THE BIG BAN THEORY: Anything gas-powered -- from lawn mowers to stoves -- could be off-limits if mayor-elect Chow and squad of progressives have their way Via brianlilley topoli
There are, though, the promises that Chow was elected on, such as making Toronto the biggest property developer in the country. She wants the city to build and own 25,000 additional affordable housing units.
Given the city’s track record managing the more than 40,000 housing units through Toronto Community Housing, that doesn’t seem like a good plan. Still, Chow and her team will persist in pushing this plan forward.Chow was elected with the full backing of activist group Progress Toronto, a group firmly on the radical left.
They want to end city services delivered by private contractors, such as garbage collection, and return that work to the city’s unions. They also call for the city to start its own high speed internet company to make internet prices lower, while it would be nice to see lower bills, it’s unlikely the city could achieve this goal.
There are the calls to reduce speed on the city’s roads, to make more room for bike lanes and less room for cars as new roads are built. And of course, calls to push for the decriminalization of all drugs like heroin and fentanyl, something that is bringing about horrific results in British Columbia right now.
