Congrats Toronto, proud of this city right now. Olivia's double digit lead over Bradford is truly amazing, especially since the polls were too close for comfort. I'm extra proud of the strong grassroots efforts that made this happen

Hilariously, Bradford's own ward went 2:1 for Olivia, making him the biggest loser of the night 😂

So glad for Olivia's win!

CBC still trying to give bad badford a little bit of credit when it was very clear that he was supported by elitists, Zionist orgs, and private interests.

While Bradford's camp had offered a slew of new ideas

Their only critique was on privatization of water, but there was much to criticize him on.

    Fwiw, Olivia's victory speech kinda does the same thing a bit. I don't particularly care for it, but at least her heart is in the right place

    Olivia has always been cheesy and I kind of like that about her. She's embracing the haters instead of pushing her way through them, and that's the reason she's managed to get progressive policies passed in the first place. And hopefully more stuff with the newly elected council!

    Did he think he was running for premier?

    That was probably his next step. He's the perfect ladder climbing politician - one who has never done anything positive for his constituents (and more than once left them in the dirt) and who only looks at what profits them. Still can't believe 40%+ voted for the grifter.
