Another problem she faces is that hardly anybody pays attention to the school board as that riding has very few school-age children.

I only know Ausma from my days with the NDP. She worked in the ONDP office for years. Anyone who dealt with the NDP knows who she is.
She did a lot of outreach and door to door canvassing last election

Colle to retire from municipal politics.

Maybe he just wanted to move into provincial politics given the Liberal vacuum.

I thought Colle would be conservative.

His father is Mike Colle, the former Liberal MPP for Eglinton-Lawrence. Josh Colle is a pragmatic right-leaning Liberal.

Just saying for all the progressives voices on here with Colle leaving you have a real chance to swing the balance of council this election. Good luck. I hope you don't but even I admit there is a good chance of it happening.

This is from his campaign website:
About Oleksandr Bomshteyn
Oleksandr Bomshteyn is a small-business owner running to bring positive change in his community at Toronto City Hall. He believes it's time for City Council to put residents back at the centre of its services.
Oleksandr was born in the small town of Konotop in Ukraine. He was 13 years old, when he came to Toronto to study. It was a world of difference from his home country, full of opportunity and promise. While in school Oleksandr was introduced to his future wife Avigail, also a student from Ukraine. They were married in 2006 and are raising their three children in Ward 13.
City Councillor's number one job is to listen to residents, respond to their concerns in a timely manner, and advocate for frontline services at City Hall
Oleksandr is a former financial advisor, and currently a business owner of a web development and consulting firm, located here in Toronto. In his role, he has worked with companies across many sectors to advise them on the best technology solutions to help streamline and improve their business. He wants to bring this same enthusiasm and experience to the City Hall, to help modernize and streamline services for Torontonians. To make it work for the people, not the “system”.
Over the last decade, the infrastructure in our ward has not improved, with every winter causing more watermain breaks and potholes than the last. Added to that, there are long wait times to have these issues fixed for residents.
All the while city council spent many hours and thousands of your tax dollars debating inconsequential projects, like the mural design for an underpass, instead of addressing the five-day wait for snow to be cleared in one case for our community this winter.
Oleksandr strongly believes the city needs to do a better job prioritizing critical infrastructure improvements like road and watermain repairs. Oleksandr also believes in modernizing the TTC to offer reliable and convenient transportation options for the residents of Ward 13 residents. He will make sure residents are part of the process in shepherding new developments in the neighbourhood and look for new ways to relieve congestion in our neighbourhoods.
Above all, Oleksandr believes a City Councillor's number one job is to listen to residents, respond to their concerns in a timely manner, and advocate for frontline services at City Hall.

Grimey has registered for Ward 6. As he is joined to Grimey by the hip, expect Justin Di Dunpar to do the same.

It will be interesting to see if the police investigations conclude before the election.
