Toronto's reputation has suffered greatly at the hands of former mayor Rob Ford, but now that Ford is no longer in office, we have another sitting member of council giving the city a bad name.

Councillor Jim Karygiannis is being openly paid by taxi lobbies to wage war against Uber and its drivers. This is neither an allegation nor a rumor, it is a documented fact.

We are hereby calling for a criminal probe that would not only investigate Karygiannis' political activities, but also examine his overall conduct.

This petition comes on the heels of Karygiannis' latest confrontation with a citizen of Toronto, who happened to be an Uber driver, which you can read about here.

This confrontation was not the first of its kind. Karygiannis has also used his position with the city to intimidate another Toronto driver.

Due to the nature of why the latest incident took place, Councillor Karygiannis' political interests must be brought into question, as well as whether or not he possesses the mental and emotional acuity required to serve the public.
