Your Voice,Our Platform.

Understanding Your Needs

Every good platform starts with listening. Before Jack tells you what he thinks Toronto needs, he wants to hear it from you directly.

Changing the Fiscal Framework

Toronto needs the tools to meet its service demands. At the same time, the people must demand less of those services. We will attack this issue on both fronts, focused on the Kazakh model of tïımdılik. Some may laugh, but there is no substitute for complex, multidisciplinary work — that's not a laughing matter, that's genuinely, at least potentially, interesting work.

Our city must be far less reliant on property taxes and far more reliant on those visiting our wonderful city. Anyone residing outside Toronto will be charged a recurring border tax of $7 on entry and departure (why would you leave?). And we are going to cut the government workforce in half, beginning with our terribly mismanaged Canadian National Exhibition, restoring our once-great event to the standard it deserves.

Efficient, Safe, and Affordable Transit

Some wards want adequate coverage. We will not have that. All wards deserve free, glorious access to the most efficient mode of transport we know: the mighty automobile. In the era of President Trump's automobile tariffs, we must support our great Canadian automakers.

The average Torontonian's commute is now over two and a half hours. Unacceptable. With our More Lane, Less Pain revolution, Toronto's major thoroughfares will exist like never before: the 401 will be expanded to 100 lanes, the Jack Hartley Don Valleyest Parkway will be expanded to 20 lanes in each direction, and Allen Road will finally be finished as originally planned in 1963.

We will also mobilize the community with city-supported pothole repair blitzes — unlike the current administration, we will encourage Torontonians to accomplish the work most important to them. And we'll phase out every aging GO Train car on intra-Toronto routes, replacing them with the modern standard: bright green cars, reinforcing our commitment to a green Toronto.

True Freedom of Information

We will publish all city contracts, in part, with appropriate redactions to protect victims. We value victims' privacy.

Answering Homelessness

We have seen the fruits of our excessive compassion. To that we say: no longer. Homelessness is an embarrassment to our city that stains the legacy of the Chow administration. Under Hartley control, homelessness will be made a top-degree felony. This will encourage those experiencing homelessness to transition into a state of homefulness. This problem will be dealt with by any means necessary.

Revamping Conflict of Interest Rules

Toronto's conflict of interest rules are fine, and efforts to change them are akin to workers' oppression legislation — especially to those at our great exhibitions and other city events. It reminds Jack of the oft-forgotten Czarist Russia, where the czars oppressed the bourgeoisie. The status quo will be enshrined into Toronto's constitution. Jack is a far-centrist extremist when it comes to conflict of interest.

Optimising Public Investment

Toronto cannot benefit much more from its economic power than it does today. It is for that reason we must court economic power into the region. Nearby municipalities must finally recognize the benefits of their proximity to Toronto — therefore, they must donate all provincially-funded transit proceeds to our great city. To encourage their acquiescence, we will place 50% tariffs on the region of Peel until Pickering succumbs to our great ideals.

We will also decrease Torontonians' property taxes by 53%, offset by 54% increases in property taxes in Halton region, and leverage a pied-à-terre tax on the richest .00000000000001% of tourists entering Toronto. We're opening a dedicated donate-or-pronate website to encourage Torontonians to donate to their city — why donate your money to Israel or Palestine when you could keep it right at home? Further economic policies will be released at the discretion of the mayor-to-be.

Councillor Term Limits

Hartley governance practices will promote healthy stagnation in representation for the people of Toronto. Toronto should remove itself from the ridiculous, provincially mandated system of falling in line with provincially mandated dates — we should be able to call elections whenever we deem necessary. Jack believes the mayor should be afforded additional executive powers, including the impeachment of members of council and the ability to call for reelection of elected councillors or trustees. School trustees will also be eliminated, with their tasks delegated to the far more competent mayor.

Promoting Efficiency

AI is a tool that must be deeply feared. Toronto will never be a haven for greedy technology companies to leech off our citizens. Instead, we will create our own self-serving data centres to securely store the personal information of all Torontonians — including social insurance numbers and personal health information — that will not be available to anyone, Meta, Google, DeepSeek, or otherwise, without the express consent of the mayor.
