Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

[JGHali]

It's far too much. And more than the Nazis in 1928...

Called it. Can't believe people thought Keesmaat had that much of a shot.

3rd place Goldy, 3.4%. Anyone who seriously thought she'd manage 10% needs their head examined. (Though of course, 3.4% is too much for the *left* to bear--heck, .34% would be too much for the left to bear. But heck, all that trollpaigning had to be good for *something*. Probably a whole bunch of "she wuz robbed" on Twitter and Sun comments and what have you, though)

She'll disappear now, not enough voteshare to even make noise n Toronto going forward. 10% or above would have raised eyebrows. Twitter Politics is little more than paid promoters and bots.

I'm not sure many people thought she'd actually win.

Sadly no. She got more than most of us would have expected for a city that is over 50% visible minorities. And more importantly she's bolstered her profile. She'll be even more of a troll going forward.

I have seen people on UT and reddit thinking she could win. Mostly folks who get wrapped on transit issues and think the average voter thinks like them.

So, I've seen one or two of you call council right-centre-left.

Anyone else?

My read is 10 Right, 9 Left, 6 Centre.

I don't see any of the 10 on the right moving to the middle.

Or any of the 9 being mushy either.

I"m trying to decide if the six will break clearly one way or the other.

My Prediction:

Poll before the election : 5o% Tory 45%Keesmaat 5%Other

Actual result: 65% Tory 25%Keesmaat 10%Other

The Star even threw in the towel when she could justify more than 30%

Almost nailed it. Although this election was as straight forward as any.

How can anyone this offensive get even 3% of anything?

A twitter troll yes. But her election days are basically done.

Saying that im sure someone similar will take the torch (bad pun) next time.

Hope to find out how much the scarborough subway is going to cost torontonians tomorrow.

I missed something. What is tomorrow?

Ranked ballot not needed for Mayor of Toronto, at least for this year.

As Ezra Levant said about Faith Goldy last week, "You can’t go on a one-year racist bender and then say, 'Okay, I’m done. And now I’m gonna run a normal conservative campaign for mayor of Toronto.'"

He isn't lying.

Yep. She now knows which Toronto district to choose for a federal run.

Isn’t she someone who would have the blue party running for the hills? I’d have mentioned the other two but I can’t see her self-identifying as orange or red or green.
