We've created six fact sheets to highlight key issues this election.
On October 26, Vote for Affordability for All
No one should have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. Yet for too many people, the high cost of living and inadequate incomes make that choice a daily reality. Toronto's municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders who will act to reduce poverty, improve affordability, and strengthen community well-being.
On October 26, Vote for Climate for All
Toronto’s climate emergency is ramping up, deepening pre-existing inequities across the city. The upcoming municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders who will prioritize affordability and reliability within City-led climate responses.
On October 26, Vote for Economy for All
Toronto’s economy should work for everyone and build community wealth. Yet Toronto remains one of Canada’s most unequal cities. Many working class families are struggling to get by, while people with higher incomes have more access to wealth and opportunity. The City of Toronto, which is Toronto’s largest employer, must tackle wealth inequality by leveraging its role as an employer, purchaser, builder, funder, and policy maker. Toronto’s upcoming municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders that will create good, green, living-wage jobs, address social, racial, and gender inequities, and build community wealth in every neighbourhood.
On October 26, Vote for Housing for All
Affordable and accessible housing remains out of reach for many Toronto residents, despite recent investments. Rising rents, a shortage of affordable, accessible, and supportive housing, and poor housing conditions are hurting tenants. Toronto’s upcoming municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders that will act on the housing crisis.
On October 26, Vote for Transit for All
The Ontario government’s takeover of local transit decision making is putting TTC services and affordability and accessibility measures at risk. The City has taken important steps to improve public transit services and address affordability. The TTC Board has more work to do and needs the authority to do that work. Toronto’s upcoming municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders that will improve public transit, protect transit riders, and fight for local, democratic control of the TTC.
On October 26, Vote for Wellbeing for All
Everyone has the right to be safe and well in our city—yet many communities remain underserved and at risk. Toronto police data demonstrate systemic discrimination in policing, particularly of Black, Indigenous, and racialized people. The drug poisoning crisis is claiming lives, while access to care has been cut. Toronto’s upcoming municipal election is an opportunity to elect leaders that will support proven, community-based approaches and advance health equity.
