Mayoral candidate Mark Saunders on Thursday urged others who are running to get in line behind him in order to "stop Olivia Chow,” but the appeal is drawing little enthusiasm.
“Saunders invites all voters, including the other candidates, to join in this campaign and work together to STOP Olivia Chow,” his press release reads. He claimed Chow would defund police and raise taxes by 25 per cent, while he would hire more officers.Chow has said she believes in “moderate” and “not huge” property tax increases in order to pay for programs like building more affordable housing. She has declined to give an exact number for the increase, saying it doesn’t make sense to do so until the city’s needs are assessed through a budget process.
Earlier in the day Chow announced that as mayor she would offer greater support to renters to prevent renovictions. She said many of the problems facing the city have complex roots which could be addressed in part by doing a better job of taking care of people.
