Toronto Is BROKEN — Here’s Who Took Over City Hall
from The LeDrew Three Minute Interview
Stephen LeDrew speaks with Jeffrey Kroeker, Chair and Founder of A Better City Toronto, about the growing concern that municipal governments across Canada are failing to deliver basic services.From Toronto to Vancouver to Calgary, failures in infrastructure, housing, and public services have raised serious questions about the quality of leadership at the city level.Kroeker argues that while federal and provincial politics dominate attention, many of the most important decisions happen at the municipal level — and that organized “activist”groups have filled the vacuum, shaping city policy in ways that don’t reflect the broader public interest.He explains how A Better City Toronto was created to bring together people across the political spectrum to push for more accountability, competence, and results in local government.With national leaders like Mark Carney and the Trudeau legacy shaping the broader political environment, the question becomes whether Canada can rebuild effective governance — starting from the ground up.
