Airing on Cogeco TV - Channel 11
Good Day and thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak.
My name is Greg Baggio and I am a City Council candidate in Windsor - Ward 1.
I was born in this community and have a Master’s of Business Administration and Honours, Bachelor of Commerce Degree from the University of Windsor. I work in the Financial Services Industry and happily live in South Windsor with my wife Rita.
As a citizen I look I at our city today and see our current leaders taking us down the wrong path.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is no mistake that Windsor has an 8.6% unemployment rate, high taxes, and not to mention, constant mismanagement of those same hard earned funds. Here is why.
Time after time, when faced with an opportunity to move our city forward, this council has chosen to do nothing.
Time after time, when faced with an opportunity to improve our economic base, this council has chosen to do nothing.
Time after time, this council sees nothing, hears nothing, does nothing.
Our city, my city, deserves better, and I intend to be a part of a new council, a proactive council, that will spare no effort to move Windsor ahead.
And we either move ahead on that path, move confidently into the future with a solid plan and an active administration, or we will fall behind, perhaps never to recover our position again.
Here is my position on the border issue, and it is the position I will take to the residents of Ward 1. I issue a clear call to them and to all the citizens of our great city to pull together behind this cause.
The only acceptable means of moving trucks through our city is a tunnel –. And if we use DRTP rail lines it will can convert our rails to trails and parks. Pollution will decrease and so will traffic. Our neighborhoods will become safer for all our families.
And for those who say A tunnel can’t be done, here is a newsflash.
The people of Windsor have paid enough!
It’s been our roads that have been torn up by thousands of trucks, roads we built with our tax dollars.
It’s been our air polluted by the exhaust fumes of thousands of trucks as they breeze right through our city on route to someplace else.
It’s been our residents who have had to put up with the noise and congestion caused by those thousands of trucks.
We’ve paid our share. We’ve done our share. And now it’s time for our City to step up and claim its share!
We must all remember that the movers and the skakers may be in Toronto or Montreal, but what they move and what they shake goes right through this city, like it or not! A tunnel is not only what our citizens deserve, its also what every Canadian will bennefit from.
To the Citizens of Ward 1,
I will be your voice to save Superior Park from being sold.
That is our park and not only should we keep it, we need to create more natural parkland for our families.
I will be your voice in council to stop Cabana Road from being converted into a 5-Lane road.
It is our neighbourhood for our families and our children, and we care too much for their safety.
I will also stand up in council to stop the mismanagement of our tax dollars. Better services for our seniors and attracting jobs to Windsor is more important than wasting our tax dollars on a second regional arena without seeking private funding.
Ladies and Gentleman My Name is Greg Baggio.
I will stand strong in council for our community.
With your help, Windsor will move into this new century with all flags flying high, ready to meet every challenge, and not being afraid to succeed. We are the economic future of Canada!
We are Canada’s gateway because Canada starts at Windsor!
