Bradford talks about how culturally relevant programming is so important in a city as diverse as this.We are getting into transit. Matlow would reverse the cuts, Chow asks people if they took transit here tonight and if they worried if they'd be late. Lots of nods. She'd also reverse the cuts and they need the province and feds to pay the bill. Bradford said transit has to be safer noting someone set off a firework on a bus last week. The transit system is in"chaos.
Saunders says Scarborough is mostly minorities and they rely on transit as a lifeline. He has the best plan for security because he is the chief of police “so I don't need to go any further on that.” Hunter says she's run on Scarborough transit every election and supported the subway there . She'd start the subway at 5:30 am not 6 am to help shift workers as well. —Matlow's now rallying against “stupid” transit cuts. Former mayor John Tory’s first strong mayor budget included aand service cuts to the TTC proposed by city staff and approved by the TTC board. Councillors didn’t vote to approve the budget under the new rules and the changes came into effect earlier this year.
