In 1998, the dead-eyed Romneyoid Premier of Ontario #MikeHarris "amalgamated" Toronto with its suburbs, putting it at the mercy of car-addled out-of-towners in an act of gerrymandering that all-but-guaranteed that city residents' political choices would be swamped by suburbanites who could be convinced to vote for laughable Tory bumblefucks like #RobFord.

Overcoming the gerrymander required a massive turnout - not merely a supermajority, but an *ultramajority* of politically motivated, organized, committed, *pissed off* Torontonians; Chow's election is a minor miracle that part of the wave of other historic reversals, like the DoJ awakening from its coma to drag Google into court on #antitrust charges.
