CBC Toronto asked every mayoral candidate six key questions about why they're running and what direction they'd take the city in. Here are their responses.
: "In the past year, I have worked closely with communities around the world to create healthier cities where people of all ages and abilities can live fulfilling lives. About 25 per cent of all my city-building work is done pro bono. In recent months I have worked with leaders in Krakow, Poland, in Mexico City, Spain and various cities across North America, including a few weeks designing public spaces in low-income areas of Mexico City to make them more pedestrian-friendly.
: "Losing control of number of councillors, transit planning, and development management to the province.": "The city council's biggest failure is failing to create affordable homes. It has been known for many years that housing affordability is a growing and serious problem in Toronto, yet actions to address this issue has been inadequate. Consequently, people trying to buy homes, people living in a rented space, and others are suffering because of it.
: "The city should take an aggressive stance in creating affordable housing as a government. The city is made to help everyone in Toronto, not just the wealthy developers. We have a student, senior, low-income, refugee and immigrant population that is dependent on rental housing, especially international students. But houses should first and foremost be for living in, and secondly as an investment.
