I should begin by clarifying that I do not believe Olivia Chow is trying to lose this election, not deliberately. I think she has a plan for her campaign. It just isn’t working. Whatever it is, it is going badly wrong.
I should add that, by and large, I think Chow has been quite a good mayor for Toronto. I don’t have a problem, as an opinion writer, saying I’m going to vote for her. I think you should too.
Over the past two months, I’ve been sitting down with people I trust in this city — in business, politics, housing and other sectors — and asking them two broad questions: What do you think of Brad Bradford? And: How do you think Chow has done as mayor?
What do I think? She’s a toxic commie idiot.
I know that we can count on Olivia to stand up for people, and their human rights and their dignity and wellbeing. It’s so important that everyone gets out to vote on Monday October 26th Olivia. Or we could get stuck with a mayor we do not want and cannot afford. Brad Bradford will say anything to get elected. He flip flops. He cant be counted on. We can’t trust him. We know who @oliviachow Chow is. So please make sure you go and vote for Olivia. A Mayor we can trust.
