Toronto: Advance polls for the municipal election are now open until Sunday, October 11. During elections it’s common for community organizations to survey candidates. I think it’s important to highlight how the mayoral candidates responded (before Chris Alexander dropped out). Here are three:

TTCriders (@ttcriders.bsky.social) also sent out a survey to what was then the three main candidates for mayor. Here are the results:

We've released the results of our candidate transit policy survey! We asked all mayoral & city council candidates about their commitments to improving transit. Of the three leading mayoral candidates, only Olivia Chow completed our survey; Chris Alexander made a platform commitment to hike fares.

Concerningly, for all three of these community organizations dedicated to getting Torontonians moving more efficiently, affordably, and sustainably, only one of the (then three) key mayoral candidates submitted a response to their questions. I really hope that changes.
