Rent control prevents raises to rent above the guidelines. So in the case of property tax increases, it's not like rent would go up anymore than they are already. Increased property tax is not a valid reason to seek an above what is allowed increase set by the tenant board.

Not the case near Pearson.

She is way too political in her responses during council meetings, and becomes malicious when a councillor with whom she disagrees asks a question she doesn't like / disagrees with. I don't understand how she has that job (with a 250k salary as per the 2017 sunshine list). It's not her job to...

I've heard through a PC friend that we'll be hearing about some changes next year. My guess was merging public and catholic systems.

In many cities in Ontario, being a "councillor" is a part time gig, so comparing the "number" of councillors in each municipality isn't accurate.

It's the lack of planning for services and infrastructure in the area that is her fault, not the approval of all the condos. She purposefully ignored the needs of the community for things like transit, parks and rec, infrastructure (roads), streetscape, all while going forward with these things...

Kirsty Duncan is a progressive who is very well liked in the community (and received over 60%+ of the vote federally). Not sure what your statement is trying to imply.

Still no DiCiano or Milcyn registered in Ward 5. My guess is Tory might be trying to convince Milcyn not to run to give DiCiano the win, unless there is more info to come related to police investigation with DiCiano. Even if that was the case, I don't know why Milcyn hasn't submitted yet -...

Frances Nunziata is part of Etobicoke - York Community council so not sure how she would have been there or able to vote?

https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/accountability-operations-customer-service/city-administration/city-managers-office/key-intiatives/views-on-new-community-council-boundaries-for-the-city-of-toronto-2/ The new map for the Toronto Community Councils was voted on at the end of June...

What is Yvan Baker doing? Much more credible opponent who would have more of a chance. Interesting thing is that in the provincial election, the west side of Etobicoke-Centre (which includes much of Ward 3) yielded better results for the "progressive" Liberal/NDP vote than the East side of the...

I really like her. I don't live in her ward (I live next door) but have friends in her ward and she's very good at being a constituent representative. She is progressive, but is also very reasonable. I wouldn't put her in the category of the latte-sipping elites. She listens and works with...

Just read parts of the City's report opposing this. They are essentially opposing it because the heights are too high for an Avenue, but do they not realize by doing that they are just giving reason for the developer to set the buildings back and forcing a much more suburban build form than is...

Peter Milczyn leaving a hint on Twitter that he'll be running again: "Just my second visit back to City Council since leaving 4 years ago. I prefer the Modern architecture over Queen's Park" The question is whether it will be Ward 5 or 6. He used to represent Ward 5 at City Hall, but Ward 6...

And the trucks coming from the Food Terminal cause the change in lights - otherwise, the light remains green (north/south along Park Lawn), which ultimately causes problems for vehicles trying to turn left onto the west bound Gardiner, as they don't end up getting the "advance green" left...

Is there any plan for the City of Toronto to annex lands from the Ontario Food terminal to create an exit ramp to the Westbound Gardiner from the right hand lane of North-Bound Park Lawn? Many people in this area work West/North and the left hand turn required to get onto the Westbound Gardiner...

What happened at the LPAT?

I hope Doug will realize how much of a money maker the LCBO is, and will use that as a reason to maintain the status quo for liquor (non-beer) sales.

This is factually inaccurate. Ward 6 (Etobicoke - Lakeshore) is one of the most populated wards in the City, even after the re-draw. It's also adding thousands of new residents annually, and Keesmat's planning growth numbers (which were used as the basis for the ward re-draw) systemically...

Even in fantasyland, single-story industrial decrepit areas over 25km away from union like Disco road get rapid transit before dense, urban built form, only 10km from Union, Humber Bay Shores.
