Back in Ottawa, River Ward councillor Maria McRae is retiring. I've heard rumours she wants to enter provincial or federal politics for the Liberals. She lives in Ottawa South, but her ward contains parts of Ottawa Centre and Ottawa West-Nepean, which will be looking for Liberal candidates.

It's a big surprise with only a week left in the nomination period. No serious candidates have entered yet.

Jon Stewart endorses Chow: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/09/08/jon-stewart-pulling-for-olivia-chow-in-mayors-race Smiley

Is this a game changer? He should mention her on his show.

20 candidates? holy smokes. And yet, next door Ward 22 has one candidate.

A couple of wards in Ottawa have just one candidate as well. Been awhile since we saw an acclamation.

It seems like the only race dippers in Ottawa care about is Somerset Ward (downtown). I guess it's important to have one progressive on council.

I guess Toronto Liberals have found their candidate, and it's not Olivia Chow. Sad

Amazing that John Tory could actually win an election.

Well, it's safe to say 75% of Torontonians generally support conservative parties in other elections Wink

No surprise. We all know the Star is a Liberal paper, and Tory is the "Liberal" candidate.

You're right that they're not a "partisan" paper. Just like this isn't a "partisan" election.

And the Toronto Star is only on the left when compared to every other paper in the country.

Is there a more left-wing candidate in the race that we know of? The main opponents (eg those who at least have a website) seem to be various shades of conservatives and generally nutty.

Not with a website, but if you like "the rent is too damn high" types, then there's Michael St. Arnaud. He hasn't been that active in the campaign, but he did fill out an ACORN questionnaire and was the only mayoral candidate to agree with everything they asked.

But yeah, this is the worst field of mayoral candidates since 1997.

As I predicted, the two councillors I thought were in trouble (Clark and Hobbs) are losing Smiley

CBC showed a map of who was winning each ward. Quite bizarre. Chow is winning in 4 wards (Trinity-Spadina, south Davenport and Parkdale.

Ford winning in Etobicoke and the Western North York area and Scarborough. Tory ahead everywhere else.

Turnout in Toronto at 64%. That's higher than federal elections.
