Speaking of things "Gong", this may be completely out of line, but I was wondering if anybody's speculated on Falun Gong connections? Because I get a real “Epoch Times” vibe from all of this shadowy Gong omnipresence…
All this talk of gong has me thinking of Ted.

I feel increasingly ambivalent about this election. Nobody is really inspiring - if anything, I'd say most of the main candidates are fumbling, presenting stale, generic talking points and vague ideas, and the one who actually has some more substance (Matlow) who I'd like to vote for, has no shot at winning. Meh.

Where's Toronto's Nenshi?
 
Relative advance voter turnout by ward. Somewhat limited as population used is based off 20 or older in 2021 census

I'm still mad that Tory ran in 2022, so it is exciting enough to see a bunch of candidates who are not Tory and also to have hope of a more progressive Mayor to finish out the term. And assuming Chow is elected, Josh Matlow will still be on council and can ideally have some influence where he has substantive ideas.
 
Anecdotally, my friend lives one block away from Bradford, and says that there are five times the number of Chow signs in the area than Bradford signs.

I'm still seeing tonnes of Gong signs, mostly broken and on the ground.

I *am* starting to see actual Furey lawn signs--in areas rich (Humber Valley Village) & poor (Danforth/Vic Pk & into the Scarborough interior).

And I'm still perplexed by how Mitzie *still* has negligible lawn sign presence even within the parts of Scarborough I've been through.

I'm in the same boat as you as well. I'm not insipired by any of the candidates, and the one who I wanted to vote for is backed by that scum Kouvalis so I can by no means support her campaign or vote for her.

Her campaign isn't "backed" by Kouvalis. She hired someone with a track record of winning elections to... win an election. If she wasn't paying for his expertise he wouldn't be supporting her.

She knowingly hired an ignorant, morally suspect bigot to do so.


Winning at any cost isn't winning.
