David on Toronto
These are public positions and calls to responsibility—not promises made through an office David does not hold.
Reason before conclusion
David’s convictions are explicitly Christian. Each issue is also presented through its public consequences so that people who do not share his faith can still understand the argument, test the reasoning, and know exactly where he stands.
Practical responses distinguish what David, churches, families, institutions, community organizations, citizens, and governments can realistically do.
Who is forming the next generation?
Children are shaped by what adults teach, normalize, reward, and leave unchallenged. Toronto must ask who has primary responsibility for that formation and whether parents can clearly know what their children are being taught.
Read David’s positionWhat should public money strengthen?
Every public grant is a moral choice as well as a financial one. When resources are limited, Toronto must decide which activities provide a genuine public benefit and which priorities should be left outside taxpayer funding.
Read David’s positionCan freedom survive serious disagreement?
A free city must make room for beliefs that are unpopular as well as beliefs that are celebrated. Toronto must decide whether public space remains open to Scripture, conscience, peaceful preaching, and principled disagreement.
Read David’s positionWhat does real compassion require?
Toronto cannot call abandonment compassion. Open-air drug use, unlawful encampments, untreated illness, unsafe public spaces, and people trapped in addiction require a response that protects dignity and expects restoration.
Read David’s positionWhere will discipline and belonging be built?
Young people need more than warnings about what to avoid. They need places to train, mentors who expect something of them, communities that know their names, and meaningful standards of character, responsibility, fatherhood, fitness, and service.
Read David’s positionCan working families still build a life here?
A city becomes fragile when the people who work in it cannot realistically afford to live, eat, travel, and raise their families in it. Toronto must treat affordability as a question of human stability, not only market performance.
Read David’s positionTo whom should public institutions answer?
Public institutions lose trust when they coerce conscience, obscure spending, or rewrite civic memory without adequate public consent. Toronto must decide how freedom, history, transparency, and responsibility will be protected.
