I wonder how long it will be before Etobicoke-Lakeshore starts swinging progressive. I was a little surprised with Eglinton-Lawrence.

If one accounts for "Bailao left-moderates" among the progressive-adjacent, it might already be latently there-ish.

Eg-Law is too "Don Valley West West" in the E, and too "York South-Weston East" in the W. (And I also wonder how much certain voting demos--in this case, Jewish & Italian--make a difference)

How about a busway?

Is @Towered doing that well? If so, I should have buttered him up more.... LOL

I mean a couple hundred mil burning a hole in his pocket and he lives in Holyday's Ward? LOL

Interesting that Saunders came a distant third even in Ford country. Doug might have been better off endorsing Bailao.

Or that might have sunk Bailao as much as Saunders?

Have to look at this Bradford number:

Once the heir apparent to Tory.......wow....

Doubled by Chloe Brown (who, btw, ran a respectable, and far better campaign than him).......but bloody Chris Sky within 1,300 votes....

Ouch!

He finished 8th....

Molly the Dog and her owner Toby Heaps finished 19th with 593 votes.

A different kind of ouch: 4.7% in his home ward--Perruzza got 10.7% in *his* home ward...

Don't we sometimes see people who vote for the Provincial PCs also vote for the Federal Liberals around the same time? Because, I presume, they have some notion of keeping the various political Parties in check? Possibly, even among Dofo's fanbase, these folk found themselves studying both Ford and Saunders, and thought: "Yeah, one bull-necked thug leading a local government is quite enough!"

A heart-warming thought: Odds are that Ford is currently grinding his teeth in impotent rage that his endorsement didn't do so hot. That Tory's endorsed candidate did better might make Thug even angrier. Tee hee.

Chris Saccoccia, known as Chris Sky, received over 7,700 votes in Toronto’s byelection. He made a name for himself after organizing rallies against COVID-19 public health orders across the country during the pandemic.

Saccoccia commented on the results as they trickled in, saying he “exposed the largest act of fraud in Canadian history.”

So the 4D chess move would have been for him to endorse Chow?

He got that right, I am not sure how he got 7K.

Don't know if turnout was mentioned yet......

38%; more than the 29% of the last general municipal election last fall; but far less than Toronto's post amalgamation high of 60%.

We all know Scarborough deserves something much better than a busway!

 

[EddyMCD]

When did Etobicoke become so conservative? Is it all the Ford effect?

 

[nfitz]

Is this the closest Toronto mayoral election ever??

Looking back since amalgamation, it looks like it. Though it's similar, but slightly closer, to the 2003 election when David Miller beat John Tory by 5.2% and 36,000 votes.

A different kind of ouch: 4.7% in his home ward--Perruzza got 10.7% in *his* home ward...

I'm also a bit surprised that Chow beat Bailão by almost 20% in Davenport (50% to 30%) - where Bailão got about 84% of the vote in the 2018 election!

Also, looking at Peruzza's ward (Ward 7, Humber - Black Creek); it's also Mammoliti's ward. And in 2018 Peruzza beat Mammoliti 37% to 25%. But this time, Mammoliti finished 10th with only 258 votes, and 1.5%. I think that's the last we see from Mammoliti.

Meanwhile in Matlow's ward (Toronto-St. Pauls), where he got 85% as councillor in 2022; this time he got 19.3%, finishing 3rd.
