The latest public opinion poll in Toronto's mayoral race has Anthony Furey gaining ground, with the longtime conservative newspaper columnist even edging out several high-profile rivals.
Furey, an executive at the True North media network and former Toronto Sun columnist, is running from the right. He has promised to abolish the city's RentSafe TO program, clear tent encampments, abandon plans for two new safe drug consumption sites and hire 500 more police officers. His public appearances are often peppered with warnings about Toronto's future.
He said that a key question in this election is whether Toronto "goes one step further toward being like Seattle, San Francisco or downtown Vancouver," cities that have emphasized harm reduction policies while grappling with homelessness and a toxic illicit drug supply. Furey says he thinks Toronto is on a path to "urban decay."
Furey has also committed to ditching the municipal land transfer tax for first-time home buyers, eliminating application and permitting fees for CafeTO and completing a "top-to-bottom" audit of spending at city hall. He says he supports council's vote last month to legalize multiplexes citywide and his "market-driven" plan to build more housing would connect "business and investors with landlords as venture partners.
