Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 17 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Taxes & spending

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Tarriwal's 'Tell the Truth About the Tax Bill' priority promises transparency and respect for taxpayers' money.

  • One of seven platform priorities: 'Tell the Truth About the Tax Bill' — framed around transparency and respect for taxpayers.
  • Core governing principles listed: set clear priorities, make responsible decisions, respect people's money, finish what you start.
  • Detailed costing and first-100-days commitments for each priority were 'still being written' at research time (2026-10-17).

Emergency services

When I call for help, will it come fast enough?

Tarriwal lists public safety reaching business owners as a core priority, including dedicated community patrols with Peel Police.

  • One of seven platform priorities: 'Safety That Reaches the Business Owner' — under the 'Stronger Communities: safer, cleaner, more connected' pillar.
  • Campaign's published commitments include 100 dedicated community patrols partnering with Peel Police on auto theft and illegal street racing (per platform preview materials).
  • Detailed costing and first-100-days commitments were 'still being written' at research time (2026-10-17).

Roads & infrastructure

Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?

Tarriwal committed to wind-row plowing so driveways aren't left blocked by plow-packed snow and ice, alongside a transit priority.

  • Adds wind-row clearing to the platform: after the plow clears the road, the packed wall of snow and ice at the end of driveways would be cleared too — 'No more mountains of ice at the end of your driveway.'
  • One of seven platform priorities: 'Transit You Can Still Catch.'
  • Campaign promises each commitment will be published with the work shown: what it costs, who delivers it, when it starts and how residents can measure it.
