Olivia Chow – Chinese communist – wins Mayoral Election in Toronto last night

via CBC:

In the end, Chow, 66, defeated 101 rivals to win. Former councillor Ana Bailão surged to second place, eventually losing by 30,000 votes — a total that doesn’t reflect the drama as the polling results gave Bailão an early lead that looked briefly like it could hold.

But those who were hoping for a Chow win were rewarded, which was fitting for a candidate who made “hope” a central plank of her campaign.

Former city councillor Joe Mihevc said that message is true to who Chow is. The theme of hope represented a marked departure from 2014 when Chow ran for mayor and finished a distant third to John Tory.
