2010 Municipal Election

October 15, 2009 - 8:45am — vic

It's still a long time away, but the 2010 municipal election is coming up. Let's use this forum to discuss any issues, especially local ones, that might come up in the election.

With incumbent mayor David Miller stepping aside, the mayoral race should be interesting. Our current councillor, Adam Giambrone, ~~is running for mayor~~ was running for mayor, but has since quit the race (will he run for his council seat again?). This leaves the local Ward 18 Davenport seat up for grabs.

The current list of candidates for Ward 18 (As of Feb 9 2010) consists of:

Bailão, Ana
Le, Nha
Vyas, Hema
Wood, Ken

The complete list is maintained on the City's website:

blogTO Interview with Giambrone

BlogTO has a short but interesting interview with Councillor Giambrone today http://www.blogto.com/people/2009/10/toronto_through_the_eyes_of_adam_gi.... He makes it clear that he is considering a run for Mayor. It would be a shame to loose him as a councillor in what will almost certainly be a tough race for Mayor.

Giambrone to announce he's running for mayor?

In today's 24 Hours, Thien Nuynh has an article / interview with Adam Giambrone. Here's a quote from the end of the article:

I try to catch him off guard: "Will you run for mayor?"

"I've made my decision and I'm putting together my campaign team. I expect to make a formal announcement in the next few weeks."

You can read the 24 Hours paper online in a very annoying full-page view format. This article is on page 4.

Giambrone to announce on Feb 1st.

According to Torontoist, Adam Giambrone will announce he's running for mayor on February 1st. The invitation doesn't specifically say he's running for mayor, but that's where all the recent speculation seems to point to.
