Coralia Tudor

Candidate for Councillor Ward 8

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 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?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Tudor would work with developers to convert empty properties into housing — or get them rented as offices — using grants and tools.

Work with developers to convert empty properties into housing or rented offices
Use grants and tools beyond them: city as investor, asbestos abatement team, zoning evaluation
Vacancy tax as a possible punitive measure

“To address empty properties, I will work with developers to either convert their properties into housing, or to offices that they are renting.”

Tudor: housing is a right — a basic apartment affordable on minimum wage, ODSP or OW; convert shopping plazas to mixed-use housing.

Housing is not a privilege, but a right
A basic apartment payable by a single person on minimum wage, ODSP or OW
Work with builders to convert shopping plazas into mixed-use buildings with retailers and housing

“I would like to tackle Affordable Housing, and I would be willing to give up expanding roads, expanding public transit, and my popularity to get it. Housing is not a privilege, but a right. I am not suggesting that it needs to be luxury, but a basic apartment that can be paid for by a single person working minimum wage, on disability (ODSP) or welfare (OW).”

Taxes & spending

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

Opposes charging growth costs to existing taxpayers; new developments self-fund, with fee relief only for homes under $357K.

Asked how to pay for growth fairly, Tudor said the cost of growth should not fall on existing taxpayers: new developments should fund themselves, with development/land-fee relief only for affordable homes (under $357K).
Also opposes punitive vacancy measures in favour of incentives, such as free rent for a year for new downtown businesses.

“I don’t believe that the cost of growth should fall onto existing tax payers. New developments should fund themselves and only affordable homes (under 357K) should receive any form of development or land fee relief.”

Government

Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Tudor: multi-year funding — 'social problems are not quick fixes.'

Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q8: Support multi-year funding & longer-term partnerships (Yes/No + why).

“Yes — Yes, I support multi-year funding. Social problems are not quick fixes and anyone who treats them that way doesn't have a good understanding of sociology, psychology and/or health care. When stability is offered and measurable outcome targets are set and achieved both parties can work toward the longterm societal fixes that are needed.”

Would heavily scrutinize strong-mayor decisions, challenging any that don't put the public interest first.

Asked how Council should respond to strong-mayor powers, Tudor said council should heavily scrutinise the mayor's use of the powers — why they were used and whose interest is served — and challenge decisions not in the public interest.
Would push to rescind such decisions and have council decide collectively.

“I believe that as council we should heavily scrutinize what the mayor does when he uses his/her mayoral powers to see why they did so and whose interest is being served.”

Tudor: create a subcommittee on goals and funding; let nonprofits register as lobbyist groups at no cost.

Pillar Nonprofit Network 2026 candidate survey — Q9: Ensuring nonprofits are included in decision-making.

“Bringing nonprofits to the table is important. Like lobbyist groups, the information that is provided by these frontline organizations is crucial to making the right decisions for our community. I believe the best way to achieve this is by creating both a subcommittee where discussions about goals and funding can be discussed, and perhaps by having groups register as lobbyist groups at no cost. Both of these methods would help nonprofits and charities be heard.”

Roads & infrastructure

Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?

Says build it once and right: no roads that can't handle expected capacity, then rebuild them a decade later.

Asked how to prioritise infrastructure, Tudor said 'do it once and do it right' — don't build a road that can't handle expected capacity only to change it 10 years later.
Calls sewer and wastewater treatment critical spending-priority infrastructure, rejecting partially processed sewage dumped into waterways.

“I don’t believe in spending money more than once on the same thing, do it once and do it right! Do not make a road that can not handle the expected capacity, only to change it 10 years later.”

Economy

Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?

Tudor wants to restore London's sector-leader role in insurance, banking, manufacturing — and now graphic design, gaming, tech, health care.

'My goal is to bring more business to London'
Reprise the sector-leader role: graphic design and game development, technology, health care, environmental technologies
Work with landlords to support new businesses and end downtown vacancies

“My goal is to bring more business to London. Many years ago we were the sector leaders for insurance, banking, oil and gas, manufacturing, and intermediaries. It's time we reprise that role of being sector leaders, whether that is in graphic design and game development, technology, health care, or environmental technologies.”

Environment

Is the candidate protecting the nature we live in?

Would convert shopping plazas to high-density mixed-use with housing above retail, underground parking and green space.

Asked about the climate plan, Tudor said the largest achievable item is rethinking development: minimise sprawl by converting commercial shopping plazas into high-density mixed-use with housing above, parking underground and green space between buildings.
Also favours smart routes and frequency, free or subsidised fares, and green-building measures like smart roofs.

Show their words & source (a few sentences)

“The largest one is rethinking development. We need to think about minimizing urban sprawl responsibly, not by changing existing neighborhoods, but by changing commercial shopping plazas into high density developments where housing is on top, with businesses and commercial stores occupying the lower levels, parking is underground and park/green space is in between.”
