@chorkins True, it was not close. But Toronto mayoral incumbents typically win by much greater margins (around 40 points for Tory, 25 for Miller). I'm not dismissing Chow's win, but making the point that Bradford's loss is hardly an embarasing one

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

I like Richard but I think this is off. Bradford went from ~1% of the vote in 2023 to ~40% now. He gave the Chow campaign (which is a formidable machine) a real challenge, as evidenced by its hard turn negative in the 11th hour. I don't think there will be much, if any, regret

[Richard Warnica @richardwarnica]

I think there are a lot of people on Toronto’s very powerful political centre/right who are going to wake up tomorrow wondering why they went all in on that guy of all the guys.

Will be a nail-biter for third between random guy and advantageously named Braeden Chow, and not-actually-running Chris Alexander

Somewhere, David Peterson is heaving a sigh of relief to no longer be the cautionary tale

McGill’s law school receives roughly 1,500 applications for just 180 spots.

It gave one of those spots to a convicted murderer in his mid-60s, who will never pass the good character requirements to practice, and who violated his parole multiple times.

Yes, I've also heard that Brad Bradford will sell off sunlight to corporate investors. We cannot let that happen

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith fed a stray cat, in hopes that it would go away. But stray cats don’t do that. Now she's in a world of trouble https://t.co/uqTsNMEyJe

He also raised nearly $35,000 to help defend against this “politically-motivated” police investigation!

STORY, updates to come: Edmonton former journalist Duncan Kinney has admitted to spray painting a bust of Ukrainian World War II leader Roman Shukhevych with the words "actual Nazi," then writing about it, claiming he didn't know who did it. https://t.co/Hiiaes3kx8

Classless. It goes without saying that few would tolerate pundits and lobbyists laughing about how “ugly” a female politician is.

@tylerblack32 There is no decision that remotely compares to ending a life. No point in trying to draw parallels

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

Literally everything about euthanizing someone who resists at present, but consented in the past is hard. We shouldn’t pretend anything about this is straightforward. These are agonizing decisions, and we should acknowledge them as such

If my advance directive says "please give me MAiD when my dementia gets to the level that I'm a burden on my loved ones", them the answer is you give me MAiD, not respond to my delirious protests.

If you don't know how to "interrogate delirium or confusion", you shouldn't be a doctor.

There is NOTHING HARD about this scenario, except if you don't understand how brains work.
