The field for Toronto’s mayoral election is now set, and one thing is clear: only a handful of candidates are in it to win it. The vast majority are merely in it.
, Mark Saunders, Brad Bradford, Olivia Chow, Josh Matlow, Mitzie Hunter and Ana Bailão could all have a shot on voting day.Trailing behind are a half-dozen or so familiar names who are running serious campaigns, but who have not yetThe former councillor for York West placed third in Wasaga Beach’s mayoral election last fall, and is seeking the Toronto job on a platform that includes opposition to safe injection sites and bike lanes.
Straus, who lives in North York, is running a satirical campaign inspired by his name, which is pronounced like the job he’s supposedly seeking. “I signed up to run for mayor because I’ve been Meir all my life,” he said. Mayoral candidate Kiri Vadivelu is carrying the banner of the far left into the election, as a member of the Municipal Socialist Alliance , a group that seeks to elevate socialists to city hall. His platform calls for “immediate mass social housing construction,” free public transit and “steep taxation of big business and the rich.”
The 32-year-old first-time mayoral candidate, who said he’s spent more than eight years in Toronto without a fixed address, admits victory is not likely. Still, his campaign has a clear purpose.
