 VOTE 

 Darren Atkinson for Mayor of Toronto

#DAmayor

We will rebuild the core services of Toronto together in a fiscally sound way so that every day life is just not about financial survival. 

Darren's dozen

1. Seniors Healthcare Assistance  

Grant tax breaks to seniors who own their own home up to the full value of property tax. 


2. Advocate and Provide Higher Education for Front Line Officers 

Provide funding to train existing officers in negotiation, crisis de-escalation strategy and mental health awareness. 


3. Foreign Property Investment Tax 

Create a city levy of 20% to reflect the real financial headroom foreign investors receive from US dollars.


4. Create an Indigenous Park     

Create an Indigenous park, which will be curated and guided by Indigenous communities as we seek reconciliation.


5. Financial Support for Neighborhoods 

Provide resident and community approved micro loans for small business and non profit organizations that serve the local community and anchor neighborhoods in each ward.


6. Workers Rights and Good Corporate Citizenship  

The money-making gig economy needs to share in the responsibility toward citizens, workers and the safety and welfare of all people of Toronto as good corporate citizens. 


7. Rent Control Through Permit Control  

Control rents on a building permit level so that developers must be good corporate citizens and replace the same number of low cost units they tear down while profiting from the increased density granted.


8. Value for Your Tax Dollars  

Introduce performance clauses, including timelines, in contracts we issue subcontractors and pursue penalties if not met. 


9. Traffic and Transit Reform 

Harmonize all street-level TTC vehicles to be one type of bus (electric or hybrid) to lower our carbon footprint while we phase out streetcars except tourist lines as San Francisco has. 


10. Uniform Public Waste Management 

Make garbage pickup across the City uniformly run by the City of Toronto.


11. End of Term Motion with Integrity 

As the chair of council, the mayor needs to ensure there is not a disproportionate number of approvals and permits issued in the months leading up to municipal elections.  


12. Harder Negotiation with the Province

With the savings outlined in my platform, we will have more power to negotiate with the Province.
