Yeah. To me, it was partly Chow's platform didn't resonate with the moderate voters (there were some good things in there, but there were also some really poorly thought out things) and partly that she just didn't seem to have a strong enough personality to lead council. While Tory may not be the most charismatic figure, he did at least portray the ability to lead.

Yeah, I mean I kept reading blurbs about poverty. Addressing poverty is important, but not something that I would run a campaign on, and for me personally I felt transit was very important, and while Chow's ideas on that did make sense I just didn't like enough of the other farther left ideas.
I don't mean to sound harsh but she reminded me somewhat of my vegan sister and brother-in-law. Good people but preachy and loud and, at times, quite grating.
