Tell us where you feel the city is at.

Well, take it from the police chief.

He said the crime has come down.

Go into the police website, Toronto Police website.

They have a dashboard that shows you that Everything in terms of whether it is shootings, homicide, break and enter, the crime has gone down.

But yes, there are people that are on the street.

Yeah.

up...

I mean, it's nice to say rate of inflation.

But think about what my opponent is saying.

My opponent is saying, well, we'll do a tax freeze.

But it's really not a tax freeze because it's 1.5% property tax increases, which he admitted.

not on air during the debate, but with the journalists later afterwards.

And so it's not a tax freeze.

It's also, he's only talking about the first year.

We're not selling this out.

And some voters are wondering why they should trust that.

When I first came in, as you remember, there's a $1.8 billion big budget home cost in big part of COVID.

So I had to, it's just like if you have a home, if the roof is leaking, you have to fix it, right? You have to repair it.

The Scarborough RT have just derailed and I realized that I have to fix TTC rail.

If not, it's not safe anymore.

So, enormous amount of funding is needed.

And the police and community crisis worker, the mental health crisis worker, I had to hire more of them.

What would you say to that voter?

It's widespread, but people, yeah, I don't see people utilizing it as much as they can, and I think they definitely need to incentivize people to do it more.

You can have green rooms in them.

Silent rooms.

And if you have a library card, And do you know that you can go and pick up a free pass to 28 different locations in the city? You can bring family members.

So the aquarium...

ROM, the zoo, that's a lot of money if you bring a few family members.

So you can go once a year for free.

It's really, really tough.

Doch ICE-Agenten wolle sie nicht in ihrer Stadt.

So when you frame this note, where will it hang?

That's a good question.

Let me see what the frame looks like.

I need to go find a special frame.

I tell my protocol office to do it.

It'll be somewhere that people can see it, the public can see it.

Did you want to be in the video? Was there ever any discussion of you being in the music video?

No, I didn't, I didn't think I, it would fit for me to be in the video.

Please join me in welcoming the Mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow.

I'm warming up everybody for the coming speakers.

Good afternoon, friends, members of the Empire Club, and all those joining us online.

I want to tell you what I saw this past October.

I watched thousands of people gather night after night at Nathan Phillips Square and everywhere to cheer on our Blue Jays.

strangers hugging each other, tears of joy, tears of a different kind after game seven.

But even in those hard moments, support, teamwork, unity, that's what Blue Jays gave us.

Thank you,

Why are you sticking to that slightly looser governing method?

We live in a time that People are losing faith in institutions, in governments, because we no longer have rituals.

We have social media that is very short.

There's no nuance.

It's not really participatory.

It's not that democratic.

We need institutions that bring people together rather than divide them.

Do you think sometimes that the feds ramped up immigration levels very rapidly, in short order, without thinking enough about the repercussions of those choices?

But you are right, it- it is- it is surprising to Americans that Canada has gotten the political target of this administration.

And I don't think Americans want to take over, uh, Canada.

I don't think Americans want us to be the 51st state.

Certainly, Canadians have no interest on it.

It- it is just, um...

It- it have ignited huge amount of, uh, uncertainty, uh, nationalistic pride, "We are strong Canadians, we're gonna fight back, we're gonna defend ourselves.

Are you kidding me? Don't you dare do that to us." And, uh-

Um, is this- is this story gonna go- revert to the US-Canada relations that we know, or is, are we really in a different era now forever?
