What needs to change in Toronto? It’s a question NOW asked at the beginning of 2020 in a story about the city’s broken system of governance. The city already had a revenue problem, not to mention cracks in transit, housing, childcare, public health – you name it. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit in March and the world went into lockdown.
More than 1,100 people have died in Toronto alone, outbreaks ravaged the underfunded long-term care sector and nearly 540,000 jobs in the city vanished. The economy is gradually reopening and governments are pledging bailout money, but the pandemic – and latest round of protests against police brutality and anti-Black racism – will have a lasting impact.
We want to know what our readers think needs to change in Toronto as we continue to grapple with COVID-19. From housing, government and public transit to policing, healthcare and education, what are the most important issues to you, and what changes do you want to see in the short and long terms?
