Olivia Chow Makes History as Toronto's First Woman of Color Mayor
TL;DR Summary
Olivia Chow, a left-wing progressive, has won the mayoral election in Toronto, beating out a crowded field of 102 candidates. Chow, a veteran of Canadian progressive politics, campaigned on promises to build a more caring, affordable, and safe city, with a focus on addressing Toronto's housing affordability crisis. Her victory marks the first time in a decade that a progressive will lead the city and suggests potential future clashes with conservative Premier Doug Ford. Chow will assume new "strong mayor" powers granted last year by Ford's provincial government but has said she will not use them.
