2006 Toronto municipal election

thumb|A lawn sign in the 2006 Municipal Election in Toronto

Municipal elections were held on 13 November 2006 to elect a mayor and 44 city councillors in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In addition, school trustees were elected to the Toronto District School Board, Toronto Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest and Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. The election was held in conjunction with those held in other municipalities in the province of Ontario (see 2006 Ontario municipal elections). In the mayoral race, incumbent mayor David Miller was re-elected with 57% of the popular vote.

There were 38 candidates running for Mayor of Toronto and 238 candidates running for 44 city councillor positions. This was, at the time, the largest number of candidates to run in a Toronto municipal election. In contrast to the previous election (which had two acclamations), no candidates were unopposed.

Provincial legislation passed in May 2006 extended municipal council terms in Ontario from the previous three years to four. The council elected in 2006 thus served until 2010.

Election notes

Local activist David Meslin created City Idol — an initiative and contest to encourage local citizens who were otherwise alienated from politics to seek office in this election. The contest ultimately selected four candidates to assist in their quests for city council seats. The contest ran from February to June 2006.
On 27 September 2006, former councillor Chris Korwin-Kuczynski filed papers to run in his old riding of Ward 14. However, the next day he withdrew his nomination. This allowed him to retain a fundraising surplus of $21,742 left over from his last campaign. If he had not (at least temporarily) run in this election, the money would have flowed into the city coffers.
As of the close of nominations (29 September 2006), the majority of local media coverage was focused around three mayoralty candidates – current Mayor David Miller, outgoing Ward 26 Councillor Jane Pitfield and former Liberal Party of Canada President Stephen LeDrew.
Several incidents occurred during Ward 8 advanced polling on the weekend of 4–5 November 2006, leading to candidates Peter Li Preti and Anthony Perruzza accusing each other of dirty campaigning and the breaking of numerous election and criminal laws. Although no criminal charges were laid by police, the City of Toronto has (in a completely unprecedented move) hired off-duty police officers at a cost of approximately $23,200 to guard each of the ward's 40 voting locations on election day to assure voters will remain safe and free from harassment.

