Show Notes
A post election wrap up of the Toronto Mayoral election that saw the progressive front runner, Olivia Chow win by a slim margin. Hosts Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou Quintero discuss the tone of the election, examine some of the larger campaigns and breakdown what the results mean for politics in Toronto.
We talk about Olivia Chow's "platform", Chloe Brown's impact, the right wing candidates egos and what their results mean.
Voter turnout, Provincial politics, the organizing behind the campaigns and the prospect of a progressive Mayor are also big parts of this discussion.
