Name: Christine Rosehart

What position are you running for? Mayor

What do you see as the principal opportunities and obstacles facing London’s economy over the next Council term? What should the City do to support business growth, job creation, entrepreneurship and investment, and how should it work with employers, Western University, Fanshawe College and others to attract and retain the talent London needs?

Printing machine homes with Fanshawe and Western as a London Crown Corp. Tough on crime is not popular but necessary.

London now has a new Downtown Plan. Which elements would you prioritize and what results should Londoners expect to see during the next Council term? Please address the downtown business environment, public spaces, housing and office conversions, cultural and civic destinations, safety, transportation and implementation accountability.

Stay the course to develop downtown to residential and continue as a cultural hub for entertainment.

London faces an urgent health and homelessness crisis. Residents, employees and businesses also have concerns about violence, property crime, public disorder and confidence in public spaces. These conditions require related but distinct responses. What actions would you support in each area, and what responsibilities should fall to the City, police, the health system, other orders of government and community partners?

Tough on crime. Period. Housing first. Community partners are doing great, City Police are doing great and need a break, Health is burdened. More public washrooms and garbage clean up needed. Any provincial and federal government funding will be sought and utilized. Perhaps work detention centers to self support.

What changes would you support to increase housing supply and affordability and create neighbourhoods with access to employment, services, transportation and public amenities?

Printing machines for housing. Not sure about issue with transportation. Seems like an easy fix. Where is the civil engineer?

London’s cultural facilities, venues and public spaces are essential to the life of the city, and several face age, capacity or funding pressures. What cultural infrastructure should be prioritised during the next Council term, and how should the City decide where to invest?

Cooperatives as partners in any sound business proposal. Grants are charity but instead should be investments on behalf of the residents of London with their money.

London’s economic success depends on reliable local, regional, national and international connections. How would you improve local transit and service to major employment areas and shift workers, intercity bus and air links, and passenger rail? What should businesses and employees be able to expect in terms of frequency, reliability and access?

Yes air links are a subject.to be examined for future infrastructure. Smaller buses for shift timed routes after hours so to speak such as the inter city buses.

What changes would you make to municipal approvals, regulation, procurement and customer service to make it easier to invest, build and operate a business in London?

Agreed. Better qualified individuals.

London City Council approved the 2025–2035 ReconciliAction Plan in May 2025, committing the City to 155 actions over ten years. What should the next Council do to translate these commitments into a clear, properly resourced implementation plan developed with Indigenous partners? How would you advance reconciliation through economic development, procurement, planning, cultural investment and municipal services?

Indigenous own this country. We live on the reserves. Just look at a map. The indigenous protect the rest. Luckily Beaver Dam pulled us together for a common goal.

London’s growth depends on roads, transit, water and wastewater systems, emergency services and community facilities. How would you determine which investments proceed first, pay for growth fairly and maintain competitive property taxes?

Clean up the homeless saves money on Emergency services. Make the city more appealing by cleaning up the garbage brings business. More public washrooms. Unpopular but do every agency, Police, Emergency, Fire truck have to go to every incident?

London City Council approved the Climate Emergency Action Plan in 2022. The Plan calls for a 55 per cent reduction in community-wide greenhouse-gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2030. Which elements of the Plan would you prioritise, accelerate or change during the next Council term? How would you ensure that climate action strengthens resilience, affordability and economic competitiveness for residents and businesses?

Big on environment. Every little thing. More off grid. West 5 in London is a prime example of de centralized being successful.

Ontario’s strong-mayor legislation gives the Mayor of London enhanced authority in areas including the municipal budget, senior administration and matters connected to provincial priorities.
If you are a candidate for Mayor: How would you use these powers, when would you choose not to use them, and what standards of transparency and accountability would you apply?

Never. It is for emergency use only. I am hired to work for the people municipal, provincial or federal matters in a representative capacity only. Referendums. Cameras should be utilized all the time for transparency.

What role should arts, culture and the creative industries play in London’s economic and community development? How should the City support cultural organisations, artists, venues, festivals and creative businesses while ensuring that municipal investment produces lasting public value?

Love the Forest international film festival. Junos were here but London may have dropped the ball. London’s greatest asset is the arts, film, research. Like all industry should be self supportive. Managing the city infrastructure so the businesses will come to a business friendly environment. All industry. Natural integration.
