Possibly the best shot at tossing Di Ciano will be if Peter Milczyn loses Etobicoke-Lakeshore in June provincially, and then runs try to reclaim his seat in the municipal election in October.

Milczyn has one of the best shots of a L hold in the ENYS ridings.
 
Hey all ...longtime lurker on urban toronto. I just found this thread today and its very interesting. I am the campaign manager for Keegan Henry - Mathieu who will be running in ward 7 against mammoliti. If you would like to volunteer with our campaign in anyway you can we would love to have you. We all understand the difficulty of beating an incumbent so any help would be welcome. Please contact us at operations.keeganhm@gmail.com and we will get you onboarded. Here are some links to articles on Keegan from 2014 for your reference https://torontoist.com/2014/10/city-council-endorsement-keegan-henry-mathieu-for-ward-7-york-west/ , https://www.thestar.com/life/2014/0..._york_west_candidate_keegan_henrymathieu.html

Asuma Malik will be running in Ward 20 – that’s a given. So will Kevin Vuong.

The NDP machine will be backing Malik hard, while I suspect Vuong will be backed by Liberals. Vuong - whose social media posts are very self-promoting
- has been trying to get a lot of attention lately such as on King Street.

If this is an NDP vs. Liberals election - then why not just formally introduce party politics municipally.

We all know it happens, except for some members of the public who don't really pay attention.
 
Why Toronto council races could be more important than mayoral election
https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/04/30/toronto-council-races-could-be-more-important-than-mayoral-election.html


As expected, TDSB trustee Chris Moise is throwing his hat in the council race. He will be running in the new Ward 25 ward, currently mostly held by KWT in the current ward configuration. As Moise and KWT are allies, I anticipate this means KWT will run in the new Ward 23. Smitherman will probably run in Ward 21 or Ward 22.

I heard Smotherman is running in Ward 23, certainly not 21.

They're updating the list pretty frequently. Of course, many candidates and incumbents wait over a month before they declare, so any list of candidates by the end of the day will not be the complete slate.

Great to see Lekan Olawoye, who ran against Frank Di Georgio in 2014, running again.

As expected, Bailao is running in Ward 16. Should be a cakewalk for Perks in Ward 18.
