    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
