Story summary

Olivia Chow, the mayor of Toronto since a 2023 by-election, has been re-elected for another full term, leading to concerns about high taxes and reckless spending. Critics argue that this result reflects similar trends in national politics where the Liberal government was returned to power after the previous election.
