Anthony Furey: Downtown Toronto is so bad that voters are abandoning the progressive left

You’d think a municipal ward with the name “Toronto Centre” would be the last electoral district to turn its back on a left-wing incumbent. Downtown Toronto is perceived to be as left-leaning as you can get and with good reason.

But every voter has their breaking point, and it looks like a lot of downtown residents have hit theirs. The council race now unfolding in this ward is in many ways a battle for the very heart of the city itself.
