Mayoral candidate Mark Saunders urged others who are running to get in line behind him in order to 'stop Olivia Chow,”
Mayoral candidate Mark Saunders on Thursday urged others who are running to get in line behind him in order to "stop Olivia Chow,” but the appeal is drawing little enthusiasm.
Saunders has worked throughout the campaign to try and frame the election as a choice between Chow and himself and he doubled down on that idea Thursday.“I've been consistently second in the polls, except for one. I'm not believing their numbers,” Chow told CP24. “But the bottom line is this; the only way that we can stop Olivia Chow from being in that seat is to vote for me.”
Earlier in the day Chow announced that as mayor she would offer greater support to renters to prevent renovictions. She said many of the problems facing the city have complex roots which could be addressed in part by doing a better job of taking care of people. In terms of public safety, Chow has said she would expand an existing pilot project in which teams of mental health professionals respond to some non-violent 911 calls for people in crisis. She has also promised an “Emergency Response Transformation Team” to improve lengthy 911 response times.Asked about Saunders’ appeal to support him, a number of other candidates said Thursday that they don’t plan on going anywhere.
Bailao also pointed out she has six sitting councilors supporting her bid, as well as a number of other politicians.
