    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    Mammoliti accuses Jane-Finch audience of "segregating themselves" in his closing remarks (starting around 2:38 mark):

    "Downtown" elites?

    Surprised how high the poverty rate is in the Bay St. Corridor. I assume it's artificially inflated by graduate students etc.

    It would be great to drive the Nunziatas out of Toronto politics for good.

    "Downtown" elites?

    Toronto Centre/Ward 13 has the highest poverty rate in the city: https://www.thestar.com/news/toronto-election/2018/10/01/child-poverty-plagues-every-corner-of-toronto-census-data-shows.html

    About how Cressy is doing nothing about traffic, transit, or whatever else is annoying him today.

    I'm getting these annoying Kevin Vuong ads in my Facebook feed where he stands in front of the Gardiner onramp at Spadina saying nothing is being done.

    I support tearing down the eastern Gardiner. Keesmaat is right on this one.

    Keesmaat's message seems to be: I basically believe in the same things as John Tory, but I'll be more effective and won't dither.

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    Unfortunate to see progressive forces so weak in York South-Weston and Scarborough Southwest, two ridings that went NDP in the provincial election.

    FWIW Perruzza's former EA is now the MPP for Humber River-Black Creek.

    Giorgio Mammoliti‏@mammolitiward7 Giorgio Mammoliti Retweeted David Rider Main Street who? Oh , you mean the lefty, not known polling company? I have seen three polls as of yesterday and they all have me winning. Either Main Street is wrong or they are just trying to sway vote through the...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    Overall, the Mainstreet poll is discouraging. Mammoliti may get knocked off but overall it's an uphill battle to change the balance of council.

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    I would also add that many ridings went PC because of the trend and in spite of Ford doing poorly in them municipally (Eglinton-Lawrence, Etobicoke-Lakeshore, Willowdale). There's a lot of people who (rather naively) thought "adults in the room" would take control and they'd get a normal PC...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    What seats would those be besides Etobicoke North? Even Scarborough North - a very "Ford Nation" riding - became a PC seat when Raymond Cho first won it under Brown's leadership.

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    I doubt it - his approval rating is ridicuolously low and he doesn't even make the pretense of governing for anyone but his hardcore base. Either way it's fair to say around 2/3 of Torontonians are already virulently anti-Ford, so it's hard to say his unpopularity is "overstated" or anybody but...

    My guess is Keesmaat wins 6 or 7 inner wards.

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    There is a lot of "anyone but Ford" sentiment in Toronto, but he's not on the ballot municipally.

    Here's how the vote went last time by riding/ward: Ward 1 Etobicoke North Ford 69.39% Tory 16.81% Chow 10.49% Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre Tory 43.86% Ford 43.38% Chow 10.85% Ward 3 Etobicoke-Lakeshore Tory 46.59% Ford 34.25% Chow 17.05% Ward 4 Parkdale-High Park Tory 43.63%...
