Turnout reached roughly 46 per cent, higher than the previous election, and Chow's progressive allies won key council seats, including Mike Layton's return in University-Rosedale. The same election night brought change across the GTA: Alvin Tedjo was elected mayor of Mississauga, Patrick Brown was re-elected in Brampton, and in Hamilton Keanin Loomis defeated Andrea Horwath. Also in this briefing: Mark Carney says Ottawa will work to reform or abolish the Indian Act, Canada-U.S. trade talks pick up before the midterms, and dozens of police services suspend Crime Stoppers after a breach exposed 1.5 million tips.
