Congratulations to @oliviachow, who will remain mayor of Toronto. Her victory contributes to the uprising against right-wing populism we are seeing across the world this week. It recommits this great city to creating the conditions necessary for real human flourishing, together.
Tonight, the people of Toronto have spoken. And you have given me the extraordinary honour of continuing to serve as your mayor. I am grateful. I am humbled. And I am so proud of our city.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who boasted of supplying Israel with vast quantities of ammunition as its bombs tore Gaza’s children apart, has fallen from power. Another shameless accomplice in Israel’s genocide belongs in history’s dustbin.

Mayor Chow is change. She inherited a mess from Mayor Tory and in 3 years is turning things around and has had many successes. Councillor Bradford peddles and promotes fear. He weaponizes people’s insecurity. He’s rabid raw ambition and his record diverges from what he says now.
Crime. Congestion. Cost of living. These are the issues residents feel every day.  I’m running for Mayor because I believe we can do better on all three. On October 26, vote for change. Vote to help Toronto meet its full potential.

Replying to @BradMBradford
Be careful who you align yourself with #Toronto The Convicted Criminal Conrad Black has endorsed Brad. Conrad was pardoned by The Convicted Felon south of Lake Ontario in 2019. Brad is keeping some very "lovely" company #topoli Choose Wisely

Serbia 🇷🇸: The capital of Belgrade tonight. People as far as the eye can see. The Student List is ready to end 12 years of rule by Aleksandar Vucic and the SNS.

A vote for Bradford is a vote for Doug Ford. Vote wisely! #TOpoli
A scary thought: a Bradford Mayoralty using Ontario’s Strong Mayor powers to pass things on 33% of council support + whatever the Ford government wants.

There are valid critiques of Olivia chow - I’ve made them myself ! But Brad Bradford would be a complete disaster for this city, conservatives would run every single part of the lives of Toronto residents

Whistleblowers at Queen's Park are saying that if Brad Bradford wins, he 100% wants to help @fordnation open and build the casino on the waterfront. The plans are still very much alive. Behind the scenes. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Albania's union of academic staff announces it has decided to boycott classes and join student protests every day.
University professors in Tirana, Albania have walked out of class to march in solidarity with the student protesters.

"We are afraid to speak because they will beat us again". Heartbreaking situation from Tirana where this group of teenagers is kept under terror by the police, who has beaten them without mercy. 💔 #Albania
Dramatic! Brutal violence against youth by police inside the courtyard of the Orthodox Church in Tirana. The €2,500 bonus promised by PM Rama seems to have blinded the eyes of the Albanian police officers even more. The situation in Albania is alarming. Rama refuses to resign.

Dear Toronto. I truly hope you are not seriously considering having in power both Premier Ford and Councillor Bradford. Who will stand up to Premier Ford and his right-wing populist agenda.
Ford must stop interfering with our city Make no mistake: Toronto will stand up for itself.

I saw the film NAZA last night. I’m not going to say go see it. because it is a tragically devastating movie. If you’re an empathic person who despises the mass murder of children (like me) you will feel even worse. The people who need to see it, won’t because they don’t care.
