Former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders joins mayoral race Via suntooz
If people don’t feel safe in Toronto, businesses and jobs will leave, and the city will continue down its negative path, he said.
Too many TTC riders feel anxious, like a young female transit customer who told him recently that it was her first time back in months and that she still feels nervous, or a man who said he’d rather drive in heavy traffic because he doesn’t feel safe on the subway, Saunders said.Article content“We’re at a pivotal moment in our city and need to elect a mayor who can bring all voices to the table to focus on the real priorities and start fixing the problems,” Saunders said.
Saunders is entering what is shaping up to be a crowded mayoral campaign, but he brings strong name recognition both as a former police chief between 2015-2020 and former provincial Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Don Valley West. Nominations for mayoral candidates officially open April 3, but several people have already indicated they will run or are seriously considering it.
