Please describe one concrete policy, program, or decision you would support to address both encampments and permanent housing.candidate's own words

Establish a legal framework for the non-consensual mandatory detention and treatment of individuals with severe additions, similar to Alberta's Compassionate Intervention Act

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on housing?candidate's own words

NO corporation or individual landlord shall be allowed to demolish, imperil or remove any permanent, low income housing in order to build larger, more expensive housing.

• Maintain current street design standards

1. Prioritize expanding coverage area
2. Prioritize maximizing operational efficiency
3. Prioritize lower-cost or incremental transit improvements
4. Use transit to shape land use
5. Invest in rapid transit to anchor growth

Yes, but roads should take priority; sidewalks cleared after

No, maintain the current fare structure

Please describe one criterion or principle that should not be compromised when making transit investment decisions.candidate's own words

Return on Investment cost expressed in hard dollar values to the taxpayers should not be compromised when making transit decisions. Reassess usage annually (bike lanes, buses, i-on, etc) and cut services where usage does not warrant the expense.

Please name one specific street, corridor, or project where you would prioritize these changes.candidate's own words

Increase public transit to all townships

Describe one concrete policy, incentive, or decision you would prioritize to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Where possible, explain how it balances environmental goals with fiscal responsibility.candidate's own words

If you want to stop climate change, stop buying products from China. China and India contribute exponentially more to greenhouse gas emissions than Canada. Otherwise - place a moratorium on ALL construction for the next 10 years. The only way to be truly net-zero is to stop building and covering prime farmland with concrete and asphalt. A low-carbon building will NOT make up for the green space that was destroyed to create it.

1. Develop a local food strategy, including research on how land-use change affects the food system
2. Leave local food livelihoods to the private market
3. Promote and support low-barrier spaces for local producers to distribute and sell food
4. Partner with other levels of government to develop local food hubs that reduce costs and barriers for small businesses
5. Encourage and support local landowners to rent to newcomer farmers

Please describe one concrete policy, program, or decision you would support to strengthen the local food system.candidate's own words

No zoning changes will be permitted on any land already zoned agricultural

Other priority not listed abovecandidate's own words

stop destroying farmland!!!

1. Limit outward growth unless full lifecycle infrastructure
2. Require detailed cost and risk analysis before approving
3. Prioritize infill and intensification where infrastructure
4. Use development phasing tied to infrastructure capacity
5. Proceed with outward growth to address housing supply

Describe one concrete zoning, planning, or development decision you would support (or oppose) that reflects how you would balance these priorities.candidate's own words

Oppose the addition/expansion of urban employment lands in rural townships.

Please describe one concrete example of a growth or infrastructure decision you would support or oppose using this approach.candidate's own words

Veto all settlement boundary expansions

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on growth?candidate's own words

A continued, balanced reduction of immigration at the Federal level will reduce the demands on land, food, education and health. We're already seeing an increase in the availability of rental units (and resultant reduction in rent costs) due to the cap on foreign students. Let's free ourselves from the misconception that we have to endanger our resources, prime farmland, water, etc. so more people can live here. There are other places to live in Ontario.

What can the municipality/region do, if anything, about land which sits vacant for years because it is being used as an investment (land banking)?candidate's own words

Vacant land is beautiful land. Keep it that way!

It should be more transparent and accessible

Please describe one concrete example of a trade-off you would support (or oppose) when costs rise faster than revenues.candidate's own words

Cut all non-essential, non-core programs such as DEI. That should save about $11million annually. Under Ken Seiling and Mike Murray, there were 8 staff in the CAOs office, Under Karen Redman and Bruce Lackner, that ballooned to 30 staff, the majority of which were associated with very costly DEI staff positions pandering to special interest groups.

Would you like to provide any additional context for your views on budgets?candidate's own words

Significant cost projects (new builds) must go to the public on a referendum. It's our money, we have the right to decide how it's spent.

If you chose "It should be more transparent and accessible", please describe how.candidate's own words

All councillors should have access to Crystal Reports, not just the final, massaged numbers produced by Finance. All motions before Council that have budgetary impact shall consist of three options (option A: high cost, high impact, Option B: low cost, low impact, Option C: do nothing pro/con). That allows for more informed voting, not just rubber stamping a final report with an outcome that has already been predetermined by staff.
