Gary (Crawford) getting himself caught being close to people with less than stellar reputations.
Not, unto itself, proof of any wrong doing; but lousy optics if nothing else.

She's more Jill Stein or Tulsi Gabbard than Faith Goldy.
Remember, too, that there were *3* far-righters last time (James Sears & Chris Brosky were the others). If all that end of the spectrum has to offer now is a parked vote w/Climenhaga because she sounds the right notes on vax mandates and the like, well...

Looks like ole Gil is walking back his deeply unpopular turn the airport into a park announcement. Guess someone told him there was a park on the island already or that he doesn't really get to decide that this term.

Gil might win if Toronto had a ranked ballot approach for mayoral elections.

I don't think he has enough support to pull that off.

I don't think so either. He needs to stop with the comparisons to the Bay Area in every interview he gives - do you know how rich you need to be to live anywhere close to San Francisco? His platform is for rich liberals who need to feel good about themselves and make a beautiful city (for rich people to live in). It will be interesting to see his support in the traditionally working class and more ethnic labour left areas of the city - I don't think he speaks for or to these people.

OK Folks, make your wild predictions here!
I'm going with Tory wins with 60% of the vote. Gil gets 25%. There will be a surprise (to some) of high support in most of downtown for Tory.

Tory around 50-60, Gil under 20%.

I think Tory hits the high 60s, Penalosa the high teens.

Happy 4 more years of Status Quo Day to all! Cant wait for more of absolutely nothing happening across the city.

Chloe seems to have eaten away at some of Gil's primary-opposition momentum.

His campaign was bleeding and the self imposed wound on the airport did not help.
