YOU VOTED FOR THIS: Toronto voters had a chance to elect a mayor who wouldn't turn their back on rising crime, antisemitism and decline. They failed.

This aged well. #topoli
It's not going to be a close election in Toronto. Brad Bradford will win by at least 5% of the vote. I can't believe more than 42 percent of Torontonians are total morons who would vote to reelect a corrupt, incompetent, communist imbecile.

"You don't get a promotion if you haven't been doing your job," Chow to Bradford. So true. #topoli

Bradford clearly does not know the meaning of "misconception." #TOpoli

This is a magical night for those of us who live in Ward 19. If your cable is working, this is the most we've seen of Brad Bradford in 8 years. #topoli

Bradford's line-by-line budget audit is a direct echo of Rob Ford's Gravy Train rhetoric. Anyone remember how that worked out? #topoli

Brad Bradford wants to tear up bike lanes, then tells the debate he wants to get cars off the road. Every credible study says if you give drivers more lanes, more cars will fill them up. #topoli

If people feel unsafe in this city, it's because fear-mongering Bradford has been telling everyone to be fearful for three years. All violent crime is down under Chow leadership. #topoli

I am voting for Olivia Chow for Mayor of Toronto. Her commitment to a city that works for everyone has been clear and deserves support. She is wise and caring. She pushes forward with courage and compassion and has the integrity and consistency we need at this moment.

She’s going to win because there’s not enough anger, says pollster Chow 51% Bradford 34% Alexander 9% Interestingly, a large percentage want change at city hall, but evidently see Chow as the change candidate toronto.citynews.ca/2026/09/…

Over the weekend, the Bradford campaign challenged the media to do this "scavenger hunt" to uncover supposed places where Olivia Chow frittered away the provincial New Deal money. Challenge accepted. From my newsletter this week, here’s what I found.
