Mississauga Mayor Race Heats Up | Toronto News

Mississauga’s mayoral race is heating up as a new poll shows former mayor Bonnie Crombie and current mayor Carolyn Parrish locked in a dead heat, each with 35% support among decided voters — though if the election were held today, both would trail at 26%. Other contenders trail far behind: Dipika Damerla at 13% and Alvin Tedjo at 9%. Transit, taxes, and housing top voter frustrations. Social media clashes have intensified between the two frontrunners, especially after Parrish skipped a vote on a data center moratorium — and her approval rating sits at just 38%, while 42% disapprove. A surprising twist? Premier Doug Ford’s endorsement of Parrish back in March actually turns off voters — 39% say it’d make them less likely to support her, while only 15% say it’d help. Meanwhile, Ford’s own party is under fire for allegedly spending nearly $3,000 on luxury resorts in Jamaica for opposition research on Crombie — a move Ford denies knowing about and says he opposes.
