A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 17, 2026 and the campaign website nathenmazri.ca. The City prints the name as Masri, and the website and The Local spell it Mazri. His campaign website says he is an entrepreneur and technology researcher who founded the GarfieldEATS restaurant concept and the licensing technology company eGeez, wrote two books, and has a business administration degree and studied in the University of London's law programme. The Local says GarfieldEATS was a chain of restaurants in Toronto that closed in 2021. These are the campaign's own statements, and voche.me has not checked the degrees, the companies or the books against a public record. Elections Canada's list of candidates for Toronto Centre in the April 28, 2025 general election includes Nathen Mazri of the People's Party of Canada. His website says he ran federally alongside Maxime Bernier and now runs as an independent who answers to no party. The Local reports that he plans to run for Mayor in 2030, and his website says he is considering it. The website's Ward 1 Plan describes Day One Executive Directives that he says he would put forward as council motions: an audit before any utility fee increase, audits of landlords who use the above-guideline increase process (a way for landlords to ask for rent increases above the yearly limit), advocacy to the province and the insurance regulator on car insurance rates in the ward, an urgent care centre for Etobicoke North, and lower business licence costs for new small businesses. The Local reports that he would also limit short-term rentals to one unit per resident. He also pledges to decline the benefit of what the site calls Council's 24 percent pay increase and put the equivalent into a Ward 1 Community Fund. The website calls him a Systems Architect. These are campaign proposals, and voche.me did not check the figures the site quotes. Read the sources 02 / The issues ## Priorities & positions Campaign-source summary Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform. 01 ### Property tax and City costs His website promises property-tax restraint, scrutiny of waste and utility increases, and lower small-business fees. The Local reports that he would roll back recent property tax increases and hold the rate at zero percent for four years. [Nathen Mazri campaign website ](https://www.nathenmazri.ca/) 02 ### Day One Executive Directives His Ward 1 Plan lists five motions he says he would put forward: a Utility Waste Veto, a rent increase audit motion, a car insurance fairness initiative, an emergency care access motion and an Open For Business Zone initiative. [Nathen Mazri campaign website · Ward 1 Plan ](https://www.nathenmazri.ca/ward_1_plan) 03 ### Neighbourhood services and safety His website lists roads, drainage, streetlights, parks, public safety and auto theft, transit reliability, and recreation and youth opportunities. [Nathen Mazri campaign website ](https://www.nathenmazri.ca/) 04 ### Pay increase pledge His website says he would decline the benefit of what it calls Council's 24 percent pay increase and put the equivalent into a Ward 1 Community Fund with a public Transparency Ledger. [Nathen Mazri campaign website · About ](https://www.nathenmazri.ca/nathen_mazri) Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto's list of certified candidates, the home, About, Ward 1 Plan and Media pages of the campaign website he gave the City, Elections Canada's candidate list for Toronto Centre in 2025, and The Local's Ward 1 candidate page updated as of September 21, 2026. The City prints his name as Masri and the website spells it Mazri. The match rests on the website being the one the City lists and on The Local noting the spelling. His platform comes from his website and is written as his campaign's proposals. Gaps. His degrees, companies, books and the restaurant closure were not checked against a public record or the institutions. The Elections Canada page lists candidates and parties and carries no vote counts, so no 2025 result is stated. The website's figures about City spending, utility fees and insurance rates were not checked. His Instagram and X accounts loaded only a page title, so nothing from them is used. The questionnaire has not been sent.
