| Info | 1. NAME: DURI NAIMJI, MA, MAYOR Candidate of TORONTO, NOV. 10, 2003.
2. WHAT I would do if elected MAYOR includes the following PRIORITIES:
ENSURE: that the whole city of TORONTO is SAFER, CLEANER, HEALTHIER, LOVELIER, and RICHER than it has been…
3. HOW: Using sound political theory, a negotiating style, care, democratic leadership Skills, I will ensure that competent, committed, reliable persons chair the various Committees of Council, Commissions, task forces, departments, and Other bodies.
• Will ENSURE: that suitable officials effectively do their jobs and their duties. : that meetings make well-informed , well-debated decisions for prompt action to provide essential services.
• Will strive for a BALANCE among the several interests of different communities, Industries, workers, residents,.. No sector to thrive at the expense of another. All have a RIGHT to living well In TORONTO within the LAW, including disadvantaged people...
• Will initiate, or support action to increase public transportation, grow more trees, flowers, grass, having cleaner WATER pipes; Carry out more tests for cleaner AIR in and out of buildings and follow up on recommendations to purify it.
• Will ENSURE spending within means, in an affordable city, meeting needs of POOR, disadvantaged, students, elderly, sick, homeless, widows, new- comers.. Unemployed, people living on less than $30,000 yearly…
• Will ensure that no one sleeps in the COLD, or is in need of bed and bread, TTC Transportation... SOCIAL, economic, support, until they manage on their own.
• Will COUNT on CIVIC-MINDEDNESS of residents, citizens, of TORONTO, To PARTICIPATE in voting, to be more COMPASSIONATE, with homeless. Welcoming to visitors, .To view the city as belonging to them; and not to OFFICIALS at CITY HALL. Or vehicle drivers or anyone else.
• Will work in PARTNERSHIP with other levels of government, other cities, With RESIDENTS, VISITORS, officials; rather than blaming, stupidly IMITATING or irritating them. A mayor leads no party to expect obedience from councillors!
• Will lead by EXAMPLE, in respectable life style. Show respect for ALL. Ride TTC and still PAY own fare. NO pay raise unless approved by residents.
• Will ensure current LAWS, ACTION PLANS, are carried out as far as possible. As in many great cities, two term limit in office for mayor and councillors ‘As more than two terms tend to bring indolence and corruption in office!
4. PS. Voters will be urged to dump those who failed to stop the $85M. MFP computer DEAL. Some people, including councillors, spoke after the deal! WHY? Why not before? Can WE forget the other candidate in Toronto who was against the NEW CITY and who had asked the courts to stop its creation? Should such a person really lead the NEW CITY?
5. WHY: I stand for office from a sense of DUTY and an unwillingness to bear an unsuitable mayor again! TORONTO needs a MAYOR above mediocre! My experiences as teacher, cricket umpire, security guard, dishwasher, TV viewer of City Hall, troubadour… Representative of graduate students should be useful to see that essential services are received by the people of this city of Diversity and needy in majority. Which one to hire for mayor? A costly fop or a cheap chap?
