Bailão, the former three-term Davenport councillor, said her ultimate aim is to "make life easier and more affordable" for residents.Securing "predictable and sustainable funding" from the provincial and federal governments so the city can start to fill its $1.5-billion budget hole. Bailão says she is the best candidate to handle that negotiation given her experience at city hall.
Convincing the province to take over maintenance costs of the Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway, something Premier Doug Ford has repeatedly rejected. Bailão said she will not take no for an answer. Keeping property taxes at or below the rate of inflation. Bailão says "people are struggling" and the city cannot tax or cut its way out of its budget deficit.
Getting shovels in the ground on affordable homes and possibly re-tendering contracts if construction is too slow.and increasing the footprint of rental zoning to encourage new purpose-built rental housing.Ana Bailão makes her pitch to be Toronto's next mayoris conducting one-on-one interviews with the six leading candidates for the city's top job over the next two weeks. CBC Toronto is also set to host a debate between those candidates on June 6.
