posts like this feel like subtle racism or judging a book by it's cover. why does it matter that they're not white/male? it isnt like their policies are going to be any different than the majority leadership of decades past

- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Is it? I thought she was like a lefty from NDP which was a huge departure from Toronto mayors past and also benefits from a strong mayor paradigm that cons set up in the city
In other words she sounds awesome
Now build the goddamn bike lanes/paths. Toronto has sucked for so long in terms of urbanism and now with new, non-carbrained leadership maybe good things will start to happen.
Calgary already has a woman of color mayor. Toronto isn’t that important.
It is for everyone that isn’t in Alberta. Like it or not, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal all sever as leaders for their provinces and the country as a whole. It’s not fair but its heavily dependant on city size.
Hopefully they elected her because shes best fit for the job. Not because shes black. Learn from Chicago
She's asian and was the only candidate with major name recognition in the race, so she was on cruise for the win since she threw her hat in the ring. She was a federally elected representative for a riding in Toronto for the better part of a decade, and was a city councillor for even longer, so she has significant experience. Time will tell if that matters. She is probably not going to be outed as a crackhead at the very least, and as a widow is also unlikely to get caught up in any extra-marital affairs, so baby steps forward for Toronto mayors.
hopefully it works out So tired of these horrible politicians
Asian people are consisted "people of color" now?
Always have been.
