If elected mayor of Toronto, Doug Ford says he’ll “guarantee” that any money collected from the sale of city buildings will be earmarked to build subways.

It’s one of nine “revenue tools” the Ford campaign says it will use to pay for a massive expansion of the subway network, a plan critics dismiss as fanciful.

“We want to take the under-utilized property in Toronto, sell it at a premium and make sure that it goes directly to subways, not the general coffers,” Ford said Thursday standing in the financial district.

Ford has been vice-chair of Build Toronto, the agency charged with selling off city real estate, for the past four years. Currently, the agency has $540 million worth of revenue on the books, he said.

Last year, Build Toronto didn’t make a single sale and so far this year has sold only one property.

“You have to realize the market, it’s up and down,” Ford said about the dearth of sales. “Some properties take a little while to change the zoning, to make sure that we have a buyer.” He added the agency will pump about $30 million into city coffers this year.

But mayoral frontrunner John Tory said Ford’s stewardship is the reason Build Toronto has not fulfilled its promise.

“Only Doug Ford and the Ford sideshow could have turned in the most lucrative property market in North America … into an organization that actually lost $2.1 million dollars,” he said, referring to 2013.

“Build Toronto could be a very useful source of funding for a lot of things,” if there was new blood, including a new vice chair, and bring in someone else who knows what they’re doing.”

Ford has not yet laid out his campaign platform. The election is Oct. 27.

But an “elect Doug Ford” campaign brochure shows he’s running on Rob Ford’s platform of less taxation, less waste and a transit plan that’s all about building subways with no detailed proposal on how to pay for them.

Ford will oppose tearing down the Gardiner Expressway, support expanding Billy Bishop Airport, and seek to phase out the land transfer tax, invest $30 million annually to improve TTC service and keep property taxes below the rate of inflation.

In addition, the brochure says, he will contract-out garbage collection east of Yonge St., “bargain hard” with city unions during upcoming contract negotiations, and eliminate unspecified “perks, like the bottomless council general expense budget.”

Ford is also laying claim to a “proven track record” that mirrors his brother’s, such as helping to create 58,000 new jobs and find $750 million in savings. The Fords appear to have backed away from their claim of having achieved $1 billion in savings, after it was challenged by the city manager.
