BC Voted for Change—Now It’s Winnipeg’s Turn to Reject the Status Quo

Dear Supporters,
The results from the weekend’s British Columbia municipal elections have sent a clear and undeniable message across Canada: voters are officially tired of the status quo. In major cities across B.C., residents stepped up to the ballot box and unseated incumbent mayors in favour of fresh leadership that actually listens to working families.
This nationwide wave of accountability is exactly what we need right here in Winnipeg. For too long, our current City Hall leadership has ignored the heavy financial burden placed on everyday households, opting for continuous utility increases and tax hikes while core services decline.
By signing the Mazher Alam Campaign Petition, you have already proven that our community is ready to stand up and demand better. Now, as we approach our own civic election, we must channel this momentum into real action at the polls by casting our votes for mayoral candidate Mazher Alam.
Mazher Alam’s platform is built entirely around restoring fairness and quality of life to our city. By electing him as Mayor, we are voting for a real, actionable plan to deliver:
Affordable Water Bills: Reversing the painful water rate hikes back to sustainable 2024 levels so families are no longer penalized for essential utility usage.
Property Tax and Rent Freezes: Stopping the continuous cost-of-living increases to protect both homeowners and renters on fixed or squeezed incomes.
Peaceful, Safe Neighborhoods: Investing in proactive, community-based safety measures and social support systems to permanently curb local crime.
An Acceptable, Restored Transit System: Repairing, expanding, and optimizing our public transit infrastructure so Winnipeggers have access to safe and dependable daily transportation.
The voters in British Columbia have proven that entrenched political insiders can be defeated when a community stands together. Let’s bring that exact same energy to Winnipeg. Please share this petition update with your friends, family, and neighbors, and let’s vote for a more affordable, safer, and better-run city by choosing Mazher Alam for Mayor.
