  • Toronto City Council Enviro Report Card 2010-2014
    TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ENVIRO REPORT CARD 2010-2014 TORONTO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLIANCE • JUNE 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY hortly after the 2010 municipal election, TEA released a report noting that a majority of elected SCouncillors had committed to building a greener city. We were right but not in the way we expected to be. Councillors showed their commitment by protecting important green programs and services from being cut and had to put building a greener city on hold. We had hoped the 2010-14 term of City Council would lead to significant advancement of 6 priority green actions TEA had outlined as crucial to building a greener city. Sadly, we’ve seen little - if any - advancement in these actions. This is because much of the last 4 years has been spent by a slim majority of Councillors defending existing environmental policies and services from being cut or eliminated by the Mayor and his supporters; programs such as Community Environment Days, TTC service and tree canopy maintenance. Only in rare instances was Council proactive. For example, taking the next steps to grow the Greenbelt into Toronto; calling for an environmental assessment of Line 9. This report card does not evaluate individual Council members on their collective inaction in meeting the 2010 priorities because it is almost impossible to objectively grade individual Council members on this. Rather, it evaluates Council members on how they voted on key environmental issues. The results are interesting: • Average Grade: C+ • The Mayor failed and had the worst score. • 17 Councillors got A+ • 16 Councillors got F • 9 Councillors got between A and D In the end, the 2010-14 Council term can be best described as a battle between those who wanted to preserve green programs and those who wanted to dismantle them.

  • Council's Strategic Plan - Part I
    Council's Strategic Plan - Part I (City Council on November 23, 24 and 25, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Policy and Finance Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (November 3, 1999) from the Council Reference Group for the Strategic Plan: Purpose: On October 1, 1998, City Council approved the development of Council's Strategic Plan – a key Council leadership document. Part I of Council's Strategic Plan has been drafted, and is being submitted by the Council Reference Group for Council's consideration. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report. Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council adopt Part I of Council’s Strategic Plan, encompassing Council’s vision, mission and goals as set out in the Appendix to this report, and that this be taken into account by the City’s other planning initiatives including the Official Plan, Social Development Strategy, Economic Development Strategy and Environmental Plan. Comments: The vision, mission and goals represent the first part of Council’s Strategic Plan (appended). The vision statement sets out Council’s collective vision for the city. The mission statement is Council’s statement about the broad role and purpose of the City Government. The goals represent directions that Council can influence and that will influence Council’s decision-making as it strives to improve the quality of life in the city. Council adoption of the vision, mission and goals in Part I of the Strategic Plan will move the process forward with Part II – the development of City Strategies.

  • Who Elected Rob Ford, and Why? an Ecological Analysis of the 2010 Toronto Election
    Canadian Political Science Association Conference, Waterloo, ON, May 2011 Track: Local and Urban Politics Who Elected Rob Ford, and Why? An Ecological Analysis of the 2010 Toronto Election Zack Taylor, MScPl, MA Doctoral Candidate, Dept. of Political Science Graduate Research Associate, Cities Centre University of Toronto zack.taylor @utoronto.ca *** Not for citation without permission *** DRAFT 2011-05-02 The techniques employed in this paper are exploratory and the analysis preliminary. The author welcomes comments and suggestions in order to improve and extend the research. CPSA 2011 / TAYLOR / 1 The 2010 municipal election in the City of Toronto was a watershed in a number of respects. For only the second time since the 1997 amalgamation of the former Metro Toronto municipalities the mayoral race did not feature an incumbent. The victor, councilor Rob Ford, trounced two high profile and well-resourced opponents: former provincial cabinet minister George Smitherman and longtime downtown councilor and deputy mayor Joe Pantalone. Smitherman ran as a centrist, adopting policy positions from both right and left. Pantalone ran as the continuity candidate, proposing to extend the policies of Mayor David Miller, who in seven years in office had presided over an expansion of the City’s budget and had championed government-led solutions to various civic ills, not least traffic congestion, suburban ethnic poverty, and deteriorating public housing. Ford’s platform constituted an almost systematic repudiation of Miller’s legacy. Arguing that the City’s perennial fiscal problems stemmed from excess spending rather than insufficient revenues, Ford pledged to shrink the size of government by eliminating waste and introducing private sector competition to provide services.
