2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

I wonder if anyone has been making calls to David Miler?

Wonder if he would run on a low taxes and increasing the police force campaign again?

Miller got rid of Julian Fantino, which might be Toronto's greatest accomplishment in police reform in a generation.

Please no. Let's not dig up old fossils from the past.

I'm kind of liking the idea of Mike Layton as mayor. Seems pretty level headed and likeable, and not too stridently progressive that would make him unappealing to all those suburbanites...

It all depends on who else throws their hat in the ring however (if even he does).

Nick Kouvalis has already decided who the next mayor of Toronto will be. The race is already over.

What did he do? From what I recall he didn't do anything, as his contract expired and the PSB voted (2-2) not to renew it. I don't think Miller was even on the board until 2005.

If I had to make a bet, this will come down to Ana Bailao vs Josh Matlow with every other mayoral candidate behind them. I could get behind and support Ana Bailao if she jumps in.

 

[ShonTron]

Bailao? Nah.

As we’re not going to get our perfect or even great candidate, I could easily settle for Mike Layton, though I don’t think he wants to run, or Josh Matlow.

Yes, Matlow has some big flaws. He’s only started to come around on housing issues, and he doesn’t work well with many councillors. But he would stand up to Queen’s Park and Metrolinx better than almost anyone else. I’d take him over a Bailao, or especially against a snake like Brad Bradbrad.

Bailao would just be a different flavour of Tory. She's very status quo. Not what this city needs.

What people think the city needs, and what the city wants seem to be a big divide.

Given such low voter turnout, who really knows what “the city” wants

It's possible indeed. I think an election with no big names is the best way to find out. Should be exciting.

First step. There must be a council meeting during which the office of the mayor will officially be declared vacant and a bylaw will be passed authorizing the filling of the vacancy with a byelection. The next scheduled city council meeting is on March 29, HOWEVER, they could call a SPECIAL meeting before that to pass the bylaw.

A report on CBC that the two candidates Conservative political organizers are talking about are Brad Bradford and Stan Cho.

Would a councillor have to resign if they run for mayor?

No.
