Guest Contributor

June 1, 2023 – (TORONTO, ON) – Trailblazing mayoral candidate Giorgio Mammoliti is taking a decisive stand for Toronto’s seniors.

Today, he unveiled a pioneering plan to abolish property taxes for homeowners over the age of 80, reinforcing his commitment to keeping seniors in their homes for as long as possible.

“Families before politics, that’s our motto,” Mammoliti firmly stated. “Our seniors shouldn’t live in fear of being taxed out of their homes during their golden years. Today, we put an end to the oppressive ‘Tory Taxes’ with a policy designed to safeguard our elderly.”

Barton Street East Hamilton voted CAA Worst Road 2023

Guest Contributor

The votes are in, and the CAA Worst Road for 2023 is Barton Street East in Hamilton. Barton Street’s persistent issues with potholes and severe alligator cracking in the pavement have led to its dubious distinction. The road first appeared on the top 10 list in 2019 and has steadily climbed its way to the top now for the second year in a row.

Taking the second and third place spots are roads that at one point have also crowned the top of the list, Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto and County Road 49 in Prince Edward County.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation presented its 25th annual Teddy Waste Awards to the governor general for racking up sky-high bills for airplane food; the Quebec government’s app that made people line up for hours; and, a Charlottetown councillor who built her driveway around a power pole and charged taxpayers for moving it.

“Governor General Mary Simon’s bill for airplane food on one trip was almost double the prime minister’s grocery bill for the whole year and, for that amazing accomplishment, she’s winning a Teddy Award,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF.

Candidate Rob Davis irked by restrictive debate format

Rita Smith

TORONTO, ON – Mayoral candidate Rob Davis – Toronto’s first Black city councillor and a three-term council member – today called on the city’s civic organizations and media to ensure equitable access to debate platform exposure on a wide range of issues.

“Toronto has a diverse population with wide-ranging interests and priorities.  For democracy to thrive, it’s important that our public discourse affords equitable exposure to ideas from candidates reflecting the regions and communities that make up our city – and not just ideas from perceived front-runners,” said Davis.

Davis issued the call after the Toronto Region Board of Trade and TVO informed candidates of a restrictive format for their May 25th debate that gives an unfair advantage to sitting councillors and other candidates who have high name recognition in the early stages of the campaign.

Statement by the Prime Minister on World Press Freedom Day

“Today, we express our gratitude to the journalists who continue to report the facts, give a voice to the voiceless, and often put themselves at risk to deliver timely and accurate information to the world, including those covering Russia’s ongoing, brutal invasion of Ukraine. We stand in solidarity with journalists in Iran who are facing brutal repression and severe restrictions for covering the Iranian regime’s crackdowns on protests. We also recognize the brave work of journalists in Sudan and other conflict areas around the world, who are keeping the world updated on conflicts and the horrifying impacts they are having on people.
