Wow 37% of the vote is pretty impressive for the amount of candidates in the running. What was she running on?

Edit: All I can find is affordable housing. Smart and timely platform.

Okay, so with the important question resolved, I'm wondering how many votes the dog got.

Congrats Toronto!

I have been confused by Calgary's mayor. She seemed the most progressive but ended up putting her one vote in (along with the rest of council) to cut a lot of social programs, virtue signals on the very far left, but gives into conservative crony lobbyists for things like buying an arena for someone else.

I wish election promises were legally binding.

It's always good to remember though, the mayor is more of a figure head. They can be a tie breaker in a vote but other than that they are simply higher profile than the other council members and have only one vote on council. Nothing can be changed without councils approval. The mayor's biggest power is to promote the city to attract more businesses, workers and tourists.
