It’s time for change Toronto

I’ve learned in life that sometimes winners aren’t the loudest in the room but the wisest. The 2018 municipal elections have been loud on many fronts and it challenged every person involved. It has taken a great deal for many of us to make it to election day and I applaud everyone who has chosen…

Let’s Be Real Part 3

We need safer communities. Let’s acknowledge the fact that police in Toronto are understaffed, overworked, and underpaid. Why should a Toronto P.O. deal with triple the size of people and issues when neighbouring towns get paid the same and deal with less? How can we have community care when the city isn’t protecting the men and women that…

Death Political Crawl

Death Political Crawl

Canvasing, promoting my platform, hearing feedback on community issues, while dealing with ward changes has been tough on me and everyone involved. I get asked a lot more about the size of the ward implications for me more than ward issues and how I can help the community. What has it been like to campaign…
