Barber. Community Organizer.
Ward 8 Councillor Candidate.
For 27 years from behind his barber chair, Jason McDonald has listened to everyday Ward 8 residents. While City Hall hands out $58M to consultants and $41M in golf club tax breaks, 300 small businesses closed along Eglinton. It is time for real accountability.
Why We Need Immediate Change at City Hall
While local residents suffer endless traffic gridlock and rising taxes, City Hall continues to prioritize corporate consultants and insider tax breaks.
Forced out along Eglinton Avenue due to uncompensated construction delays.
Wasted City Hall dollars paid to third-party firms while streets decay.
Special municipal breaks granted to private clubs while tax rates rise.
