I view him based on qualified personal experience. If your experience leading to an opinion of him is different than mine, I respect that.

13 years of right-wing ideology created this city that you wail about which is now more expensive, congested, dirty, crime ridden and on the precipice of financial calamity.

And you want more of the same?

Think McFried, think.

I think this will not happen because of the powerful labour unions.

"Brad Bradford announced his plans on affordable housing on May 19, 2023 on Main Street. Photo credit: Krystal Yeung Bradford said his plan would save approximately $200 million annually, which will help close the $1.5 billion budget gap. The savings can then be used to build and better maintain the city’s infrastructure, he said."
