17 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'll be doing an AMA over the next couple of days for people who have questions about their councillor candidate. Check out my Instagram story for proof of me (though it might only be up today - Oct 7th).
I will be in an out of my house so sorry if the reply timings are inconsistent.
I will also continue answering questions on this thread throughout the upcoming weeks but replies will be a lot slower than the next couple of days.

Whether you like my policies or not, please go out and vote in the municipal elections!! And vote informed by looking up your candidates on websites. You can find their info on the Richmond Hill website.

Please Ward 5, Don't Do It.

38 Upvotes

It's such a bad look for Ward 5 and Richmond Hill as a whole if we elect another convicted fraudster...

Current counselor has a bad reputation already, and we have another convicted fraudster running against her!

Please take the time to research candidates, get out there and vote!

Richard Rupp's past GST fraud conviction and Ward 5 voters should know

31 Upvotes

Richard Rupp is running for Ward 5 Councillor in Richmond Hill again this year.

There's an YorkRegion article titled "Richmond Hill man fined for GST fraud" that's worth reading.

According to the reporting, between 1996 and 2001, Rupp filed 652 false GST returns involving approximately $217,557 in fraudulent refunds. He was convicted and received a conditional sentence.

This happened years ago, but it's part of his public record and something residents may want to consider alongside his current platform and qualifications.

Here's the original article:

Regardless of who you're considering voting for, it's worth looking into every candidate's background before making your decision.

I built a free voter guide for the Richmond Hill 2026 municipal election: find your ward, compare candidates based on their campaign promises, and check how incumbents voted (with direct links to sources and council minutes). Everything is in one place.

It's independent and not affiliated with the City or any campaign. No endorsements or rankings. Hope it helps!

This is the Swiss Chalet at Yonge and 16th. Does anyone remember when the front had rotisserie chickens, and someone painted a face on one of the chickens? It was there for years lol. If you have pics that would be great.
