Original Note:
Chow did not "ignore or downplay" transit safety concerns, she frequently addressed them through her campaign. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/mayoral-candidates-weigh-in-on-transit-safety-and-ttc-cell-service-deal-1.6374050 https://thelocal.to/toronto-mayoral-election-public-safety-platforms/ This tweet is also misleading as there is no correlation between police numbers and public safety. The 2023 budget increased police spending by $48.3 mil. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-police-granted-48-3m-funding-increase-with-no-amendments-1.6276328#:~:text=Toronto%20City%20Council%20passed%20the,operating%20budget%20to%20%241.16B.
