Chow gets one more throwdown as rivals peg her as candidate to beat in Toronto election

Toronto mayoralIn the latest challenge thrown down Wednesday, former longtime councillor Giorgio Mammolitti said he’d like to take on Chow one-on-one in a debate.

“I'm staring you down right now. You and me in a debate,” Mammolitti told news cameras in a challenge reminiscent of World Wrestling Entertainment, before going on to rail against Transgender people reading to children. According to University of Toronto Political Science Professor Nelson Wiseman, going after the front-runner is what pretty much every candidate in a very crowded pack of candidates needs to do.

In light of that, Wiseman said, he was "surprised" that Mark Saunders didn't take part in the debate.While Toronto has been plagued by poor voter turnout in recent elections, Wiseman predicted that this election could be different because there is an open race and a strong roster of candidates.
