(《加拿大和世界报道》记者Peter Morgan 多伦多独家报道)加拿大多伦多市长补选从2023年5月拉开帷幕,6月8日至13日上午10点到晚上7点是提前投票日期,6月26日为最后投票日。目前,竞选活动正如火如荼地进行中。

根据多伦多市政府网站(https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/elections/by-election/by-election-candidate-list)公布,在 5 月 12 日报名截止日期之后,共有 102 名候选人成功登记参加多伦多市长补选。多伦多市政府的一份新闻稿显示,这是合并后的多伦多市登记的市长候选人人数最多的一次,超过了 2014 年市长选举中 65 名候选人的纪录。 在 2022 年的市长选举中,有 31 名经过政府认证的多伦多市长候选人。

记者发现,在今年的102位市长候选人中,通过英文姓名判断,约8名为华人华裔(Chan, Roland、Chow, Olivia、Gao, Feng、Gong, Xiao Hua、He, Heather、Tang, Weizhen、Wei, Yuanqian、Yan, Nathalie Xian Yi)。其中,包括加拿大原金融企业家、社区活动家、慈善家唐炜臻。

唐炜臻在多伦多生活、工作30多年,熟悉政治,金融,司法和媒体,是多伦多的一个话题人物。他的政治理念是为多伦多市民争取更多福利和资源,促进城市的可持续发展。唐炜臻表示他以前经历的各种坎坷和艰难险阻,使他更加成熟和坚强,敢于迎接挑战就是他参选市长的理由。唐炜臻将以丰富的人生经历、能力和实际行动来证明他能实现对多伦多市民的承诺,推动多伦多的改变和进步。

唐炜臻坚定认为,多伦多和加拿大应该加强同包括中国在内的众多国家之间的经济联系,如同他所敬重的巴菲特最近在全球股东大会所说,中美两国都具有竞争力,都能达成繁荣发展的愿景,中国将会成为更好的国家,美国也可以如此,两国需要友好相处。政府的工作非常重要,双方应当要理解彼此,不做破坏双方关系的事。巴菲特和芒格在股东大会上的表态凸显了美国商界维护中美双边关系的合理诉求,也凸显了美国商界对中国经济发展的信心。多伦多和加拿大商界也应该学习巴菲特和芒格的企业理念,以经济合作为导向,做一切有利于人民福利和国家经济发展的实事。

唐炜臻曾在2010年第一次参加有41位候选人参与竞争的市长选举,选举结果名列前第二十位。

如果唐炜臻或其他华人华裔当选多伦多第66任市长,将是多伦多历史上第一位华人华裔市长,在加拿大华人华裔参政历史上具有重要里程碑意义。除引起加拿大本地和全球30多家华文媒体报道外,也引起美国和加拿大近300家英文媒体的报道。

6月23日,国际著名通讯社美联社( Associated Press)以“市长候选人唐炜臻:为多伦多带来经济繁荣的承诺”(Mayoral Candidate Weizhen Tang: Promising Economic Prosperity for Toronto )为题发布了他的英文竞选新闻,美国雅虎新闻(Yahoo.com)、美国《数码日报》(Digital Journal )等著名美国新闻媒体,美国全国和地区新闻媒体如《今日政治动态》(Political Updates Today)、《全球金融观察家》(Global Finance Observer)、《金融市场网络》(Financial Markets Network)、《现代金融在线》(Modern Finance Online)、《货币银行与我》(Publishers Post Observer)、《全球金融导报》(Global Finance Herald)、《金融科技世界邮报》(Fintech World Post)、《美国商业时报》(American Business Times)、《世界政治报告》(World Politics Report)、《今天的银行业》(Today in Banking)、《政治信使》(The Political Ledger)、《全球政治记者》(Global Politics Reporter)、《今日金融业》(Finance Industry Today)、《投资者新闻更新》(Investor News Updates)、《今日法律》(Today in Law)、《今日金融》(Today in Finance)、《世界财富杂志》(World Wealth Journal)、《选举邮报观察员》(Elections Post Observer)、《政治记者在线》(Political Reporter Online)、《政府每日评论》(The Government Daily Review)、《竞选和选举新闻》(Campaigns & Elections News)、《金融时报公报》(Finance Times Gazette)、《经济新闻稿》(Economy Press Releases)、《今天的商业》(Today in Business)、《投资者世界评论》(Investor World Review)、《图书世界公报》(Book World Gazette)、《世界出版评论》(World Publishing Review)、《全球政治观察家》(Global Political Observer)、《个人财富指南》(Personal Wealth Guide)、《我的选举日记》(My Election Journal)、《美国金融论坛报》(American Financial Tribune)、《给选民的新闻》(News For Voters)、《政治新闻观察》(Political Press Watch)、《今日美国出版商》(American Publisher Today)。

