Chris Alexander proposes expanding EDGE, slashing licensing fees, reducing commercial-residential tax ratios, and pledging no residential tax hikes. In Mississauga, Carolyn Parrish warns of job losses tied to U.S. trade, while Bonnie Crombie pushes interest-free tax deferrals, faster vendor payments, and a Mayor’s Tariff Action Team.
