Petitioners,
Just when you thought the Dundas renaming debacle couldn’t sink any lower, newly obtained Freedom of Information documents expose yet another outrageous betrayal of public trust: the City of Toronto, through its Economic Development and Culture division, squandered $220,000 of taxpayer money on “meeting consultants” to facilitate a mere 16 meetings of the “Community Advisory Committee” tasked with renaming Dundas Street. That’s an unbelievable $13,750 per meeting. The true winner? Process Inc., now known as SAFFY, who quietly walked away with a six-figure payday—funded entirely by you, the taxpayer.

It’s important to note that SAFFY states on their website, “Equity, anti-oppression and decolonialism are core to how we approach our work,” whatever that means. This is not just waste. It’s a grotesque misuse of public funds that could have filled many potholes, provided hundreds of shelter beds, or gone toward any real crisis facing our city.

Instead, we get preformative bureaucracy, symbolic grandstanding, and deepening public resentment. Not a single councillor has been held to account. The more we uncover the more we realize how the Dundas renaming affair was an opportunity to use public coffers as their piggy bank, with several City Councillors and staff acting as willing accomplices. 

Make no mistake: this is theft in slow motion, executed by a city leadership more interested in ideology than governance and fiscal responsibility.
Remember every name involved in this scandal. Pat Tobin. Gord Perks. Julian Sleath. Chris Moise. Shelley Carroll. Ausma Malik. Amber Morley. Olivia Chow.  And come October 26, 2026, at the next municipal election, let the reckoning begin.