市长候选人唐炜臻:为多伦多带来经济繁荣的承诺

唐炜臻,一位生物学家、学者和金融企业家,最近宣布参选多伦多市长竞选。凭借着使多伦多经济复苏的大胆承诺,唐炜臻决心“让多伦多再次富裕”。凭借他独特的人生经历和在金融领域的成功,唐炜臻相信自己拥有领导这座城市走向经济繁荣所需的技能。

唐炜臻的旅程始于1982年,当时他从中南林业科技大学毕业。凭借出色的学术表现,他获得了在同一所大学的教职机会,并最终成为微生物学助理教授。1987年,唐炜臻作为访问学者前往俄亥俄州立大学进修,进一步扩展了他的知识。

在追求知识和机遇的驱动下,唐炜臻于1990年在滑铁卢大学攻读研究生学位。他在那里表现出色,获得全额奖学金。唐炜臻于1992年获得生物学硕士学位,并在多伦多综合医院和多伦多儿童医院等知名机构担任人类遗传疾病的研究员。

1996年,唐炜臻决定进入金融界,创办了唐炜臻公司(Weizhen Tang & Associates, Inc.)。从4000加拿大元的小额资金起步,唐炜臻的公司经历了稳定增长,在一年内达到了令人瞩目的400万加拿大元。他的金融才智引起了加拿大投资公司Gorinsen的注意,双方成功合作,为零售投资者进行股票投资。尽管面临1997年亚洲金融危机的挫折,唐炜臻表现出坚韧精神,并偿还了合作伙伴和客户的损失。唐炜臻作为金融专家的声誉不断提高,2006年出版了他的书籍《我的巴菲特财富之路》(中文版)和2018年出版的《华人巴菲特》(英文版)。

2007年,唐炜臻金融公司在多伦多成立,随后于2008年获得安大略证券委员会(OSC)的批准,成为注册的专业金融和有限市场经纪人。唐炜臻通过积极参与慈善活动,包括支持中国的灾难救援工作和多伦多当地社区项目,展示出对社区参与的承诺。

然而,唐炜臻的投资生涯在全球金融危机期间遭遇了挫折。到2009年,他的资产管理规模已接近6000万加拿大元,但不幸的市场环境导致他失去了资金。人生进入低谷,面临一系列挑战。

在2017年完全恢复自由后,唐炜臻决心利用他丰富的人生经历为多伦多的发展做出贡献。他坚信这座城市需要有效的领导来应对政治、经济和社会挑战。唐炜臻以前市长梅尔·拉斯曼为榜样,强调在市议会职位上需要商业导向的人士,而不仅仅是“脱口秀”明星。

面对多伦多15亿加元的巨额赤字,以及2023年8.8亿加元的紧迫挑战,唐炜臻展示了他雄心勃勃的竞选纲领。他计划通过投资美国股票指数ETF(具体来说是SPY),在一年内为城市创造100亿加元。此投资策略旨在取代所有的物业税,覆盖免费的多伦多公共交通,并解决赤字问题。此外,唐炜臻承诺恢复政府信任、保护文化,并将多伦多市民的幸福和福祉置于首位。

唐炜臻的愿景超越了多伦多的边界,他主张加强与美国、中国和其他国家的国际合作。他将多伦多设想为国际合作的典范,强调中国作为全球经济发展的宝贵合作伙伴的潜力。

唐炜臻的候选人身份在这座城市引发了支持和怀疑之声。一些人赞赏他的企业家精神和决心,而其他人因唐炜臻过去的法律纠纷事件,而质疑他能否有效地治理城市。然而,唐炜臻坚信自己的经历将极大地造福多伦多的管理,推动这座城市走向繁荣的未来。

