Former long-time Toronto city councillor Giorgio Mammoliti is running for mayor.
Controversial, bombastic former long-time Toronto city councillor Giorgio Mammoliti is running for mayor.
“We’ve lost a lot. We’ve lost a personality. I think our dignity is gone in a number of different ways,” said Mammoliti of the city as he made the announcement Wednesday on CP24, which he also posted on Twitter. “I want to clean it up.”Mammoliti recently came in third in the Wasaga Beach mayoral race — he moved there after losingto a rival incumbent in 2018 after the Ford government halved the number of city councillors in Toronto, a plan that Mammoliti enthusiastically touted.
On Wednesday, Mammoliti stressed safety in public spaces and on the TTC will be a focus for him, including challenging “people that want to be mean to people … people that want to create an atmosphere that is dangerous in the city.” The former NDP MPP spent 23 years on city council racking up a long list of stunts and bizarre proposals, including asking for a curfew to be placed on children and ripping off his shirt on the council floor to protest designating a nude beach at Hanlan’s Point.
“We have to start listening to the families, listening to business owners, listening to everybody that has anything to say about the city left or right of the spectrum, and then create the policies to ensure that everybody’s got what they need in the city,” he said.
