Ten people are on the Toronto mayoral ballot for the October 26 election. CP24 published profiles of four of them on October 23, 2026, each speaking about what they would do as mayor.

[Laura Dean](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/laura-dean), a municipal and land-use planning lawyer, told CP24 she wants to treat homelessness as an emergency with a coordinated government response and measurable targets. She also said she wants to keep property-tax increases near the rate of inflation in her first year and improve how the city coordinates construction and road work to reduce congestion.

[Darrell Brown](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/darrell-brown), former CEO of the Canadian National Exhibition, told CP24 that Toronto needs 100,000 publicly supported housing units. He described a homes-first approach, with stable housing as the starting point before addressing addiction and mental health needs. Brown also said the city must raise money from sources beyond property taxes, including congestion pricing.

[Roberto Curto](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/roberto-curto), who is 29, told CP24 he wants to expand streetcar and bus service and pilot overnight subway service on Friday and Saturday nights, so people have a transit option instead of paying for rideshare rides. He also wants to expand discounted transit passes for lower-income residents and seek a city charter that would give Toronto more power to raise its own revenue.

[Cory Deville](/on/toronto-2026/candidates/cory-deville) told CP24 he wants to repurpose underused buildings by converting two- and three-storey homes into self-contained micro-apartments for people who need housing. He also proposes monthly competitions for young entrepreneurs, offering non-dilutive grants of 5,000 to 25,000 dollars.
