I did write to the Waterloo mayor expressing my support for her vote about the police budget vote and got a response thanking me for writing in. So maybe write to your elected officials about their votes.
As for taxes, I understand that it can be tough for some of us to pay the bills. But in a high inflation environment what's the alternative? I kind of think that Ontario municipalities have had this thing where there has been chronic underfunding of services. Cities also have to pay the bills. Where is the money going to come from?
(I don't think this is as true of the federal government and maybe provincial governments. But it is definitely true of municipal governments.)
