The Local adds that he wants councillors required to live in the ward they represent.
The site’s other priorities are tenant protections and affordable housing, with a larger RentSafeTO program, an end to above-guideline rent increases and support for the City’s acquisition program for affordable housing, safer roads, sidewalks and bike lanes, support for local businesses through a review of licensing fees, and greener main streets. It dates a campaign announcement to August 21, 2026 and a post on bike lanes to September 3, 2026. The Local reports that he opposes the provincial decision to remove bike lanes from Toronto streets.
