The ominous third-place finish of a white supremacist in Toronto

The 2018 Toronto municipal election played out as most people expected it to, with John Tory cruising to a second term as mayor, writes Brian Budd. Tory easily defeated runner-up candidate Jennifer Keesmaat, Toronto’s former chief city planner, by more than 300,000 votes.

However, despite Tory’s landslide victory, the Toronto mayoral election was not without controversy or public intrigue. Faith Goldy’s campaign for mayor sparked intense public outrage and debate throughout the election campaign.
