Canadians will be like "omfg Blue Wave in the US, democracy is saved" and then not care about the fact that Regions like Niagara, Waterloo, Peel, etc can't democratically elect their leader anymore and instead are appointed by the Province aka Doug Ford.

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

Tonight, the people of Toronto have spoken.

And you have given me the extraordinary honour of continuing to serve as your mayor.

I am grateful. I am humbled.

And I am so proud of our city.

Don’t know if this has been said yet, but Olivia Chow is the first mayor to ever receive over 500,000 votes

[Edward Row 𓃡 @edwardrow]

Olivia Chow is now the most successful singularly elected politician in Canadian history - Bradford LOST by 13 points - more than 130,000+ votes - but gets the lead on the headline like he almost did it? https://t.co/WHvrqPbILO

I'll be voting for Olivia Chow in Toronto's mayoral election tomorrow. I'm not a leftist or progressive, but i appreciate the work she's done to make the city better.

Crime is at its lowest in years, my kids love all the new parks that have been built, she pulled off a flawless World Cup...

Importantly, she does not hesitate to empathize with suffering, desperate people, whether here or abroad. I suspect much of the vitriol against her is because she calls a spade a spade, and I applaud her for it.

Too often this city alternates between clueless leftists and ruthless right wing opportunists. Olivia Chow is something different, more like the quiet, hardworking, competent families that make up the backbone of this city.

@DavidColetto The Star:

"Chow has been fiscally responsible and made progress on complex issues. However, she doesn't do fantasy plans and foreign policy."

"Bradford has good comms and big ideas. However, his ideas have nothing behind them, he's a flip-flopper, and his colleagues hate him."

[Tyler Meredith @tylermeredith]

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.

Mayoral candidate Bradford pulling up to the gay basement night club with a dark room to court the gays after voting against the widely popular church street pedestrianization

[C @_ChanFace]

@Ramsey_Kilani Not only did he vote against it but he successfully amended it to add a clause that the city could cancel it at any time. See thread for full explanation.

Picking on Mayor Chow dancing cultural festivals is stupid. For the people who have worked so hard to execute these events, having the Mayor attend & even participate (have fun doing it!!??) validates their event & elicits pride. If you don't know this, you're just not trying.

[Jojo Uranowski @Uranowski]

Olivia Chow got the Scarborough Busway built AND it opened early. Bradford, who had the opportunity while on the TTC to fund transit in Scarborough and didn't, is critical of that project. Brad Bradford is out of touch.

[Jojo Uranowski @Uranowski]

Under Mayor Olivia Chow the fact is, Toronto is safer.

Crime is down. Youth programs that help prevent crime are being funded. Homelessness is down 8%.

Don't believe Brad Bradford's scare tactics.

[Gabe Blanc @Gabe_Blanc]

If the first Toronto mayor to seriously fix the city's finances is also the first incumbent to lose reelection, this city will be doomed to austerity and crumbling infrastructure for decades.

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

This morning, environmental titan David Suzuki joined me in speaking about the risks to our safety and pocketbooks that come with Bradford’s proposal to privatize our water.

I’m grateful to have David’s support. His decades of leadership on the environment remind us that protecting our water means protecting our communities and our environment for future generations.

Our water should never be for sale.

[Olivia Chow @oliviachow]

60% of Torontonians are concerned about Brad Bradford’s plan to open our drinking water up for privatization.

Our water should never be for sale. You'll pay the price. Higher bills. Less safety.

As your Mayor, I will protect our drinking water.

[Team Chow News & Alerts @TeamOliviaChow]

When it comes to Scarborough transit, Olivia Chow is delivering results:

✅ Built the Scarborough Busway
✅ Designing the Scarborough East RT while she lands federal and provincial funding
✅ A plan for more local hiring than any other transit line in our history

[Courtney Heels @CourtHeelsCP24]

To clarify, new 54 Division was included in 2025 capital budget. Not really a new campaign announcement, but drawing attention to plans for police station returning to the community

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

A telling, powerful data point about Toronto’s appeal.

Businesses are willing to pay a premium to be here.

Runs counter to the 'everything is falling apart' narrative that has dominated this campaign.
