There was an article in the star this morning ( https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/09/15/downtown-toronto-becoming-like-a-downton-abbey-as-service-workers-get-pushed-farther-from-the-core.html ), the article touches on how hard working families are being pushed out further due to unaffordable housing in Toronto. As someone who works and commutes daily to Toronto, I know this is 100% accurate.


If elected, I pledge to you that I will promote Clarington to companies. To ensure good jobs are brought here, so that you spend less time commuting & more time spent with families and loved ones.



Michael Moore touched upon this in one of his documentaries. Inner city detroit residents would have to travel over 1.5 hrs to work in affluent neighbourhoods as there were no jobs local.


I want to bring good local jobs to clarington so that YOU don’t have to spend 2+ hours a day commuting to Toronto. Think about how much wasted time is spent commuting, let alone the 10$ each way cost to commute.


That’s almost $6000 in savings and almost 700 hours of wasted time.
I pledge to fight for families and residents to ensure a better quality of life!