随着市长竞选的白热化,多伦多市民热切期待即将到来的选举,以确定谁将领导他们的城市,并将其引领走向复兴的经济成功之路。

Mayoral Candidate Weizhen Tang: Promising Economic Prosperity for Toronto

Peter MorganCanada & World Report

Weizhen Tang, a biologist, academic, and financial entrepreneur, has recently announced his candidacy for the mayoral race in Toronto. With a bold promise to revitalize the city’s economy, Tang is determined to “Make Toronto rich again.” Drawing upon his unique life experiences and success in the financial sector, Tang believes he possesses the necessary skills to lead the city towards economic prosperity.

Tang, a graduate of Central South University of Forestry and Technology in China, excelled as an assistant professor of microbiology. His journey continued as a visiting scholar at the University of Ohio, culminating in a Master’s Degree in Biology from the University of Waterloo in 1992. Tang’s expertise flourished as a researcher, unraveling human genetic diseases at prestigious institutions in Toronto.

In 1996, Tang decided to venture into the finance world and founded Weizhen Tang & Associates, Inc. Starting with a modest fund of $4,000 CDN, Tang’s firm experienced steady growth, reaching an impressive $4 million within a year. His financial acumen captured the attention of Canadian investment firm Gorinsen, leading to a successful partnership in making stock investments for retail investors. Despite facing setbacks in the Asian financial crisis of 1997, Tang displayed resilience and reimbursed the losses of his partners and clients. Tang’s reputation as a financial expert continued to flourish, and in 2006, he published his book “My Way to Buffettian Wealth” (Chinese edition) and “The Chinese Warren Buffett” (English edition) published in 2018.

In 2007, Weizhen Tang Financial Corp. was established in Toronto, followed by the official approval of Weizhen Tang Corp. by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) as a registered professional financial and limited market dealer in 2008. Tang’s commitment to community involvement was evident through his active participation in charitable activities, including supporting disaster relief efforts in China and local community initiatives.

However, Tang’s journey faced a setback during the global financial crisis. By 2009, his assets under management had reached nearly 60 million Canadian dollars, but unfortunate market circumstances led to the loss of his funds and faced legal challenges. Even today, Tang still maintains his innocence for the treatment he experienced.

Following his complete freedom in 2017, Tang became determined to utilize his rich life experiences for the betterment of Toronto. He strongly believes that the city requires effective leadership to address its political, economic, and social challenges. Drawing inspiration from former Mayor Mel Lastman, Tang emphasizes the importance of having business-oriented individuals in city council positions rather than mere “talk show” stars.

With Toronto facing a significant deficit of 1.5 billion dollars and an immediate challenge of 880 million dollars in 2023, Tang has unveiled his ambitious campaign platform. He aims to generate 10 billion dollars for the city within a year by investing in US equity index ETFs, specifically SPY. This investment strategy is intended to replace all property taxes, cover free TTC services, and address the deficit. Additionally, Tang promises to restore trust, preserve culture and passion, and prioritize the happiness and well-being of Torontonians.

Tang’s vision extends beyond Toronto’s borders, as he advocates for strengthening international cooperation with the United States, China, and other countries. He envisions Toronto as a model of international collaboration, highlighting China’s potential as a valuable partner for global economic development.

Tang’s candidacy has sparked both support and skepticism within the city. While some admire his entrepreneurial spirit and determination, others question his ability to effectively govern based on his past legal troubles. Nevertheless, Tang remains resolute in his belief that his experiences will greatly benefit Toronto’s management and propel the city towards a prosperous future.

The highly anticipated Toronto Mayoral By-election is nearing its conclusion, with June 26 marking the last day for eligible voters to participate in this pivotal democratic event.

Throughout the campaign, candidates have engaged in spirited debates, showcasing their visions for the future of Toronto. The electorate has been actively following the discussions, weighing the merits of each candidate’s proposals and platforms.

As the deadline approaches, it is crucial for all eligible voters to exercise their democratic right and have their voices heard. The outcome of this by-election will shape the future trajectory of Toronto, impacting various aspects of governance, infrastructure, and community development.(英文来源:https://www.canadanewsreport.com/2023/06/19/12859/ 世界新闻网 )
