Captured 2026-08-23 from https://lorifoster.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.
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 mentions past councils maintained low tax rates but argues the city must plan beyond just the financial balance sheet.
In their words: “Past councils have had a strong conservative management style, which has given Milton one of the lowest tax rates in the region. However, to become a great city to live in we need to start to think beyond the financial balance sheet.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
The candidate emphasizes the need for Town Hall to reflect the diverse community rather than just middle-class homeowners and improve transparency.
In their words: “Part of the problem is Council and Town Hall have generally reflected the perspective of the typical middle class home owner and not the diverse community that Milton has become.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
The candidate acknowledges Milton is transitioning from a rural town to a city and states the need to embrace change to survive future growth.
In their words: “Its foundation wasn’t built for the change we have seen over the last 20 years and won’t be able to survive the change of the next 20 unless we stop thinking like a small town” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
The text notes that the Niagara Escarpment limits urban development and ensures North Milton retains rural values.
In their words: “To the North and West we have the Niagara Escarpment which will limit urban development and provide Milton with an old growth ecosystem that we must respect.” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
The candidate proposes creating a single point of contact for residents and businesses to improve how Town Hall interacts with the public.
In their words: “The most efficient method would be to create single point of contact both Virtually and in Person, similar to what many people have experienced with a Corporate IT Service Desk” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
The platform includes a commitment to creating processes that make transit more responsive to residents' changing needs.
In their words: “Create processes that will make Transit more responsive to the changing needs of residents” — their site, captured 2026-08-23
For each theme: what the candidate answered, what their own website says, and what the council record shows if they have sat on Council. The three are set beside each other and left there. Nothing is scored, and no conclusion is drawn on the reader's behalf.
No questionnaire answers yet. Until they arrive this shows only their website and, for sitting members, their record.

This searches a named set of local news feeds for their full name, or their title and surname together. A bare surname is never matched, so coverage that only says “the councillor” does not appear here, and neither does anything the feeds do not carry.
This is a record of what the Town certified and what the candidate publishes themselves. It contains no rating, ranking or endorsement, and no assessment of any candidate. Corrections are welcome and acted on within 48 hours — see the methodology page.
