The centre of the country…the place where it all happens…the big apple…who will our new mayor be after the hated John Tory and his limited hangout situation?

Just kidding - barring a huge shakeup in the next few days, there’s no suspense.

Four Toronto mayoral candidates are battling to be frontrunner Olivia Chow’s runner-up, a new poll from Mainstreet Research has revealed.

As of Friday, if the election were held today, 31 per cent of decided voters would vote for Chow. Meanwhile, four runners-up are polling similarly and within the poll’s margin of error, with Bailao at 14 per cent, Mark Saunders at 13 per cent, Josh Matlow at 12 per cent and Anthony Furey at 11 per cent.

Mitzie Hunter, Chloe Brown and Brad Bradford have each held onto 6 per cent, 5 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively.

We love name recognition, don’t we folks?

Personally I am planning to skip the 102 named candidates and write in “fuck john tory”
