Cities are where we solve big problems. Where we learn to live together. Where we can surprise and delight and work hard and take care of people. And where we have the potential to reconnect people with the positive role government can play in their lives.?

After the past two years, we all understand that cities play a role in our health and safety, in what we can afford and whose needs are prioritized. We need people in City Council who know how to seize the opportunity of this moment, and can actually get things done.

It’s time for a different way of doing things. It’s time to have nice things, introduce new approaches, take care of one another, do better by each other and bring each other along. To stop saying things can’t be done and get to work showing what’s possible. Maybe even have a little fun in this town.

I love Toronto and know that we can do better. That’s why I’ve registered to run for City Council in Ward 4, Parkdale-High Park. It’s going to be fun. Come help. https://vote4siri.ca/

I’d vote for you if I could, Siri. Rooting for you!
