Not since David Miller left office in 2010 has a progressive candidate stood a better chance of winning the mayor’s seat, political science professor says
The battle lines in Toronto’s upcoming mayoral race may feel familiar to some: A conservative has left office and a wide open race to replace him has taken shape. Candidates lament a city in disrepair and spar over the future of the waterfront.
Tory secured a third term, winning a landslide victory in the October 2022 election, before resigning in February after admitting to an affair with a staffer. Even though voters overwhelmingly backed the conservative Tory less than a year ago, Miller and Taylor argued that Toronto may be ready to turn the ideological page.
And then there’s the waterfront. While Miller’s campaign made headlines for his opposition to island airport expansion, several centre-left candidates have turned Ford’s plans for a privately-owned spa at Ontario Place into a larger battle over a publicly accessible waterfront. “We’re coming out of a pandemic, which is going to define a generation. With that, it brings a whole host of problems, including a mental health crisis,” said Bravo.
