Captured 2026-08-23 from https://www.votekhalqi.ca/. These are the candidate's own words on their own site, not a summary written here. Campaign sites change; this is what it said on that date.
Accounts linked from the candidate's own website or filed with the Clerk. Nothing here was found by searching for their name: guessing at an account and attaching it to a real person is a mistake worth avoiding entirely. These are links out, not content read or quoted here.
Invited 2026-08-24. No response received. Every candidate is asked the same questions, and a candidate who does not answer is marked, never omitted.
This is not an answer to the questionnaire. It is what their own website says on each theme, with the sentence it came from. A candidate writing that they care about traffic has not thereby said whether they would raise the transit budget, so nothing here is treated as a position on a question they were not asked. Every quotation was checked against the page it is attributed to.
The candidate aims to balance taxation with affordability and opposes unreasonable increases to municipal user fees.
