Top three issues
Solving homelessness. Implement an integrated harm reduction plan: prevention, treatment, housing and supportive services, including a fixed needle exchange with mobile distribution centres and a clinically supervised safe consumption site offering access to addictions treatment, primary health care and mental health services.
Making citizen involvement easier. Use conventional face-to-face methods and new technology to bring people into city hall decision-making.
Creating transportation options. Develop a regional transportation system that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and makes it easy for people to get out of cars and onto a train, bus, bike or their feet.
