Joe Cadeau 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 May 6, 2026 and the campaign website votejoecadeau.ca.
His About page, the campaign’s own statement, says he began in sales for the Ontario Lottery Corporation, moved to managing carriers for the Toronto Star and was later Vice President at Konica Minolta, overseeing Canada’s national dealership program. It says he received an MBA from Athabasca University at the age of 55, followed by a Certificate in Mediation and Conflict Resolution from York University. voche.me did not check these with the employers or the schools.
His home page says he has lived in Ward 13 for 15 years, volunteers at the food bank and meals program at St. Bartholomew’s Church, was a member of the Ward Council for Toronto Centre and the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association until he decided to run, served as the community liaison for the Bond Street Shelter, and is Treasurer and a board member of the MET condominium. The Local reports the same volunteer roles in its own words. voche.me did not check them with those organizations.
His platform page, the campaign’s own statement, names two City housing projects in the ward, at 502-508 Parliament Street and 233 Carlton Street, and says they ran over time and over budget, with the Parliament Street project 100 percent over budget and the Carlton Street project growing from $3.7 million to over $13.5 million. These are the campaign’s figures and voche.me did not check them against City records. The page says that as Councillor he would have his office track major projects and tell residents about changes to timelines and budgets.
The same page says he would propose a freeze on pay increases for non-union City staff earning over $150,000 a year, vote against any increase in councillor salaries or benefits, and explore community alternatives to increased policing. His campaign’s home page still carries placeholder text in a section headed “How we are committed to you”, and voche.me did not use that text.
His Bluesky account shows one post, dated August 14, 2026, about his first donation, first volunteer and first confirmed voter. TTCriders’ page of Ward 13 candidate responses lists him as “No Response” to each of its 18 questions. That page is TTCriders’ record.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
His platform page says he will have his office track major projects in the ward, hold contractors responsible when budgets run over and explain to residents where tax money is spent.
The page names two housing projects and gives cost figures. These are the campaign’s statements and were not checked.
His platform page says he will hold joint meetings with business improvement areas and residents’ associations, consult the public before decisions that affect the community, and hold open sessions outside business hours.
Joe Cadeau · My Focus for Ward 13His platform page says he will propose a pay freeze for non-union City staff earning over $150,000, vote against councillor pay increases, and work with residents on community safety alternatives to increased policing.
These are the campaign’s own commitments, and the page gives no costs for the safety proposals.
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, three pages of his campaign website (home page, About Joe and the platform page), his Bluesky account, 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 Joe Cadeau 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 project budget figures and the salary figures on his platform page are the campaign’s and were not checked against City records. His Facebook and other accounts were not opened. CBC News and The Green Line name him among the candidates and report nothing from him. The questionnaire has not been sent.
His About page says he oversaw Canada’s national dealership program. voche.me did not check the title or the dates with the company.
