Chow is a former city councillor and NDP MP and someone who has been involved in civic life for decades. She's been leading early polling since entering the race by a wide margin. But she's been here before. Chow led early in 2014, when she was facing John Tory and Doug Ford, and couldn't hold on to win. Her team has even tackled that loss in a rec...
The former Toronto police chief has launched a public-safety focused campaign and is touting his decades of experience as a public servant. That said, his political positions — reviewing bike lanes, urging the city to drop its drug decriminalization efforts — run counter to the direction city hall has been moving in and will likely provoke sharp cr...
The current councillor for Toronto-St. Paul's (the Yonge-Eglinton area) has put forward a wide range of policy proposals already. The challenge for Matlow — and one his rivals will be keen to point out — is how he'll get his agenda passed if he's elected. On the council floor last week, for example, Matlow lost a vote seeking updated costs on the G...
The longtime Davenport councillor dominated the last ward election she ran in (2018), winning 82 per cent of the vote. She rose to become John Tory's deputy mayor and his point person on housing before resigning to work for the development company, Dream Unlimited Corp, as its head of affordable housing and public affairs. Now jumping back into cit...
The Beaches-East York councillor and former planner is also an ally of Tory, and like Bailão, became the former mayor's go-to housing person. But Bradford is running a more right-leaning campaign than some may have expected. His campaign — backed by prominent Ontario conservatives — has focused on things like battling traffic and attacking the "NDP...
Hunter resigned from her position as an Ontario Liberal MPP to enter the race. The Scarborough-Guildwood politician has been making several policy announcements a week, including a signature transit plan. Her housing platform draws on her past experience as the chief administrative officer of Toronto Community Housing. Hunter's challenge will be ge...
There are some other candidates who are trying to break into this grouping and who just might in the weeks to come. Anthony Perruzza, another sitting councillor, is in the race and has plenty to say, although he's put out little in the way of costed policy proposals. Chloe Brown, who finished third in the last mayoral election and delivered some of...
Pollsters have been in the field gauging public opinion on the race since John Tory resigned. Three of the latest polls give a snapshot of where the race stands. But as always, they are just a point in time and there are six weeks left in this campaign. In other words, things are likely to change. It's also important to note a lot of voters are sti...
Jun 15, 2023 · The top seven Toronto mayoral candidates were out and about with just 11 days to go to the byelection.
- Olivia Chow. Chow has maintained a steady, commanding lead in the polls for most of the campaign, and her front-runner status has made her a target for most other leading candidates in the race.
- Ana Bailao. Bailao rose to prominence as the affordable housing committee chair after being elected to Toronto city council in 2010. Considered a low-profile appointment at the time, the issue of housing grew larger in the city and brought Bailao into the political spotlight.
- Mark Saunders. Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens. A cop for nearly 38 years and Toronto police chief from 2015 to 2021, Saunders positioned himself early in the campaign as a tough-on-crime candidate who could save the city from “out-of-control” lawlessness.
- Josh Matlow. A councillor for the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s since 2010, Matlow has over the past 13 years undergone a transformation from centrist to one of city council’s leading progressive voices and critic of former mayor Tory.
