8.4%. That’s how few eligible Ward 10 voters chose our current councillor in 2022. Most of us didn’t vote at all. This time, let’s change that. Show up Monday and vote Ian Cunningham 🗳️ Election day is Monday, Oct 26. #ward10 #SpadinaFortYork – at Toronto, Ontario

Ian Cunningham for Ward 10 #SpadinaFortYork ! Having served as a mayor, city councilor and cabinet minister, I know the difference between talking about cities and actually building them. What impresses me most about @IanCForTO is that he listens, takes residents’ concerns seriously and responds quickly to get things done. He brings energy, practical judgment and genuine compassion to the challenges facing our neighbourhoods. Ian has the commitment and determination to make Spadina–Fort York safer, cleaner and stronger. I am enthusiastic about the leadership he can bring to Toronto’s future. He has my full support and my vote!” Glen Murray, Distillery District resident, former Mayor of Winnipeg, former Ontario Liberal Cabinet Minister and MPP for Toronto Centre.

Garrison Flats Community Garden has been growing since 1997 It started on City land, and neighbours without backyards have spent nearly 30 years turning it into an inner-city oasis. People grow their own vegetables and plants, and it's become a habitat for bees and birds. Now the City wants to build affordable housing next door. lan supports more housing, but says the site could have been redesigned to make room for both. Most cities would kill to have a garden like this. We should have more gardens like this, not fewer. Have you been to Garrison Flats? Show it some love below Election day is Monday, Oct 26. #ward10 #spadinafortyork

He doesn’t even know who I am. Still kicks the sign down. Disagree with someone? Fair. Destroy property you know nothing about? That’s not democracy, that’s just disrespect. Leave the signs alone.

Ward 10 added more than 21,000 people in five years. The streets didn't get any wider. A TTC you can count on. Construction that's coordinated. Smarter signals. Safe, connected cycling routes. Where does your commute fall apart? Advance voting Oct 6-11. Election day Oct 26. #ward10 #SpadinaFortYork – at Toronto, Ontario

Gridlock in Spadina–Fort York isn't going to fix itself. Ian's plan for congestion: better construction coordination so projects aren't stacked on top of each other, smarter traffic management, faster project delivery, transit people can count on, and traffic agents at the intersections that keep locking up. Which intersection would you put a traffic agent at first? Tell us below 👇 Advance voting is on now until Sunday, Oct 11, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Bring your ID.

Looks like Mike’s been doing this for a while! Ian sat down with @torontomike on his 1983rd episode to talk about Toronto's mental health, addiction and homelessness crisis. Where Ian lands: compassion and safe streets go hand in hand. Residents shouldn't have to choose between helping people get well and keeping neighbourhoods safe. Grab a coffee, it's an hour well spent. Link in bio. Thanks for having us, Mike! What would you have asked? 👇 Advance voting Oct 6-11. Election day Oct 26. #ward10 #SpadinaFortYork #TorontoMiked

One of the biggest complaints I hear in Ward 10 isn't about politics. It's the silence. We can track a package across the country and follow a rideshare on a map. Residents deserve that same transparency from the people elected to represent them. So here's my commitment. When you contact my office: an immediate acknowledgement, a tracking number, an update within 48 hours, and regular progress updates until it's resolved or you have a clear answer. Representation starts with responsiveness. Track It. See It. Solve It. Advance voting Oct 6-11. Election day Oct 26. #Ward10 #SpadinaFortYork

Back for Night✌️of the RNC. Just to clear things up for the Twitterverse: @cantbcensored is ALL MAGA, ALL THE TIME. Just ask our recent TRUMP superfan guests like Gavin Newsom, Olivia Chow, Tucker Carlson & Don Lemon. Sadly, @karman_wong forgot her red hat. Karman, try harder. 🇺🇸 – at Dallas, TX
