邹至蕙（Olivia Chow）在周一晚间击败前市议员布拉德·布拉德福德（Brad Bradford），取得压倒性胜利，正准备开启又一个领导多伦多四年的任期。
Olivia Chow is preparing to lead Toronto for another four years, after an emphatic victory over former councillor Brad Bradford Monday night.
随着她的一些核心盟友当选，邹至蕙将监督一个立场进步、面貌一新的市议会，这使她处于推动其施政纲领的有力地位。
Chow will oversee a progressive, new-look council with several of her key allies elected, putting her in a strong position to pursue her agenda.
这位回归的市长在今年初时看起来胜券在握，随后布拉德福德似乎有可能冲上市长宝座。
The returning mayor started the year looking comfortably ahead, before it appeared Bradford could surge into the mayor's chair.
根据非官方结果（正式结果将在市书记官认证后公布），她最终赢得了一场巨大的胜利——获得了大约53万张选票。
In the end, she won a massive victory — netting roughly 530,000 votes, according to the unofficial results (official results will come once they've been certified by the city clerk).
一场势均力敌的竞选与新的竞选信息 尽管布拉德福德在2023年市长补选中仅获得百分之一的选票，但在整个2026年期间，他一直在缩小与邹至蕙的差距。
A close race and new messaging While Bradford received just one per cent of the vote in the 2023 mayoral byelection, he gained on Chow through 2026.
随着竞选在劳动节后进入白热化，挑战者与现任市长之间的差距似乎显著缩小。
As the race heated up after Labour Day, the gap between challenger and incumbent appeared to narrow significantly.
这股支持率飙升的时机对布拉德福德来说似乎十分有利，出现在竞选接近尾声之际，当时提前投票率似乎比2023年市长补选时高出70%以上。
The timing of the surge seemed like it would be good for Bradford, coming toward the end of the race, when advance voting appeared to be more than 70 per cent higher than the 2023 mayoral byelection.
但正当民调显示布拉德福德顺风顺水之时，邹至蕙的竞选团队围绕这位挑战者及其竞选纲领确定了一条清晰的信息，特别是他关于建立一家公用事业公司来处理城市供水和废水处理的承诺。
But as polling suggested the wind was in Bradford's sails, the Chow campaign settled on a clear message about the challenger and his platform, particularly his pledge to create a public utility company to handle the city's water and wastewater.
多伦多市长候选人在选举日前夕做最后冲刺 布拉德福德表示，该计划将有助于为市政府筹集资金并为居民削减成本，但邹至蕙表示，这意味着城市将失去对一个运作良好的资产的控制，并为私有化打开了大门。
Toronto mayoral candidates make final push ahead of election day Bradford said the plan would help raise funds for city hall and cut costs for residents, but Chow said it would mean the city losing control of an asset that is working well and opens the door to privatization.
曾担任前市长约翰·托利（John Tory）通讯主任的政治战略家布鲁·诺克斯（Blue Knox）表示，这一信息可能触动了多伦多人的敏感神经。她说：“加拿大人喜欢让他们的公共机构保持公有。”
That message may have struck a nerve with Torontonians, said political strategist Blue Knox, who served as former mayor John Tory's director of communications. "Canadians like for their public institutions to stay public," she said.
“她的竞选团队能够——无论你是否同意——非常清晰地将攻击集中在布拉德·布拉德福德的一个承诺上。”乔·乔·莫里森说，她是Texture Communications的副总裁，也是周的支持者，她认为该政策是布拉德福德竞选团队的一个“严重错误”。
"Her campaign was able — whether you agree with it or not — to very clearly distill their attack on one of Brad Bradford's promises." Erin Morrison, vice president of Texture Communications and a Chow supporter, said she thought the policy was a "serious mistake" from the Bradford campaign.
“在距离选举还有大约10天的时候，这真正开始在竞选中发挥作用，”她说。
"That really started to play a role in the campaign with about 10 days to go," she said.
