What are your priorities for Toronto in this campaign and how will you fight for the city’s needs A.) My first priority for Toronto and for all of Canada is to protect our fragile economy With a $5 billion surplus so far this year we’re pursuing a low-tax balanced budget plan to protect Canadian jobs and growth in the face of global uncertainty Maintaining the economy will allow a Conservative Government to invest in other local priorities such as transit funding and infrastructure renewal Q.) With humanitarian crises continuing across the globe what role should Canada play in assisting those people find their better future the crisis must be addressed at three levels: confronting ISIS militarily Only Stephen Harper is willing to confront ISIS We have also contributed more than three quarters of a billion dollars to humanitarian relief in the region And Minister Alexander has announced balanced measures to speed up the processing of refugees Q.) Canada is expected to see a dramatic increase in dementia cases among our senior population in coming years Would you support a national strategy on dealing with the influx What do you believe needs to happen to address the issue our Conservative Government committed to contribute $42 million to the new Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation at Baycrest Health Science Centre we announced important initiatives such as renewing the mandate of the Mental Health Commission and launching the National Dementia Research and Prevention Plan The NDP make lavish spending promises they can’t afford to keep Only our Conservative Government has a proven record of delivering for Canadians I have a young family and have been involved in my community As a former President of the Kew Beach DayCare and on the Board of the Flemingdon Health Centre you need to be open and accessible to ALL your constituents info@votenate.ca www.votenate.ca facebook.com/votenatebey A.) My first priority for Toronto is long-term predictable funding from the federal government A Liberal government will invest in infrastructure by quadrupling public transit investment and building more affordable housing and bringing 315,000 children out of poverty by restoring the long-form census so that cities can make smart decisions A.) A Liberal government will immediately resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees We will then reassess how we can help further Doing it quickly doesn’t mean we have to take shortcuts and according to Rick Hillier (former chief of the defence staff) we have the resources to screen applicants for security We will also recommit our country to its peacekeeping tradition by making our troops and capabilities available to the UN in peace operations around the world A.) I support the Canadian Medical Association’s call for a national seniors’ strategy That includes a specific dementia care strategy of increased funding for research and caregiver support It also means an emphasis on proper nutrition and physical activity and increased funding for long-term care facilities and home care Implementing this national strategy will both improve seniors’ quality of care and save our healthcare system billions of dollars I practise law at a commercial litigation firm downtown and have won public interest cases at the Divisional Court and Human Rights Tribunal I studied politics and constitutional law at Queen’s and Oxford I will be a strong voice for our community in Ottawa matthew.kellway@ndp.ca matthew.kellway2015.ndp.ca facebook.com/matthewkellway A.) As Urban Affairs, Infrastructure and Deputy Transport Critic for my Caucus, I wrote our urban agenda (available on my website matthewkellway2015.ndp.ca) It focuses on the need for investment in infrastructure to ensure sustainability and a prosperity more equally shared That includes a dedicated public transit fund of $1.3B annually an additional $1.5B annual transfer of the federal gas tax to cities for infrastructure priorities (including public transit) investment in housing including the extension of long-term agreements to co-ops and social housing childcare and a new governance infrastructure under an Urban Affairs Minister to guide federal policy and investment in cities With humanitarian crises continuing across the globe A.) Through policy and conduct as the Official Opposition we have positioned an NDP government to be an active force for peaceful resolution of conflict around the world My work on the garment industry and the work of colleagues on conflict minerals and mining seeks to end exploitation of workers around the world We will ensure Canada participates in multilateral efforts and shoulders its responsibility for the resolution of international issues including climate change An NDP government will make Canada home for 46,000 government sponsored refugees A.) We have pledged to put in place a National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Strategy We will invest $40 million to support research early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases I know from personal experience that dementia in all of its forms requires intensive support from families and/or special residential requirements Respite services and home healthcare are crucial components of that support An NDP government will provide funding to allow for home healthcare for 41,000 seniors and work with Provinces to create 5,000 additional LTC beds I was adopted at an early age and raised in Kingston I met my wife Donna when we were both students at the University of Glasgow We were engaged in three months and now married 25 years I have lived in this riding for almost 20 years Donna and I have raised our three kids here randall.sach@greenparty.ca www.randallsach.ca facebook.com/RandallSachGPC What are your priorities for Toronto in this campaign and how will you fight for the city’s needs A.) I would like to contribute to making Toronto a more liveable city This involves improving and expanding public transit and building more affordable housing We need to combat income inequality by providing a Guaranteed Livable Income so no one needs to live in poverty and free tuition so people can more easily train and re-train for the jobs of the future in the knowledge economy We need a city that works for all of the people A.) While there are many humanitarian crises in world today I will focus on the situation in the Middle East The first thing Canada can do to alleviate the refugee crisis in Middle East and Europe is to end our participation of the bombing of Iraq and Syria It is one of the factors driving the mass migration out of Syria and does nothing to stop Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from continuing his assault on his own people Canada can be very effective in humanitarian aid and relief efforts so we should concentrate on our areas of strength and expertise rather than on questionable and risky military strategies Canada should return to it’s traditional role as a peace-keeper and stop trying to be a war-maker for the sake of domestic political gains at home A.) My mother suffers from this debilitating condition and I would absolutely support a national strategy on dementia government needs to plan for a large increase in dementia cases This would involve increasing home care services and long-term care facility spaces government should invest in more research about dementia and the cause is not well understood and there is not cure (yet) A.) I have worked all my life to help to lift people out of poverty The early part of my career was in social housing managing housing co-ops For the last 25 years or so I worked in the field of international development for several non-governmental organizations in a variety of countries including Mexico The projects I worked in were in several sectors including housing Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: TorontoWhat you need to know about the race in Ward 19 – Beaches-East YorkBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: October 18, 2022 at 2:19PM EDT Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.
