A new poll shows that some of the candidates in the Mississauga mayoral race have significantly closed the gap with front-runner Carolyn Parrish as Election Day draws near.
The poll asked people who they would vote for if the election were held today. According to the results, 29 per cent of decided voters would cast a ballot for Parrish, while 24 per cent said they would vote for Dipika Damerla. Some 19 per cent said they would cast a ballot for Alvin Tedjo. Stephen Dasko stands at 12 per cent support, while Brian Crombie stands at nine per cent. Seven per cent of decided voters said they planned to vote for another one of the 16 candidates who are running.
The results, said Liaison Strategies Principal David Valentin, show "this really could be anyone's race."He noted that in particular, Parrish has lost ground with seniors. While the percentage of undecided voters has dropped to 16 per cent among all voters, it has jumped up to 37 per cent among seniors.
She subsequently cited "a new style of politics" in the race, as well as the safety of a colleague in an announcement saying she would no longer take part in debates. "A big question mark continues to be turnout and which campaigns have the team and program to deliver voters to the polls," Valentin said.in the first three days of advance voting is up 42 per cent compared to the same period in the 2022 municipal elections. So far 2,250 voters have cast their ballots.
Police in northern Ontario identified the body found shot to death in the woods last week as a missing man saying it was murder.Three northern Ont. police officers who shot and killed an Indigenous man four years ago were cleared of wrongdoing and now a coroner's inquest is underway to prevent similar incidents in the future.
