She writes: “Our downtown is shabby, our public parks are unkempt, our snow doesn’t get cleared, our taxes keep going up.” She rails in the book against housing prices, an ill-equipped judicial system, rising crime, congestion, unemployment, “and a City Hall that increasingly seems like a bystander instead of a competent management team.” Only a third of Canadian-led “high-potential” startups launched in 2024 were present a year later, according to the book. She described a “hostile takeover of our streets by terrorist sympathizers” that are “creating conditions ripe for further violence.”
