Will competing Toronto mayoral endorsements spark change in final campaign days?

The mayoral race has entered its final sprint as arguably the two biggest names in Toronto politics weigh in with competing robocalls.

On Thursday, the voices of both former mayor John Tory and sitting premier Doug Ford could be heard in robocalls, urging voters to support competing candidates.

The two men endorsed rival campaigns on Wednesday. Tory came out in support of Ana Bailão, his former deputy mayor, and Ford confirmed his already apparent support for former police chief Mark Saunders.

Hardly. It’s no secret Ford endorsed Saunders from Day 1. If anything that likely hurt Saunder’s chances. As for Tory, that’s for Ana Bailao to rue.
