Kirsten Krose Fundsraiser Sparks Debate | Toronto News

Kirsten Krose, London’s mayoral candidate, is making waves by hosting a pricey $536-per-ticket fundraiser in Toronto at the conservative-leaning Albany Club — a bold move that raises eyebrows since candidates usually focus fundraising efforts locally. While legal, the event sparks debate about her commitment to the city, especially as donors must be Ontario residents and contributions are capped. Krose defends the decision, crediting a friend for the venue and framing it as a way to tap into Toronto’s professional networks while staying ethically clear — notably refusing developer money, including from Toronto, to sidestep conflicts tied to her father’s construction business. She sees this outreach as proof of her integrity and independence, aiming to build broad support beyond London’s borders in a race where past campaigns raised around $200,000.