“周很清楚这对她的选民来说很成问题……并将其作为一个议题提出来。”强大的动员投票行动 周的竞选团队能够依靠一支强大的团队来帮助传播她的竞选信息和对对手的批评。她进行了一场“纪律严明的竞选”，诺克斯说。
"Chow, to her credit, really knew that that was problematic to her voters … and made an issue out of it." Strong get-out-the-vote operation The Chow campaign was able to rely on a formidable team to help spread her campaign message and her criticism of her opponent. She ran a "disciplined campaign," Knox said.
甚至布拉德福德的竞选团队在选举之夜也承认，进步多伦多、安大略省新民主党支持者和工会支持周的组合是一股不容小觑的力量。
Even the Bradford campaign acknowledged on election night the combination of Progress Toronto, Ontario NDP supporters and unions backing Chow was a formidable force to reckon with.
“我将每天努力工作以赢得您的信任，”周在胜选演讲中说 “在组织层面上这很艰难，”布拉德福德的传播主管拉里萨·沃勒在投票结束前不久说。
'I will work every day to earn your trust,' says Chow during victory speech "It's tough organizationally," Bradford's head of communications Laryssa Waler said shortly before polls closed.
“她们知道如何让选民出来投票。她们有工会支持，组织非常、非常严密。”授权继续沿用原有路线 虽然布拉德福德阵营提供了一系列新想法，特别是在城市财政方面，但周的阵营紧贴她的履历：租房者、公交票价和学校营养计划。
"They know how to get them out to vote. They have union support, they're very, very organized." Mandate to stay on the same path While Bradford's camp had offered a slew of new ideas, particularly around the city's finances, Chow's camp stayed close to her record: renters, transit fares and a school nutrition program.
诺克斯说，周的竞选团队决定坚持几项建立在她首个任期工作基础上的关键承诺，这将使过渡更加顺利。
Knox said the Chow campaign's decision to stick to a few key promises building on the work of her first term in office will make for a smoother transition.
这意味着周的“手脚不被束缚”于一系列僵化的竞选承诺，她将能够“灵活应对出现的不同情况”。周承诺为多伦多公车局（TTC）乘客设定10次乘车票价上限，加强对租房者的保护，推行学校午餐计划，并为独立杂货商减税。她还表示将继续努力建设更多经济适用房。实现这些承诺将更加容易，因为议会仍与周的核心目标大体一致。
It means Chow's "hands aren't tied" to a series of rigid campaign pledges and she will get to "be flexible to different circumstances that come up." Chow pledged a 10-ride fare cap for riders on the TTC, enhanced protections for renters, a school lunch program and tax cuts for independent grocers. She also said she would continue work to build more affordable housing. Delivering those promises will be made easier by a council still relatively aligned with Chow's core goals.
包括内特·厄斯金-史密斯和迈克·莱顿在内的一些知名进步派盟友，其中莱顿是周的继子，将与她一起进入市政厅。
A number of high-profile progressive allies, including Nate Erskine-Smith and Mike Layton, Chow's own stepson, will join her at city hall.
《生活成本是个问题》：奥利维亚·周向多伦多市民的承诺（她本人的话）莫里森表示，2026年至2030年的议会应该是一个周可以在大多数问题上领导的议会，让她无需诉诸强市长权力就能推动议程，而她已表示不会使用该权力。
'The cost of living is a problem': Olivia Chow's pitch to Toronto (in her own words) Morrison said the 2026-2030 council should be one Chow can lead on most issues — getting her agenda through without needing to resort to strong mayor powers, which she has said she will not use.
“我认为，今晚对周来说是个好消息，因为她在议会中拥有了更多进步派盟友，”她说。“我认为她会发现这是一个很好合作的议会。”
"I think that tonight is good news for Chow in the sense that she's got even more progressive allies on council," she said. "I think she's going to find it an easy council to work with."
