Markez Graham: An 11-Year-Old Future Mayor's Vision for Toronto

Markez Graham is 11 years old, in grade six, and he's got a plan to fix Toronto. He talks about lowering taxes to address the cost of living crisis, creating a three-month housing program that transitions people from homelessness to self-sufficiency, and why Canada should prioritize fixing its own problems before sending billions abroad. 

Markez opens up about the importance of good teachers versus bad ones, why he's grateful his parents restrict his social media access, and how travel has taught him to see the world from multiple perspectives. He's not just thinking about being mayor—he's got his eyes set on becoming Prime Minister one day.
