2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

[christiesplits]

Only one incumbent lost in 2014, while five lost in 2010. I think these five losses are possible:

Di Ciano
Grimes
Bailao (It will probably be Palacio vs. Bailao with the wards redrawn)
Carmichael Greb (won by a squeaker in 2014, very unimpressive first term)
Mammo


Dyanoosh Youssefi, who placed third against Greb in 2014, is running again according to her Twitter bio https://twitter.com/DyanooshY

Mammo will get re-elected until he dies.

Mammo will get re-elected until he dies.

...and after.

I think they all get re-elected....

Added a poll to the top of the thread - just for fun. If there's interest we can add a new one every week or so.

Great. Next do one predicting whether Toronto will ever see the last of Perks, Mihevc and Matlow.

Those are some of the best councillors we have. Moderates, logical and follow reason. They are the voice of sanity.

She will not be the only one running against Carmichael-Greb.

 

[Videodrome]

I just hope we don't get another councillor elected with 19% of the vote this time...

 

[torontologist]

She will not be the only one running against Carmichael-Greb.

Is that a sure thing? I hadn't heard any "reliable" rumours.

 

[ADRM]

I know of at least one who should have a good shot, and have heard from others that there's at least a second (which is actually bad re: vote splitting, again).

I've heard of one really great candidate for the new Ward 14 (which has nearly the same boundaries as the existing Ward 16) who has the support of some prominent residents and a 2014 candidate who's not running again, but yes, vote splitting will not be beneficial there.

 

[torontologist]

This is getting my hopes up about a certain former civil servant running for municipal office...

 

[Juan_Lennon416]

Apart from his general social justice crusade, is Neethan Shan doing anything specific for Ward 42 (beyond supporting the SSE)?

No idea. I'm sure he shows up for work.

What's he supposed to be doing for Ward 42?

Perks...moderate? I'm left wing, and even I think he's quite extreme. Sarah Doucette on the other hand is moderate, and a voice of sanity.
