Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
01
Transit
His website says he would build more subways, replace streetcar routes with subways over 20 to 30 years, and make the TTC free. It names the funding: savings from not collecting fares, higher parking permit and meter rates, a 25 to 50 percent sales tax on public parking lot fees, and a yearly TTC service fee of $500 to $1,000 per household.
His website proposes that the City sell its community housing and surplus land, invest the money, and use the income for rent vouchers paid to private landlords. It says he would start on a voluntary basis and cap the program at the income the fund earns.
His website proposes a rule of two car lanes on all arterial roads, removing parking on them, and keeping bike lanes only where room is left or where demand is high.
His website proposes serviced camper-trailer parks on vacant land to replace tent encampments, low-cost shelters in vacant office buildings, and mandatory intervention for people with addiction and mental health conditions.
His website says he would run City services with a customer service approach, with feedback and ratings, and would cut City expenditures by as much as 15 percent. It also says he would lobby for a City capital gains tax of 5 to 10 percent on investment property sales.

Gaps. The website names no employer for his career, and voche.me found no independent record of it. The pages on densification, population, other policies and the small stuff were not read. The Facebook and Instagram accounts linked from his website were not opened. A web search for his name and free TTC returned The Local and his own website, and no news report with his own words. No public role is on the profile. The questionnaire has not been sent.
His campaign website says he has a business degree and more than 20 years of senior experience in finance and accounting in technology industries. It names no employer. voche.me found no other source for this.
