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.

We are a long way away from making a new, good internet that's a worthy successor to the old, good internet, and at least as far from a new, good Toronto that the people of the old, good Toronto would have built but for Tory wreckers and the Christmas-voting turkeys who elevated them to office. But both are possible - and both demand that we fight for them.
