      Well, Mayor Olivia Chow is not a Democrat in the Americian Political sense, even though she was a New Democratic Party MP at one point in time.

        Not nominally, but she copied “progressive” policies of the US Democrats run cities:

        • tax increases
        • allowing homeless to camp anywhere in the cities
        • housing first approach
        • normalizing hard drugs trade and use

        And I think the results will be the same as in San Francisco and anywhere else such policies were implemented

        Changes in Toronto are already pretty obvious
