You love to see it

That feel when a competent, experienced, left-of-centre woman of colour runs for mayor in your city and has a commanding lead over her 101 rivals, and the media, establishment politicians, and elites absolutely panic and lose their shit and run a racist, hate-filled campaign to elect anyone but her...
...and she still wins anyway.
Congrats to Olivia Chow, the first decent person Toronto will have had as mayor in 13 years. She has a tough road ahead of her and Toronto's likely to see its own little J6, but we can drink the tears of the reactionaries in the meantime.
I also really hope someone thought to be near Ford with a camera. Please. I want to see what his face looked like when he found out. I deserve to.
Also huge mega-thanks to the staffer who got fucked by John Tory. Your sacrifice was not in vain. This city is an absolute disaster and we need someone who at least understands that it needs to be fixed.
