John Filion (/ˈfɪliən/ ⓘ FIL-ee-ən; born 1950) is a former Toronto city councillor represented Ward 18 Willowdale.

[1] Although he had planned to retire in 2018, after the legislation from Premier Doug Ford which expanded ward boundaries, he decided to run for re-election because he believes it makes it "virtually impossible for a community activist, known within one area, to get elected".

He was elected to North York's city council in 1990 replacing retiring councillor Jim McGuffin.

[6] Executives from the Toronto Parking Authority and Giorgio Mammoliti pushed for a deal that would have had the city overpay by approximately $2.6 million for a piece of land in Mammoliti's ward, according to a report to Toronto City Council by law firm Torys LLP.

According to the report Filion told the TPA's vice president of real estate, Maria Casista, "I'm calling the cops".

[11] Meddling city bureaucracy and expensive, city-specified food carts that malfunctioned were some of the reasons cited for the failure of Filion's program.
