explore jesse’s platform in more detail

Accountability – Transparent budgets, no waste, and responsible investments. We have given over $500M (grants, land, bailouts) to organizations with little to no oversight and have the highest debt to service level in history, equivalent to the transit budget.

Communication – Honest updates and real community engagement. Community isn’t one size fits all, such as “complete streets”, it is about actually engaging residents and adapting accordingly.

Heritage Conservation – Growth that honors our past, not defunds or demolishes it. We demolish, not deconstruct; we leave our iconic structures vacant, do not invest and we permit city building without context and with the poorest construction material.

Infrastructure – Think Volkswagen, not Rolls-Royce—smart, durable, efficient. Build what works, not just what looks good. In four years, we have a project overrun of almost $700M, are building the most expensive infrastructure in history (more than anywhere in Canada) and have the highest 25% correlating tax increase in history.

Local Business - bring it back through better tax and creative national commercial campaigns. Over the last four years we have established the highest commercial vacancy in history with little to no municipal support.
