Any time a candidate gets northof 50% of the vote in a 3+ candidate election it is a decisive victory. Narrative coming out of this election should be voter turnout and how do we sustain this in future elections? Losing by 14% BB still had more votes than 7/10 last winning mayors
Replying to @dmrider
It's true that Chow's win doesn't look big compared to past Toronto incumbent mayors. However, voters kicked lots of Ontario mayors (Mississauga, Windsor, Hamilton, etc.) to the curb. Also, Bradford, to his credit, made this a real fight, unlike Miller-Pitfield or Tory-Penalosa

If Chow is not in the race, can a non-Chow candidate drive the GOTV they way Chow can. I think that is what makes her win even more impressive this time around.

What this also shows is somehow Brad Bradford in losing, got more votes than 7 out of the 10 winning mayors since amalgamation. 1 million voter turnout in a municipal election is great for the democratic process. Both candidates should be applauded for their GOTV efforts.
Votes received by Toronto mayors since amalgamation. (In addition to the candidate/campaign, this is also impacted by the quality of the opponents, number of ways the vote splits, city population, off-year elections, etc.)

The Raptors facility being next to Medieval Times needs to account for something. The stable is right there.
Any team that isn’t already building an all-season horse ranch and racing track next to their practice facility is falling behind

After owning a Tesla for four years, the Saturday after the American inauguration we sold ours and bought an electric Ford. We were starting to get uncomfortable with it before, but after watching Musk that day, it became an obvious choice for us. nytimes.com/2025/03/03/busin…

So the ADL and others have tried to say this isn’t a Nazi salute. You know who hasn’t said that? Elon Musk.

This production should not be promoted during @TIFF_NET until they pay the actors, crew and the numerous small business which support the film industry in Northern Ontario @IATSECANADA
