Gong Xiao Hua is here to rescue Toronto

Question for the front runner.

How are you going to make affordable housing affordable if you decide to jack property taxes on property owners?

How are thousands of Torontonians going to be able to afford their currently reasonable rents when you:

Force the owners to sell/raise rents because of exorbitant property tax increases

And/Or

Help people currently paying those rates deal with the 10-30-50% rate increase?

Many of us don't make $100, 000(net) a year.

If one's rent goes from $1500 to $2300 a month, many will be on the streets.

Literally.

Will anyone ask Olivia Chow about the incident when she and her spouse, Jack Layton, lived in subsidized housing when they were both Toronto city councillors? They did eventually get caught but feigned innocence and didn't realize it. Who believes that.

Seriously we have to go back to Olivia Chow? Toronto is doomed. I find it hard to believe we can't find someone else new with fresh ideas. Get out of Toronto while you can.

Why isn't Chris Sky in the mix of great candidates? And why is CBC News deciding who the top candidates are? So wrong. Disgusting. Thumbs down.

The reality is "I think it's more important to debate during an election." That made me laugh.

Matlow got put in his place for his history of not supporting a subway in Scarborough by Mitzie. And Bailou was like people are not blind you showed up to a Scarborough Subway townhall and confronted city staff and Mayor Tory about the subway when you don’t even live in Scarborough.

Every year increasing property tax and all basic needs pricing are increasing too but some one who works basic salary for long time in one place they are salary is not increasing. Oh housing prices are increasing so bank of Canada are increasing there are interest rates, really as citizens of Canada I didn’t know the difference. I think we all need work extra jobs to pay taxes and interest rates

The best parts were all 4 other candidates confronting Mark Saunders on climate change and whether he supports the TransformTO Climate Change plan which they all do.

This is not the top 5. Anthony Furey was ahead of some of these candidates yet he was not invited. Shame on you CBC. He's the candidate to vote for with common sense policies! Olivia Chow is easily the worst debater with even worse policies.
