Want to find out where your ward's candidates for Toronto City Council stand on the issues that matter most to your community?

Residents in 11 Wards sat down with candidates to have meaningful conversations on some of the top issues impacting their neighbourhoods and the City at large. These conversations have been summarised and uploaded to the Wards Project web-site. It is a valuable resource for voters as they determine who will be best suited to represent them for the next four years.

Go to thewardsproject.com/elections (link in bio) to find the summaries. Then on October 26th, please vote in the Toronto Municipal Election.

Your vote is your voice.

Interviews Connect the Dots Between Candidates Platforms and Climate Action!

www.thewardsproject.com/elections

Toronto residents are feeling the impacts of climate change: serious health impacts caused by extreme heat days and air pollution; power outages; rising costs to heat and cool our homes; rising costs of groceries; and, just this September, many in of us bore the costs of a flooding event that destroyed millions of dollars in property.

Toronto residents are feeling the impacts of climate change: serious health impacts caused by extreme heat days and air pollution; power outages; rising costs to heat and cool our homes; rising costs of groceries; and, just this September, many in of us bore the costs of a flooding event that destroyed millions of dollars in property.

On October 26th, Toronto voters will decide our next council and it is critical we have strong councillors representing us to ensure that everyone who lives here are supported and that the City works faster, and more efficiently, to combat the impacts of a warming planet. We know the solutions already exist - what we need is the political will.

This past summer, Wards Project teams, made up of concerned constituents in 11 wards interviewed their candidates asking each the same list of questions linking climate action to issues most impacting their communities. These include: affordability, transportation, AI data centres and parks & greenspace.

Summaries of candidate interviews are now published on the Wards Project website: thewardsproject.com/elections, giving residents a consistent way to compare candidates’ priorities, ideas and commitments.

None of the candidates have been ranked, analyzed nor endorsed.

We hope you will take some time to review the summaries, and find them helpful when choosing which candidate most aligns with your vision for a Toronto that is healthier, more affordable and resilient.

Then on October 26th vote!

The sun is shining in Toronto and it’s looking like a good day to wear cute shoes, call a couple friends and hand out some flyers calling for the city to adopt an ethical investment and procurement policy! Click the link in our bio for a PDF you can print at home.

Advance voting is taking place in Toronto between Tuesday, October 6 and Sunday, October 11, which means it’s really important this week to get the word out about CEIP and our policy proposal. Remember to email candidates about where they stand on human rights!

Ward 4 candidates respond to a question about ethical investment and procurement at an all-candidates meeting inside Roncesvalles United Church on October 2nd 2026.

The CEIP encourages all eligible voters to attend their local all-candidates meetings or email candidates to ask if they would support a motion requiring the City of Toronto to avoid doing business with, or investing in, corporations and other enterprises that are directly linked to severe violations of internationally recognized human rights.

Check out the links in our bio for an email template you can use and a copy of the proposed policy.

*Quick correction: the auto-generated captions should say “human rights“ instead of “youth crimes”

(Part 1) - Mark Carney invited 100+ billionaires, CEOs, and executives to Toronto for an "investment summit", seeking private investment in public infrastructure, and promising a "mega-deduction" in corporate taxes. 4 of Canada's largest airports are now open to corporate investment, and therefore, tax cuts. David McGuinty, our Defence Minister, said the summit was an opportunity to attract investment in our weapons industry. Individuals present included Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, which invests billions of dollars into Israel, even in the midst of a genocide. Johnathan D. Gray, the president of Blackstone was also present, Blackstone being known for opposing rent control while owning huge amounts of residential property, where they hike rent prices, and ignore affordability commitments. Dave McKay, who finances billions of dollars into fossil fuel expansion yearly, including the controversial Coastal Gaslink line, the construction of which violating Wet'suwet'en land & sovereignty rights. The UAE's nationalized oil corporation, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, also had an unnamed representative present. The UN, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch have all reported that UAE's government is sending financial, military, and logistical support to the RSF, a paramilitary committing genocide in Sudan. The death toll in Sudan has reached up to 400,000 since 2023. Media access to this conference was extremely limited, with many investment meetings occuring behind closed doors. BBC says "More than 160 projects were on offer, from data centres to pipelines and port expansions,"

Over 1,000 protestors convened at Nathan Philips Square to send a clear message, that our future is not to be decided behind closed doors by billionaires and corporations. A live band played anti-fascist songs, pausing for chants & speeches (including the one you're listening to now, by Wet'suwet'en Chief Na'moks). The protest started marching to the AGO, only to be met by lines of police and incorrectly set up barricades. Toronto Police were present as usual, along with York Police, Durham Police, Hamilton Police, and the OPP -

So @yvan_baker is endorsing his “friend” Brad Bradford for #Toronto Mayor?! 🤨

Brad the same guy who:

❌Voted on development charges without declaring his ties to developers. Now he faces a 3rd integrity investigation

❌Is endorsed by Turning Point Canada, a far-right anti-2SLGBTQ+ group

❌Who held a cash-for-access event in Vaughan with wealthy developers a month before registering to run for Mayor
❌Voted to BLOCK a women’s shelter in Etobicoke (with Stephen Holyday)

❌Voted NO to giving unhoused people WATER during heatwaves (again with Stephen Holyday)

❌Is supported by former MP John McKay who spent much of his career opposed to gay marriage

❌Is endorsed by 2 politicians who spent years fighting to bring jets to the Island Airport

❌AFTER voting YES for bike lanes he is now trying to remove them??

Why limit the comments on this post Yvan? But things are getting clearer when Yvan didn’t come out to support @nojetsto, doesn’t respond to emails from constituents and is now limiting comments on his posts - sounds like he is working from the Conservative playbook.

Looks like #Etobicoke Centre needs new leadership at EVERY level.

Pay attention and vote accordingly Toronto. #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

This summer, we managed to halt the expansion of Billy Bishop Airport together.

But Doug Ford still has control over our Toronto Islands because of Bill 5. Last year we thought it farfetched that he would use these laws the destroy Toronto’s greenspaces, but hindsight is 20/20, and we can see now that was exactly the plan.

The fight to protect our Island and city lands isn’t over until Ford returns them to Toronto. We paused the airport thanks to everyone getting together and organizing. We have to do the same again until Ford leaves Toronto alone.

#Etobicoke Centre This vote is just one of many showing Stephen Holyday is not serving constituents but is serving Doug Ford and Conservative cronies. Holyday was the ONLY NO ❌ vote to demand Doug Ford give the city back the land the province took for island airport expansion.

It’s time Etobicoke Centre votes in people who are here to represent constituent voices instead of private interests at every level starting this October.

#Vote wisely because #votingmatters #topoli #toronto
