sustainability. Short-term planning for economic growth will be useless if our City will not be able to withstand the impact of climate change. Initiatives like green roofs, subsidies for solar power, investing in alternate fuel sources for the City (like biofuel from all our compost) and increasing green space will help mitigate the potentially disastrous effects of the changes to weather patterns. Cities like Chicago, Boston and New York and already improving environmental infrastructure, and Toronto must do so as well.

We must be sensible about this. Mayor Ford is advocating or has removed two city taxes (vehicle and land transfer). This is short-sighted in that the city needs money to operate. Using our contingency reserves to keep property taxes the same this year was just plain stupid and nothing more than politics. We should also cut down costs when we use police for off-duty services (road construction, etc.). Like it or not, Mayor Ford, that's part of the gravy train you promised to get rid of!

Significantly increase property taxes.  Increase user fees to those who can afford
