Alexander Enters Race, Shakes Up Toronto Mayoral Battle | Toronto News

Toronto’s mayoral race is heating up as newcomer Chris Alexander, a former federal minister, surges into the race with 10% of decided voters—splitting the center-right vote and challenging Councillor Brad Bradford. Olivia Chow remains in the lead at 47%, while Alexander’s low name recognition (only 14% favorable, 61% unfamiliar) and middling approval ratings hint at potential volatility. Meanwhile, Torontonians are deeply divided on the city’s direction and safety, with half feeling things are going right and half wrong—and more than half saying they feel less safe than last year.
