It says she is currently under contract with the Toronto Transit Commission and would end that role if elected, and that she is a member of the Canadian Armed Forces who would take a leave of absence if elected. A disclaimer on the page says her views do not reflect those of the TTC, the Canadian Armed Forces or the Department of National Defence. voche.me did not check these statements with the TTC, the university or the professional body.

Under the heading “Make Every Tax Dollar Count” it lists financial controls, performance measures with published results, protecting City revenue and support for TTC Provincial Offences Officers. Under “Move Toronto Safely” it lists consistent enforcement of rules on e-bikes on sidewalks and more resources for frontline TTC staff. These are the campaign’s statements, and the page names no costs or dates.

Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, its Members of Council page and the Ward 11 councillor’s profile, three pages of her campaign website (home, About and Platform), The Local’s Ward 11 tracker and The Green Line’s Ward 11 guide. The sitting Ward 11 councillor on the City’s Members of Council page is Dianne Saxe. The City’s candidate data records her as withdrawn from Ward 11 on August 21, 2026, and The Local and The Green Line report that she is running in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth instead, so she is not on the Ward 11 ballot. The nine candidates for Ward 11 on the City’s list are Alice Li, Diana Yoon, Gian Pileri, Huy Lieu, Karina Lemke, Keenan Courtis, Mike Layton, Paul Viret and Terri Hawkes. No public office is on record in her profile. Every statement taken from her campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account.
