Hopefully, every reader of the Spacing Wire knows we also have a sister blog called Spacing Votes that has numerous daily posts about Toronto’s upcoming municipal election. Our team of reporters have fanned out across the city to try and bring you articles on issues that are important to the future of our city. For those of you not interested in the election, there are only 16 days until election day (on Nov. 13).