Information on minor candidates

Michael Alexander was 42 years old, worked as a filmmaker, and described himself as an eschatologist. His political hero was Pierre Trudeau. He promoted "city autonomy with a central bank, laws guided by eschatological principles from Scriptures, and a constitution based on the U. N. Declaration of Human Rights."
Jaime Castillo was born in Peru, had studied mechanical engineering at Humber College, and had worked in construction and real estate. He first ran for Mayor of Toronto in 2003 as part of a pro-multiculturalism slate, calling for an increase in property taxes to support programs for immigrants. He received 1,616 votes for an eighth-place finish. Castillo promoted multicultural issues again in 2006, also calling for improved tourism services and an environmental program to produce bio-gas and fertilizers from garbage. Jackson was a 45-year-old student at George Brown College in the 2000 election and called for more popular involvement in politics, saying "If everyone had access to a hand-held computer that plugged into the Net, we could have instant votes on major issues." She worked at the Parkdale Activity & Recreation Centre in 2006, and promoted green rooftops, windmills and "more community gardens".
Lee Romano was a successful businesswoman in Toronto. She created the Consumer's Guide to Insurance Inc. in 1996, providing telephone callers with advice on car insurance rates. She later moved her service online. Since 2005, she had written a column in the Toronto Star's "Wheels" section under the name Lee Romanov. Romano made a successful $9,000 bid at a "Mayor for a Day" charity event in 2002, and won the right to oversee activities at Toronto's city hall for 11 June of the same year (this did not confer any official responsibilities). She held a gala "inauguration" ball in May, with the proceeds also going to charity. She did not actively campaign for mayor in 2006.
Monowar Hossain previously campaigned for the Toronto District School Board in 2000 and for Mayor of Toronto in 2003. He moved to Canada from India in 1983 due to what he describes as "political issues". He trained as a lawyer, later worked as a security officer, and was studying to be an investment adviser in 2003. Hossain's first mayoral campaign was highlighted by a promise to provide food and housing for Toronto's unemployed to bring them into the workforce. In 2006, he described himself as the "Dealienation Advocate" and said that he would rescue people from "traps" like psychologists and laboratory experimentation.
Joel Rubinovich was born in Montreal, attended and taught at McGill University, and moved to Toronto in 1968. He was a Life Member of the Ontario Institute of Chartered Accountants, and joined the Board of Directors of Lung Cancer Canada in 2002. He favoured lower taxes and police foot patrols, opposed the St. Clair Right-of-Way, and called for a reconstitution of the Toronto Transit Commission. He was 73 years old in 2006.
Rodney Muir held Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Business Administration degrees, and had worked for twenty years in the food and grocery sector. He was the founder of the non-profit organization Waste Diversion Canada and was a waste diversion campaigner from the Sierra Club of Canada. He ran on an environmental platform, opposing David Miller's plan to purchase a landfill near London. He also criticized a plan to introduce recycling carts to the city, saying that it would be more cost efficient to bring in more blue boxes. Muir traveled to Australia during the election, to give speeches in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney on waste diversion. He was 52 years old in 2006.
Nicholas Brooks was one of the first four candidates to register for the 2006 mayoral contest. He was a prolific writer of letters to the editor, including one in support of legalized prostitution. He participated in the Toronto Star's 2004 online budget challenge, supporting cuts to the office budgets of municipal officials and calling for increased funds for public libraries. In 2006, he said that he would represent ordinary citizens against the better-funded front-running candidates. He promised affordable housing, more community centres, and a toll on the Gardiner Expressway. Toward the end of the campaign, he said "A vote for Nick Brooks would be a vote that says, 'I'm distressed, I'm upset and I'm disturbed.' And it's better than not voting at all."
John Porter called for Toronto to become a "transportation hub", and highlighted critical thinking and public safety. She wore a queen's gown, tiara and fairy wings to an all-candidates debate in 2006.
David Dicks did not respond to the Toronto Star's requests for information. The newspaper was unable to provide any details about his candidacy. He first campaigned for Mayor of Toronto in the 1997 municipal election, at age 53, calling for a plan to bring the Olympics to Toronto and promising to assist people living on the streets. He finished last in a field of twenty candidates. He ran again in 2000 and 2003, with a platform calling for more grassland and trees on the latter occasion. He also said he would promote cricket, and compared the possibility of being elected to winning the lottery. In 2006, he promoted cultural diversity and affordable services.
Mark Korolnek described himself as a "neo-Rhinoceros" candidate, and sought to bring the Rhinoceros Party of Canada back to its former position of respect. and operated a new age website. He supported constructing windmills, and opposed the provincial government's planned 550-megawatt generating station at the Portlands Energy Centre.
Peter Okatar Styrsky was a 49-year-old reverend in the Assembly of the Church of the Universe, which he described as a "cannabis church". He was arrested in late October 2006 and charged with thirty-four counts relating to the production and sale of cannabis. Styrsky spent the latter part of the campaign at the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene. His supporters suggested that David Miller arranged Styrsky's arrest to remove a competitor from the mayoral contest. A spokesperson for Miller indicated that the mayor's office would not respond to "crazy theories".
Mitch L. Gold attended Queen's University, and was certified as a Chartered Accountant in 1968. He later became an international peace advocate following a thousand-day journey around the world. He was the founder of Homeplanet Alliance and a member of the International Association of Educators for World Peace (affiliated with UNESCO), which produced a video entitled "The Last One" in 1993. Gold unsuccessfully sought a seat on the Toronto Board of Education in 1994, saying that he wanted to challenge the school bureaucracy on outdated education methods. He first ran for Mayor of Toronto in 2003, promoting a local Toronto currency and a plan to move the United Nations headquarters to the city. He acknowledged he had no chance of winning, and said that he would personally vote for David Miller. In the 2006 campaign, however, Gold indicated that he no longer supported Miller. He spoke against the Toronto City Centre Airport, and advocated an anti-gun initiative wherein gangsters would be encouraged to toss their firearms into city swimming pools. Whichever team elevated the most water would be given a prize. Mitch L. Gold is not to be confused with another Mitch Gold in America, who was sent to prison for charity fraud.
Ryan Goldhar owned a casting facility, and was thirty years old during the election. He was at city hall getting his marriage license when he decided to run. He called for increased recycling, and making the Toronto Transit Commission an essential service. He received 121 votes to place 43rd out of 44 candidates. He promoted much the same platform in 2006, and also called for increased helicopter surveillance and bullet-proof vests for police. He called for Toronto's youth to have more of a voice in municipal politics, and supported a TTC discount for all post-secondary students.
Paul Sheldon was a rabbi. He studied professional voice training in the United States of America, spent seven years working at synagogues in Toronto, and was a founder of the Lodzer Holocaust Memorial Centre. He attracted controversy in 1990, when his marriage business was criticized by members of the Toronto Board of Rabbis. Sheldon often performed interfaith marriages unrecognized by Jewish law, for which he was strongly criticized by others in the community. Rabbi Joseph Kelman, chairman of the Toronto Board of Rabbis, said that he did not know of any national Jewish organization that recognized Sheldon's rabbinical credentials. Sheldon dismissed his critics, saying "I'm not a rebel, I'm a leader. Doing things differently is a sign of a leader and a good one." He had overseen many unusual weddings, including a ceremony in Muskoka where the couple wore only see-through plastic. Sheldon was also president of the provincial York South Progressive Conservative riding association in 1990. During the 2006 campaign, his primary issue was free rides for seniors on the TTC. He also called for more wedding chapels, said that he could reduce crime in Toronto by licensing bullets, and promised to provide housing for 60,000 people in three years. He also proposed splitting Toronto into smaller cities of one million residents each. and formed the Bloor-Annex Business Improvement Area in 1996. He had written several Letters to the Editor over the years on various matters, including reforms to employee health benefits and the state of Toronto's provincial tax burden. He was a vocal opponent of the old City of Toronto's forced amalgamation with neighbouring municipalities in 1997, and led the group Taxpayers Against Megacity. He campaigned for city council in the 1997 municipal election as an extension of his anti-megacity campaign, and also advocated for property tax reforms. In 2006, he argued that Torontonians should "take control of our own taxes and control our own destiny".
Last-place candidate Mark State was born in the Northern Ontario community of South Porcupine, and raised in Hamilton. A former marine engineer and naval architect, he was 64 years old in November 2006. He had previously campaigned for the North York Public School Board in the 1974 municipal election. In 2006, he argued that the past city regime were unable to meet their budgetary requirements because of an established dependency on Queens Park for cash supplements; and that because of its shortage of cash, little forwarding action on the city's pressing issues had been taken. Actions to serve the public had been replaced with a preference to manufacture committees to avoid having to undertake reform.

