2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

[Amare]

I agree with Keesmaat, John Tory's endorsement came a week too late.

Otherwise this would be a landslide right now

Which goes to show many people in this city would've voted for John Tory....yet again...had he been running for mayor in this.

Somehow people continue to love: status quo, crumbing/decaying infrastructure, increased rates of violence, increased homelessness, degraded transit, reduced city services, and a non-improved city. That's my bigger take away from this election no matter who the winner is, and it's very concerning.

Only up 5000 now. This is gonna be close

LOL

Brad Brad truly is the Connor Roy of this election. Assuming he keeps his 1%.

 

[Fresco]

Chow is now in the lead

And Gong has less than half a point, behind Perruzza. (And what's with Lyall Sanders? How did he hold *that* kind of vote?)

 

[adma]

I'm also definitely getting a vibe of advance polling making a difference. (Particularly given how individual ward results shifted Chow-ward)

 

[GenerationW]

Looks like Chow is pulling ahead and will win, but I didn't expect this at all.

Is this the closest Toronto mayoral election ever??

I'm trying to think back, but I cant remember one being this close

Interestingly enough, though, her vote share is consistent with polling.

 

[Fresco]

Chow up 17,000 now.

Its over, rover

LOL at the Bailao media PR person saying "we're seeing momentum now"

 

[Northern Light]

Interestingly enough, though, her vote share is consistent with polling.

Chow's share is in the ballpark, but Bailao is overshooting substantially.

So it would appear she did become the anybody but Chow candidate. She's showing what, 10 points over who her best poll?

Art Eggleton won by less than a point over John Sewell in '80.
