Mayor Tory
Jaye Robinson
Josh Matlow

John Tory has been re-elected Mayor of Toronto. He defeated Jennifer Keesmaat by more than 300,000 votes with almost all polls reporting. In South Bayview, a bitter disappointment for Leaside residents as Jon Burnside was defeated by Jaye Robinson. Their respective vote count shortly before 9 p.m. showed Burnside with 12,142 (42 percent) and Robinson with 15,120 (52 percent). In St. Paul’s, Josh Matlow defeated Joe Mihevc with 19,000 votes (52 percent) to about 15,000 (42 percent). Kristyn Wong Tam won Ward 13 very handily and Mike Layton now has Moore Park and Rosedale residents among his constituents in Ward 11, having defeated all rivals easily. The closest was Joyce Rowlands with barely a fifth of Layton’s total.  In Ward 14 (Toronto Danforth) Paula Fletcher defeated Mary Fragedakis by a margin or more than 6,000 votes. CBC
