The surprise mayoral election is full of other surprises, like seeing the right on the defensive, chasing a progressive candidate with momentum and who is also in the lead.have consistently shown Olivia Chow soundly leading the pack. Considering the incredible number of people running in this election and with a half dozen actual contenders who realistically have a chance to win, it’s a remarkable thing, and a remarkable moment for Toronto and Toronto progressives.
Chow should probably take this all as a compliment: she’s become a proper threat to the right’s 12-year domination of the mayor’s office and it is novel to watch that side panic for a change, all of which is making this one of the most compelling elections to follow in a long time. Mark Saunders is focusing his campaign squarely on public safety with him the guy to save the city, portraying Toronto as a crime ridden and scary place that needs him, the guy who was in charge of making Toronto a crime free and not scary place until quite recently. That’s some very curious logic for voters to swallow.
