The Scarborough busway is opening this week, 6 months ahead of schedule! It's going to be a great improvement for transit riders, and there's more that we can do. We need a councillor who actually takes the TTC, who understands how transit gets planned, and...

Yesterday's office opening fundraiser was a blast! Thanks to everyone who joined us, everyone who spoke, including Birch Cliff resident Dr. Marvin Macaraig, local leader Paula Masterson, and former Councillor Mike Layton - it was a great turnout, we raised a ton of money, and we had a great canvass!

It's been a great weekend: we had our office opening fundraiser and were out canvassing across Birch Cliff. After a long day yesterday, it was great to cap things off with a beverage at Bodega by City Cottage.

Ward 20: Incumbent Parthi Kandavel sucks and is currently under OPP investigation for bribery-related shenanigans. Kevin Rupasinghe finished not that far behind Kandavel (800 votes) in the 2023 by-election and stands a chance at beating him this time.
