I want to see a city where people don't need to buy a car just to avoid a 2 hour bus commute, but still spend over an hour in traffic gridlock. Public transit should be a viable option, that is accessible to all residents, and people commuting by car should only have to spend 30 minutes on the road to get end to end in the city.”

“Flood resilience and sewer separation. I will commit to accelerating combined sewer separation and expanding residential flood protection programs like backwater valves and sump systems. We have had the 2022 derecho and the 2026 Canada Day storm caused $439 million in insured damage. Basements flooded. Families lost savings. And we are still moving too slowly. I will prioritise the most flood-prone neighbourhoods first, secure federal and provincial infrastructure funding, and pay for it through progressive revenue tools, not property tax hikes on working families. Protecting homes is not glamorous. It does not get ribbon cuttings. But it is the most direct way a councillor can protect the people they represent. That is my commitment.”
