Thanks Gad. I'm sorry this is the best you can offer to an important municipal event. All the best to you in Mississippi. @GadSaad
Please vote for @oliviachow. She is our best hope for eradicating Jewish life in Toronto. - Dr. Raghu, the imbecile

Substantively this seems like a hit piece against someone who had a teen pregnancy and had to give up the child, like yeah she claimed to be two years younger than she is, but doing that to make it harder for people to try and track down and harass the kid makes perfect sense.

That the Toronto Star did its utmost to protect Doug Ford's reputation and get him elected twice as Premier, but does this to a woman running for city council on a left wing platform tells you what a shit stain to journalism that paper is.

I didn’t realize until now that this isn’t even the first woman married to an incestuous pedophile to appear in a Ramaswamy tv ad!

Maple MAGA zealots are lining up behind BradFord.
That should tell you everything. #topoli
UPDATE: The list of public figures endorsing Brad Bradford now includes disgraced media mogul and (formerly) convicted fraudster Conrad Black and a former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada!

Brian, Chow took office in July 2023. Your own data shows crime surged under Tory, peaked in '23, then declined in '24 and '25
So why is Chow responsible for the increase she inherited, but gets no credit for the decline?
Is this journalism, or just a grudge with a spreadsheet?
WGAS?
Wow, when the "progressive" paper, the Toronto Star, can't endorse the "progressive" candidate, Olivia Chow...
It's really telling.

A witty insightful essay about a tragic affair & why it’s dumb to rush to judgement on assault @MargaretAtwood @MarkBourrie @JohnVaillant
People who claim Toronto isn’t as good as it used to be obviously didn’t live there in the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s. I did, off and on, and it is now a much better, far more alive place. Yes, it could be more affordable. That’s hardly a problem limited to Toronto.

Toronto has water. Clean. Cheap
But Brad Bradford wants to give it away
To pay for a tax cut giving the most to those owning the most expensive houses

I am not a huge Chow fan but can we be real for a second… she’s been Mayor for barely 3 years, not even a full term. There are full 1 term Mayors in Canada with far less impressive records. If you’re mad about Toronto today it’s probably John Tory’s fault.
No endorsement from the Toronto Star is which telling about how it feels about Mayor Chow and her record.
There’s always an element of the unknown with change. But the incumbent is well known, 40 years in public office, and the Star is saying it’s time for a change
