PLATFORM & PRIORITIES

Building A Better Toronto

Five priorities. One goal: a city that works for the people who live here. This is the foundation of Jeffery Tunney’s platform.

Community Safety

Residents want to walk home at night, send their kids to school, and sit in a park without worrying. That kind of safety doesn’t come from more patrol cars alone. It comes from neighbourhoods that actually know each other.

Goals:

  • Lower violent crime rates across the city
  • Fund prevention programs before problems start, not after
  • Strengthen ties between police and the people they serve
  • Improve safety at the neighbourhood level, not just citywide averages
  • Rebuild the public's confidence in how safety is handled

Youth Employment

There’s no shortage of ambition among Toronto’s young people. What’s missing is access. Entry-level jobs are harder to land, training programs don’t always lead anywhere, and too many young workers hit walls that have nothing to do with what they can do.

Goals:

  • More entry-level and career-track jobs open to young Torontonians
  • Employer partnerships built around actual hiring, not photo ops
  • Skill programs tied to real job outcomes
  • Fewer barriers standing between youth and steady work
  • A clear path from first job to lasting career

Emergency Preparedness & Healthcare Capacity

A city gets tested eventually, whether that’s a public health scare, a storm, or a hospital system running past capacity. The difference between chaos and control usually comes down to what was already in place before the emergency hit.

Goals:

  • Disaster response plans that are ready before they're needed
  • Emergency preparedness reaching every neighbourhood, not just downtown
  • Hospitals equipped to handle real spikes in demand
  • Real support for the healthcare workers on the front line
  • Communities that recover quickly instead of scrambling

Affordable Housing

Rent keeps climbing. So do home prices. For a lot of families, that means leaving the neighbourhood they grew up in because staying isn’t an option anymore.

Goals:

  • More housing that people can actually afford
  • Development that's built responsibly, with communities in mind
  • Less red tape between residents and available housing
  • Families able to stay rooted where they live
  • A long-term plan for the housing shortage, not another temporary fix

Economic Growth & Local Business

Toronto’s economy should work for the people who live in it, not just the ones already doing fine. That starts with making it easier, and cheaper, to run a business here.

Goals:

  • Ease the tax burden on workers and small businesses
  • Support local businesses as the backbone of Toronto's neighbourhoods
  • Bring in investment that creates jobs that last
  • Get more Torontonians back to work
  • Build an economy that grows beyond downtown
