@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC Thanks Peter!

It’s interesting, this time 4 years ago several debates had already taken place. I also learned that many of the debates were specifically held for specific Candidates- a way to use the airwaves to promote if you will.

My platform includes electoral reform.

…

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC It’s possible to ensure an inclusive, accessible, democratic Election.

I believe the demonstration of #inclusion #accessibility #democracy in our Election is part of ensuring #CommunityWellness

Vote D!ONNE Renée on Election Day for Mayor of TORONTO!

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC Here is how we demonstrate an inclusive, accessible, democratic Election in TORONTO and even elsewhere:

Everything starts with an Election Toronto @torontovotes & Toronto Public Library @torontolibrary partnership.

Vote D!ONNE Renée on Election Day!

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Have you been to the Library lately?
It has everything! With financing it could continue to do more in being a hub for Community engagement!

Right now, our Library is set up to livestream & archive any event hosted on its premises.

#TOpoli #TORONTO #ElectionTO @torontolibrary

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary The Library is accessible and in most Communities- where there isn’t one we should build it.

An allocation of the Election budget & @torontolibrary budget should be created to include Election production at all Library facilities.

Vote D!ONNE Renée

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Policy should made within our Toronto Election rules and autonomy to limit public debates to be only done through the library debates. Broadcasters are welcome to purchase broadcast rights/fees to air the Library debates on their own network(s).

#TORONTO #TOpoli #ElectionTO

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Anyone interested in finding out what Candidates said during a debate would have full access to the Library’s online archive.

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary The Online Election Archive would be so helpful to many people who are busy, work shift work or who missed a debate because they can always find the full unedited debate on the Library’s website.

This is what inclusive thinking looks like!

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Councillor debates can be held the exact number of times in all Wards by the Library. Additional debates can be hosted by Community Associations for a nominal fee or hosted by a Private organization for a reasonable fee.

The same applies would apply for Mayoral debates.

#TOpoli

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Any debate must welcome all official Candidates wanting to participate.

Participation is based on a draw for a series of questions and goes in rounds to ensure everyone’s participation.

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary We can incorporate tablets that allow Candidates who are waiting their turn to debate to leave a 1 minute video (or voice with their pic) or typed message that includes closed captioning. This way, the Public gets to know all Candidates’ responses to questions
#ElectionTO #TOpoli

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary Fair right?
Seems inclusive right?
Seems accessible right?
Seems democratic right?
Seems doable right?

That’s because all the above is possible!

I’m all about proactive solutions to ensure that we all have the ability to live & thrive!

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary The cost of the 2014 TORONTO Municipal Election was approx $8.39 million dollars.
With the money you spent as a taxpayer (we all are), how informed were you?
Were you surprised to find 65 names on your ballot of official Candidates?
It’s debilitating when media controls our voice

@petedako @Citytv @CBCToronto @CTVToronto @TheAgenda @PnPCBC @TheCurrentCBC @torontovotes @torontolibrary It’s your money #TORONTO!

Don’t you want to control how it gets spent?

You have the right to direct where we should invest our collective dollars in!

Your voice. Your vote. You’re the boss.
