The TTC must stay publicly owned and municipally governed — accountable to riders, not privatized and not run by Queen’s Park or Metrolinx for local fare and service decisions. I will fight Bill 98 and any move that strips Toronto of final authority over fares, service, and operations. Operating and capital dollars should come from senior governments that can tax extreme wealth — tax the billionaires and corporations that can pay — so riders are not the cash cow. City tools I control (including a commercial parking levy and clear books) back reliable service; I will press Ottawa and Queen’s Park hard for operating and capital funding so we stop balancing the TTC on fare hikes.
