Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has appealed to Prime Minister Mark Carney, asking for federal support to address the city's affordability crisis and enhance public transit. In her letter, she commended the Liberal government's achievements and outlined several requests, including financial backing for housing, infrastructure projects, school meal programs, and equitable funding mechanisms. With Toronto being the fourth largest city in North America, Chow emphasized the need for swift action to combat rising inequality and operationalize vital transit developments to improve the city's livability.
"Together, we can build more affordable homes faster, fight inequality and rising costs, and invest in the transit needed to get Toronto moving."
"Serious consideration should be given to FCM's requests to find equitable ways to fund cities, or Toronto's previous requests for a small portion of the GST or the federal gas tax already collected from Torontonians."
