Title: Toronto Mayor, Who to Vote For?
Post by: Head Administrator on June 24, 2023, 01:16:24 pm
The FMTA has just posted the results of their Mayoral Housing Pledge 2023:

Mayoral Housing Pledge 2023 (https://www.torontotenants.org/housing_pledge_2023)

Another fact to add...  Doug Ford (who is no friend to renters) is strongly endorsing Toronto Chief of Police Mark Saunders for Mayor, and Saunders has promised to lower property taxes to the tune of $1000 per family in Toronto.  However, 47% of the people living in Toronto are renters, and this tax break won't affect renters because their landlords will be the recipients of that tax break.  And one must wonder what social services Saunders will have to cut in order to finance that tax break for the rich?  Don't vote for anyone who is going to make things worse for you!
