00:00:33.640The Canada Pulse Insights poll found only 36% of respondents say the city is on the right track, while 64% say Toronto is going in the wrong direction.
00:00:43.880Longtime Toronto councillor and former mayoral candidate Josh Matlow says he understands why.
00:00:49.340You know, last year's snow removal, for example, was completely inept.
00:00:54.460We need to make sure that people can get around the city.
00:00:56.820We need to make sure that people are safe and lean in on every effort and every tool we have in the toolbox to make the city more affordable.
00:01:03.320So what does this mean for the current administration at City Hall?
00:01:07.060Olivia Chow was elected in 2023 in a by-election after John Tory resigned.
00:01:12.280She's overseen increases in property taxes, but has also negotiated a significant funding deal with the provincial government.

00:01:40.480So I hate to bother you guys, but I've noticed that my videos, they're not getting as much traction as they normally do.
00:01:45.560So if you see this, let me know in the comment section, give me a quick like, and make sure you're subscribed.
00:01:51.580A lot of people that were subscribed have told me that YouTube for some reason unsubscribed them.

00:02:35.400John Torrey resigned from office after admitting to an affair with a staffer in his office.
