Toronto has experienced historic elections. Olivia Chow will become the new mayor of the largest city in Canada. She is the third woman to hold this position. In addition, she promises to carry out a more left-wing policy after more than a decade of Conservative government.
The mayoral race has not been easy. Chow has competed with 102 candidates running for the consistory. A whole record. Among them, the candidacy headed by Molly, a six-year-old dog who appeared together with her owner Toby Heaps, called attention.
Molly, a six-year-old wolf/husky mix, also had a campaign-heavy ticket. One of her main proposals is to reduce the use of salt on city streets during the winter, used to remove accumulated snow, because it damages the feet of animals. Instead, she promised alternatives that were just as effective, but healthier.
This dog wanted to multiply the number of dog parks and provide them with better facilities. In addition, he proposed extending the public transport schedule to travel safely with pets. Ultimately, he intended to replace “inefficient annual dog (and cat) licenses with a unique registration ID card.”
In his opinion, none of these measures were trivial, because more than 300,000 dogs live in Toronto: “We believe that we can make Toronto one of the friendliest places for dogs on earth,” its owner defended on his Instagram account. .
Despite not winning the Toronto elections, his candidacy came to excite many residents of this Canadian city. Tiana Noble, a resident who works in business development for a charity, says she was a lovable and entertaining applicant, according to The Toronto Observer.
