The Toronto mayor's race got most of the attention, but pay close attention to Mississauga, its largest suburb. In an upset win, they are getting the magic combo of - More housing and transit - More police spending - More family services - Fiscal responsibility This is what resonates with the primarily 1st and 2nd gen immigrants who live in the Toronto suburbs; public safety, affordable communities, better education and family-based services, fiscal probity. This viewpoint is almost completely absent in the pundit class that dominates mainstream media, and why Alvin's Mamdani-esque win came as a complete surprise to them.
