The Green Party supports transparency. Term limits are designed to reduce corruption and favoritism. In a transparent government they should not be necessary. Public support (voters) should be the deciding factor at the municipal level. |
| Glenn Langton |
No |
Libertarians support Choice, therefore if the people want term limits on their municipal leaders then they should have term limits, if not then they won't, this should not be a decision of elected representatives but a decision made by those they serve. |
| Robert Maton |
Yes |
Yes, I would advocate a limit of two or three terms. In this election it is clear that entrenched interests and elected officials in some areas are able to work together to shape the agenda, reward supporters, and give themselves an advantage in elections. |
| Ted McMeekin |
No |
No, I believe voters are mature enough to make a decision as to who and how long to support their local representative. |
| Trevor Westerhoff |
Maybe |
Ontario's NDP believes that measures are needed to enhance democratic participation and accountability at the municipal level. Too often, municipal politicians are beholden to big donors such as developers rather than the needs of their constituents. The NDP proposed stronger restrictions on municipal donations such as reducing donation amounts and banning loans to candidates. These were defeated by the McGuinty government. |
