URGENT: Olivia Chow is ahead by less than three points. I'm putting the truck on Bathurst
Canada's worst mayor, Olivia Chow, could actually lose. I never thought I'd write that sentence. The newest poll, out today, has her ahead of Brad Bradford by less than three points: 40.8% to 38.3%. The margin of error is 3.1 points. In plain English, it's a tie.
So I've done something I've never done before. I personally registered with the City of Toronto as a third-party advertiser.
Not Rebel News. Me, Ezra Levant, as a private citizen. And I'm renting Rebel's big billboard truck to run ads against Olivia Chow, up and down Bathurst Street every day until the polls close on October 26.
Let me tell you why I'm doing this.
Olivia Chow never earned the mayor's chair. She got it almost as a consolation prize after Jack Layton died, riding on his coattails. And what has she done with it? It's what she hasn't done that stands out.
She hasn't stopped the crime wave. She hasn't stopped the tax hikes. She hasn't stopped parks and playgrounds from being turned into homeless camps and open-air drug scenes. All while she gallivants from parade to party to festival, in costume after costume, like a court jester while the city falls apart.
Here's the moment that told me everything. At a community meeting about the home-invasion robberies sweeping Toronto, a Toronto police constable told residents, and I'm quoting him exactly: "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door."
Leave your car keys by the door so the robbers don't have to ransack your house to find them. That is the official advice in Olivia Chow's Toronto. The clip is in my video. Watch it and tell me I'm exaggerating.
And then there's the Jewish community.
Toronto used to be famous as a hospitable city where the Jewish community was at the heart of business and culture.
Now it's known as the antisemitic capital of North America. Olivia Chow even skipped the mayoral debate on antisemitism last month. She stays away from the non-partisan Walk with Israel, where 50,000 Torontonians march. And she has nothing to say about the pro-Hamas street gangs who block Toronto's roads with their "prayer" protests, something that wouldn't be tolerated in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates. Those gangs are on her side, and she's on theirs.
You don't have to be Jewish to want her gone. You don't have to be a ferocious right-winger, either. You just have to look around.
Now, here's the math. The Jewish community in Toronto has historically voted Liberal, or centre-left. It's not a natural Rebel News audience. But these are the voters most likely to switch, because they're the ones Olivia Chow has most openly abandoned.
If I can remind a few thousand of them what's been done to their own city, and move them to anyone but Chow, that could close a three-point gap.
I know this works, because we've done it before. In the 2025 federal election, we ran the same truck through York Centre, where the Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks had been photographed with Mahmoud Abbas, the boss of the Palestinian Authority. We started at Bathurst and Sheppard. She lost her seat.
So here's the plan — but there's a catch.
The law caps a third-party advertiser at $25,000. That's all I'm allowed to raise and spend, and every dollar of it goes to keeping that truck rolling for the final two weeks. The city's rules, not mine: you have to live in Ontario to chip in, and the most any one person can give is $1,200. If you're outside Ontario, I'm sorry, you can't give to this one, but you can forward this email to a friend in Toronto, and that's worth almost as much.
One more thing. Olivia Chow's police have pulled the truck over a few times in the past three months. I expect they'll try again. I'll be ready for it, and I'll let you know the moment it happens.
Normally I'd say there's no hope. Toronto is a left-of-centre city and the incumbent usually wins. But I've been in this business a long time and I've never seen her this vulnerable. A few thousand votes on Bathurst Street could be the difference.

I don’t mean offense when I say this.
Our founding fathers were not Jewish. They were not Muslim. They were not Hindu.
Our founding fathers were Christian men. They built this country on the back of the Bible, and we should keep it that way.

You know who NEVER did ANY of this?
The Trucker's Convoy in Canada.
Canada invoked a national emergency for that non-violent protest, and tactical teams arrested protesters at gun point.
NEVER let Canada lecture your country about protests again.
In 2024, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon absolutely OBLITERATED the Liberals mass immigration strategy.
His message was devastating:
“It’s based on the very stupid assumption that growing the GDP makes you richer.”
This is why he is now running Quebec.

She tells him he can’t record her woke ritual without consent.
But she doesn’t have his consent to make education “biased.”

🚨 NOW: VP JD Vance announces federal investigations into 9 UNIVERSITIES for visa fraud and undercutting American citizens
Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State, and MIT
"These universities are employing J1 visas for federally funded grants at a rate of about 61%. The national average is 38%. So something weird is going on at these universities!" 💯
FAFO!!
"They're using these visas way too much. They're using them to undercut the wages of American grad students and American researchers. And it simply has to stop."
OUR tax dollars fund these grants. They should be going to American students, not cheap foreign labor and INDENTURED SERVANTS
Same day Microsoft lost PERM. The fraud task force is on a roll!
Put Americans first or they should GET DEFUNDED. FULLY. 🇺🇸
This is exactly what we needed!

Multiple provinces are now making plans to leave Canada and Elon Musk just backed their Independence
Elon says Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan should separate. Their leaders have failed the people and they deserve to rule themselves. They are heavily taxed and their nation is suffering the consequences of mass immigration.
Alberta will have a vote this month to move forward with seceding and the separatist party in Quebec just won a major election giving them more power. Will the others follow their lead?
This is awesome. He's consulting experts to find an eloquent way to by-pass the Lieutenant Governor. He doesn't even want her there at the swearing-in ceremony. He wants to go as far as abolishing the role, saying it's just a waste of money.
Toronto had a mayoral debate Tuesday night.
Olivia Chow stood on a stool to look taller than Brad Bradford.
Then she read every answer off the page her staff prepared.
Toronto votes on October 26.
A mayor who can't answer a question without a script won't handle the city's problems either.
