The six leading Toronto mayoral candidates outlined their visions for the future of transit, city services and taxes in Scarborough Wednesday evening, in the east-end region of the city shaping up to be a key battleground in the upcoming election.
The candidates said, if elected, they would focus on revitalizing declining city services and infrastructure such as transit and neighbourhood centres in the diverse, populous region, which many called a microcosm for issues across Toronto.
In the 2022 provincial election, the area delivered seats to all three major parties, with the Progressive Conservatives taking four of the six Scarborough ridings. The candidates also faced questions about how they would go about working with Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Saunders and Bailao faced criticism for alleged ties to Ford, while progressives Matlow, Chow and Hunter said years of a “get-along” approach to working with the Premier have led to underinvestment from the province.