Hau Dang Tan holds a Master of Business Administration degree, and has thirty years experience as a management consultant. An immigrant to Canada, he supports increased multicultural services and called for housing policies that would benefit residents instead of developers.
Garry Green has a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Western Ontario. He is a Contracted Services Specialist for the Toronto District School Board, and was thirty-four years old during the campaign. He ran on a six-member slate led by former Toronto Mayor John Sewell. Green called for more building inspectors, and a grading system to improve building quality.
Ramnarine Tiwari was born in the Caribbean, and moved to Canada at age twenty. He attended York University and the University of Western Ontario, and founded the first Caribbean Cultural Organization in 1972. The following year, he received a licence to perform marriages. A 2003 media release lists him as president and priest of the Toronto Shiva Satsang Sabha Temple. During the 2006 campaign, he called for counselling centres for teen mothers and at-risk youth. He had previously challenged Moscoe in the 2003 municipal election. Singer endorsed several policy initiatives associated with mayoral candidate Jane Pitfield, including garbage incineration and support for the Guardian Angels vigilante group, and his campaign site featured Pitfield's pledge on spending. He called for the number of Toronto City Councillors to be reduced from 44 to 22, and supported two-term limits for councillors. He was endorsed by the Toronto Star newspaper.
Rosina Bonavota was born in Italy, and moved to Canada with her family at age seven. She is a co-owner of Bonamico Café and Grill, a family business, and was forty-nine years old during the campaign. She called for more active-duty police officers and programs for at-risk youth. He says that he ran because of his dissatisfaction with Howard Moscoe, whom he accused of neglecting the ward.
Eva Tavares is a community developer, and has volunteered with the North York Harvest Food Bank. She called for the revitalization of the Eglinton-Oakwood area in an environmentally-sound manner.
