Canada's largest city is glowing a nice shade of Tory blue after electing a conservative Mayor tonight be a margin of 11%. Local liberals have to be worried that their strangle hold on Toronto is slipping away as 47% of voters voted the right way. The headline at the Globe and Mail is "Ford’s dominant victory ushers in a new era for Toronto", at the Post "Ford leads suburban barbarians to Toronto’s gate" (which is undoubtedly a spoof on the Star's "barbarian at the gates" headline about Stephen Harper a week before the 2004 election), and at our tax funded CBC the headline reads "Ontarians choose mayors in municipal votes". There is no mention of Ford's name or victory in their headlines (at least as I am writing this in the wee hours of the morning after).
For the best spin on the results, I recommend Kelly MacParland.
