In order to win this Mayoral Election what are your
1) Tax (municipal) Platform.............I will keep Property Tax increase to inflation rate. Save Land Transfer Tax plus Special Transit Levy to build up the Infrastructure Funds.
2) Social Welfare Platform..............I will hold the total social spending increase to inflation rate. It may not be enough to fix the social housing and school nutrition program but priority has to be given to transit improvements.
3) Transit Platform...............I will go ahead and finish Scarborough Subway because the fundings from three levels of Governments are already in place. For short term solution, I will consult with TTC and Karen Stintz to find improvement on rush hour bus service. For longer term solution I will press for DRL fundings from the 2 senior governments plus the local Infrastructure Funds (if the local infrastructure funds isn't enough then construct one DRL station at a time). For long term solution I will leave the decision(s) to the transit experts at Metrolinx.
4) Security and Policing Platform..............I will investigate for higher efficiency including contract-out on the clerical and other security-guard functions.
5) Union and staffing Platform...............I will contract out the garbage collection on the east side of Yonge Street. The union(s) is welcome to bid for the contract(s).
6) Economic Platform............I will investigate to cut red tapes on all tourism activities, including casino at Woodbine Race Track, in order to improve business environments for hospitality industries which in turn enable them to hire more youths and other less fortunate members of our City. In the event of one or more casinos open in Toronto, a special casino levy will be added to our city's Infrastructure Funds.
Those are my platforms and I will not criticize the platforms of the other candidates during any public debates (I will keep reminding the general public my only platforms so that the voters can make an educated decision on the Election Day).
