We understand that the full letter is relatively long, which is the reason for this summary. We appreciate your interest and value your time. You have many public service responsibilities. But the issues arising from this unprecedented incident are of a “life and death” nature. They are of great importance to not only those who use the TTC subway system but to all Toronto residents and taxpayers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just after midnight on Friday, June 12, 2020, south of Osgoode Station, near Queen and University, a catastrophic collision of two moving TTC subway trains was averted by the instantaneous response of the two-person crew on one of those trains – the “pocket” train. The Subway Guard at the rear of the pocket train saw that they were about to crash into a passenger train going northbound on the mainline track at regulation speed. He urgently alerted the Operator (the “Driver”) in the front car to “STOP!” their train, which had been unclearly (according to an external investigation commissioned by the TTC) directed by TTC Transit Control to merge onto the mainline track.

Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Dear Mr. Mayor, I’m writing to you because Toronto’s transit system is facing disruptive service cuts and layoffs unless you fight for immediate emergency financial support from your counterparts in Ottawa and at Queen’s Park. As you know, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is being pushed past its financial breaking point and facing a steep $90 million drop in monthly revenue because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The TTC is now planning to temporarily lay off 1,200 of its essential workers, including 1,000 Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 113 members. A lack of urgency from senior levels of government to shore up municipal finances and provide emergency financial support has brought us to the brink. As the President of ATU Local 113 representing 12,000 TTC workers, I can assure you that this is a serious problem for our public transit system. Make no mistake – the announced layoffs mean service cuts for Torontonians. These cuts have consequences for essential, low-income workers who depend on the TTC to get to work at hospitals, nursing homes, grocery stores and pharmacies.

  • Post Election Analysis
    Post Election Analysis 2018 MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The Municipal Campaign season kicked off across Ontario on May 1, 2018 and for what turned The Political Landscape out to be a somewhat sleepy campaign, as far as the history of campaigns go, there were a few significant twists and turns along the way before Election Day on October 22, 2018. 2018 MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS Yes, I am talking about the restructuring of Toronto City Council from the newly implemented Ward 47 Structure that was already somewhat confusing due to ward realignments from the previous 44 ward structure to ultimately the cutting of Council in half, to 25 wards, that match the current Provincial and Federal boundaries. Let’s just say this move by the Province wasn’t without fanfare from both proponents and opponents alike with protests and soap boxing occurring namely from the left/progressive side of Council who felt disenfranchised as the 47 Ward model played in favour of their candidates. It should be noted that yes, the boundaries are bigger and yes, municipal politics is the most direct form of politics, lending itself to more work due to its grassroots nature, this realignment still allowed for democracy to take place. Citizens could still register to run as candidates and the general public still had choices on the ballot and were able to vote. The 25 Ward Structure actually pitted many long term incumbent Councillors against one another dissolving some incumbency but at the same time created a playing field for those currently running to become future incumbent politicians, at least for the next decade.

We collectively represent approximately 600 small and medium sized businesses and property owners. As one of our local businesses put it: “Commercial rent remains one of the most significant expenses that small and medium sized businesses have in a given month - and also a factor that is a ‘make or break’ deciding factor as to whether we can continue keeping our business alive”. We would like to provide recommendations toward Bill 204 as follows: • RENT ABATEMENT: CECRA program needs to be retired and a new, improved rent abatement scheme needs to replace it - one that is more equitable and does not pit landlords against tenants and leave the success of a tenant up to the goodwill of a landlord.
