Daniel Tate appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 13 Toronto Centre. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 22, 2026 and the campaign website votetate.ca.
His Meet Daniel page, the campaign’s own statement, says he has lived in Toronto all his life, graduated from York University with an Honours degree in Political Science and Urban Studies and wrote his undergraduate thesis on the creation of Yonge-Dundas Square. It says he then worked in the private sector managing technology and software projects for large telecommunications and media companies, wrote two books on Toronto’s concert history, and founded IntegrityTO and serves as its executive director. voche.me did not check the degree, the career or the books.
CBC News reported on September 15, 2026 that IntegrityTO is an advocacy group that has called for stricter encampment enforcement and shelter oversight and opposed city renaming projects. In a statement to CBC, Tate said he offers “accountability, transparency, and honesty” and “leadership that isn’t beholden to party ideology.”
CBC News reported on March 22, 2026 that Tate filed one of two complaints with the City’s Integrity Commissioner against Councillor Chris Moise, the incumbent in this race, after an exchange at a budget town hall on January 16, 2025 about the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square. In CBC’s account, the Commissioner found that Moise violated the code of conduct and recommended no penalty. Tate told CBC he was disappointed there was no penalty. Moise told CBC the moment was a “deliberately orchestrated ambush”, and Tate called that account “a complete cop out”. voche.me did not open the report itself.
His Policies and Platform page, the campaign’s own statement, says he supports a zero-tolerance approach to criminal behaviour in public spaces, dedicated Toronto Police patrols on transit, stronger fare enforcement on the TTC, audits of City divisions, hiring and buying based on merit, lower tax burdens on small business where possible and reversing the change of the name of Yonge-Dundas Square. On drugs, it says he rejects the distribution of drug equipment as a response to addiction and supports a recovery-focused approach built on treatment and rehabilitation.
TTCriders’ page of Ward 13 candidate responses lists him as “No Response” to each of its 18 questions. That page is TTCriders’ record.

Daniel Tate · Policies and PlatformEvidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, three pages of his campaign website (home page, Meet Daniel and Policies and Platform), CBC News on the Toronto Centre race and on the Integrity Commissioner’s finding against Councillor Moise, The Local’s Ward 13 tracker and TTCriders’ page of Ward 13 candidate responses. No public office is on record in his profile. The City Clerk’s 2022 declaration of results lists no candidate named Daniel Tate in Ward 13. The sitting Ward 13 councillor on the City’s Members of Council page is Chris Moise, who is also a candidate. The 11 candidates for Ward 13 on the City’s list are Chris Moise, Cleveland Marshall, Curran Stikuts, Daniel Tate, Joe Cadeau, Morgan Harris, Nicki Ward, Norman MacLeod, Tom Cai, Victoria Davis and Walied Khogali Ali. Every statement taken from his campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account.
Gaps. The Local’s tracker gives its own description of IntegrityTO and its online videos, and quotes criticism of the group. voche.me opened no primary record for that criticism and leaves it out. The Integrity Commissioner’s report was not opened. His X and YouTube accounts returned page shells with no readable posts. The questionnaire has not been sent.
CBC News describes him as the executive director and founder of IntegrityTO, an advocacy group. voche.me did not check the dates with the group.
