Two downtown darlings of the political left may face each other in the freshly created riding of Spadina-Fort York in the October federal election. They are Adam Vaughan and Olivia Chow. Ms Chow, seemingly born to represent someone, is rested from her unsuccessful run for mayor. She says she is thinking about it. Mr Vaughan, a former City Councillor who knocked the NDP out of Trinity Spadina in a byelection last year, will have his popularity tested. A Liberal, he jumped to the Trudeau bandwagon when Chow resigned as MP to run for mayor. No doubt the NDP would find it a sweet victory. And according to a Mainstreet/Postmedia poll published in the Sun, Chow could win Spadina-Fort York. Some 36% of those polled on Saturday said they’d vote for Chow while 30% said they’d vote for Vaughan, the MP for Trinity-Spadina. Among decided voters, Chow is at 44% Vaughan at 36%
