Topic: An Analytical Deep-Dive Into the 2023 Mayoral By-Election

• What can the results of the recent mayoral election tell us about what Torontonians think? In this session, we will dissect the vote breakdown shifts from the previous election, examining what candidate support patterns reveal about evolving voter attitudes towards key city issues. Come prepared to delve into the intersection of data, politics, and public sentiment in shaping Toronto's future.
