Another interesting section:
'While Bailão raised more money, Chow had more donors. The financial statements list all contributions over $100, and show Chow had more than 4,300 of them, averaging about $340 each.
By contrast, Bailão’s statement lists only about 1,300, but they averaged more than $1,600 each.'
-
LOL bit in Ben Spurr's story in the Star about Toronto mayoral by-election finances:
'On June 21, Tory broke his promise to stay out of the race and recorded a message of support for Bailão, while Ford warned Chow would be an “unmitigated disaster” if elected.
One day later Chow received about $53,000 in donations, more than double her campaign’s average daily take, and its fourth best day of the race.'

Just received a hand-signed thank-you note from our new mayor, for my small part in getting out the vote. She's newly mayor of this city of ~3 million people, so it surprises and pleases me :-) This act of kindness aligns with her approach throughout her campaign: people first. #voteTO #progressToronto

So a byelection is coming for Ward 20 #Scarborough Southwest, it seems!
Who is the progressive candidate we should all direct our attention, donations, and volunteer time towards? Progress Toronto in 2022 endorsed Kevin Rupasinghe, so maybe he's up for another run?
2022 election results:
Gary Crawford 8216
Parthi Kandavel 6936
Kevin Rupasinghe 3208 -
"Chow agrees with Cruise" is a subhead that made me laugh out loud.

As I thought, in the #Toronto mayor's by-election #OliviaChow won over 60,000 votes to Ana Bailao's just over 19,000 votes in the advanced polls.
On E-day, Bailao won about 216,000 votes to Chow's just under 209,000 votes.
The John Tory endorsement, and the massive robocalling didn't matter. A big chunk of Chow's votes were already in the ballot box.
For those at the Chow victory party, the advanced poll results were counted after the E-day poll results.

Back in Toronto after 10 days in Vancouver. What did I miss?
-
What a relief. We have a mayor explicitly committed to growing affordable housing, public transit and support services for citizens. I'm new to this mega-city's municipal politics, we'll see how much power she can actually wield. But today I have hope. ☀️

Olivia Chow elected mayor of Toronto in a "change election"
"There's a recognition that ...The lack of affordable housing, problems with transit, perceived deterioration of municipal services ... all trace back to a lack of revenue on the part of the city."
"Chow has promised to not use the 'strong mayor' powers granted by Ford's government... If she keeps her word, that means any tax hike will need council support.
Winning that support begins in earnest today."Let the change begin

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote. This election was a lot closer than any of the polls predicted, and should serve as a reminder that no election is ever a foregone conclusion.

Congratulations to mayor-elect Olivia Chow!
As a candidate you recognized the urgent need for action to address the housing crisis, so we see a lot of potential to work together towards this shared objective. We look forward to working with you to deliver more housing for more neighbours. 🥂

In 2014, John Tory got 40.28% of the vote. Nobody claimed he had no mandate.
Tonight, Olivia Chow earned over 37% of the vote.
In fact, progressive candidates advocating for real change, for higher taxes to repair our city, earned over 47.5%, just in the top 7 candidates.
Candidates who just wanted to hire more police officers, on the other hand, only got 14.8% or so.

Please vote for mayor in Toronto today, if you are able. I cast my vote for Olivia Chow, as the progressive candidate with seemingly the greatest chance of winning. Toronto needs a change from the last 12 years of unimaginative leadership. #VoteTO

Oh look at that, Ford-Tory-Ford's neglect in favour of tax cuts continues to damage Toronto, this time they're damaging the future!
RFP (Request for Proposals) for new Line 2 subway trains (needed* for the Scarborough extension to open!) has been cancelled due to lack of funding.
https://stevemunro.ca/2023/06/26/ttc-cancels-rfp-for-new-subway-trains/
* needed unless we spend hundreds of millions to retrofit existing trains, or install obsolete signals in the new tunnels.

I have a theory about the results. We already know who the top two will be, almost certainly, and maybe even the top ten we can make a good stab at, based on the yellow boxes. But I think there will be one more interesting thing in the results: ballot design confusion by some voters, leading to higher than expected numbers for those in pink.
We won't know until the results roll in. But I'm interested to see!

Toronto mayoral by-election polling chart update. Basically, for all the noise, five different polling firms across two months have found a consistent situation. But the actual votes decide, not the polls, so make a plan to vote June 26th!

Spent a couple of hours flyering in The Beaches, hand-delivering an explainer on how our own current city councillor makes election promises but consistently votes opposite once he's in 😡
I guess he'd be a good mayor for developers, and the rich. But that's not my agenda. #voteTO
I love that our #progressToronto flyers bring receipts ;-> (see image)

From Waterfront Toronto: “After much anticipation, Love Park will officially be opening on June 23rd!! 💌
The 2-acre park will feature a 165-metre heart-shaped pond with pond-side seating, tree-lined sidewalks, and dedicated park furniture that can be moved to suit your vantage point! Dogs can also enjoy Love Park in an off-leash area along Harbor Street's northeast edge of the green space. 🐶 “

Remember the old circular offramp from the Gardiner in downtown? Now it’s a beautiful new park. Removing excess car infrastructure makes TO better.
Waterfront Toronto: “Come enjoy the new green space in the community on June 23rd at 12PM!! Celebrate the beginning of summer with live music, special guest speakers, family-friendly fun activities, free snacks, and an exciting surprise for attendees.”

“There are 3.2 to 4.4 parking spots for every vehicle in Canada.”
So literally, mathematically, parking spaces in Canada spend at least 69-77% of their existence empty, more really since a bunch are being driven at any given moment.
