posts like this feel like subtle racism or judging a book by it’s cover. why does it matter that they’re not white/male? it isnt like their policies are going to be any different than the majority leadership of decades past
Now build the goddamn bike lanes/paths. Toronto has sucked for so long in terms of urbanism and now with new, non-carbrained leadership maybe good things will start to happen.
Calgary already has a woman of color mayor. Toronto isn’t that important.
It is for everyone that isn’t in Alberta. Like it or not, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal all sever as leaders for their provinces and the country as a whole. It’s not fair but its heavily dependant on city size.
Hopefully they elected her because shes best fit for the job. Not because shes black. Learn from Chicago
She’s asian and was the only candidate with major name recognition in the race, so she was on cruise for the win since she threw her hat in the ring. She was a federally elected representative for a riding in Toronto for the better part of a decade, and was a city councillor for even longer, so she has significant experience. Time will tell if that matters. She is probably not going to be outed as a crackhead at the very least, and as a widow is also unlikely to get caught up in any extra-marital affairs, so baby steps forward for Toronto mayors.
hopefully it works out So tired of these horrible politicians
Asian people are consisted “people of color” now?
Always have been.
