We Got It Done
In 2010 Rob and Doug Ford made history. Four years later we can say the Fords kept their word and put you – the taxpayer – first every step of the way.
The Ford Administration got things done by working with City Councillors and other levels of government to deliver real results for Toronto residents.
Promises Made, Promises Kept!
Derailed The Gravy Train
Ended the out of control spending at City Hall- reduced annual spending growth by 98%.
Slashed Councillor expense budgets, saving $6.4 million over four years.
Put Councillors’ expenses and voting records online.
Uncovered and fought waste, and mismanagement at Toronto Community Housing Corporation.
Brought in a new board of directors and senior management team focused on improving tenant living conditions.
Put Taxpayers First
Kept property taxes low and reduced the average annual property tax increase to 1.5 per cent.
Saved $80 million by privatizing garbage collection west of Yonge Street, ensuring Toronto will never face another garbage strike.
Eliminated the dreaded personal vehicle tax. This has saved every car owner $240, per vehicle, in the last four years alone and kept $200 million in the pockets of Toronto taxpayers.

Invested $1.2 billion on new infrastructure including transit, roads, bridges, sidewalks, water mains and playgrounds. Filled 200,000 potholes each year.

Invested $137 million to maintain and upgrade Toronto parks and playgrounds. Upgraded equipment at over 122 playgrounds across Toronto.
Fostered economic growth and job creation by cutting red tape and keeping taxes low, creating a business-friendly environment.
Today, 58,000 more Torontonians are employed than when the Fords took office and Toronto’s GDP has grown by 12%.
Keeping Toronto competitive and viable. Toronto is now ranked the world’s Most Tax Competitive City (KPMG).
