The Candidate Challenge · every answer and every silence, side by side
The Candidate Challenge: The Register
On August 16, 2026, this project’s Shelter Declaration challenged every candidate in Toronto’s 2026 election — mayor, council, trustee, every race: “End homelessness before winter. Yes — before the election.” And it committed to this page: “We will record every candidate’s answer to this challenge — and every silence — side by side, for every race, before the vote.” This is that record — every candidate in every Toronto 2026 race, and what they have said, tracked here as it happens. Read the full Shelter Declaration for the whole challenge.
How this register works
- The challenge was published August 16, 2026.
- The response door is open to every campaign, equally — mayor, council, every trustee seat, incumbent or not.
- “No response yet” means exactly that and nothing more — not a guess about whether a campaign will respond, and not a judgment on the candidate.
- We record, link, and date every response. We do not grade or paraphrase it.
- Every status change carries public evidence — a link and a date, every time.
- Found something wrong here? Corrections go through the Harvest.
The response door
Any campaign can answer the challenge, at any point before the vote. Send it to us and we will record it here with a link and a date, the same way for every candidate.
