Alvin Tedjo is projected to become Mississauga’s next mayor after Monday’s municipal election, defeating incumbent Carolyn Parrish and former mayor Bonnie Crombie, according to independent election calls by CP24-CTV News and Global News.

The city’s unofficial results, updated at 8:45 p.m. EDT on 26 October, showed Tedjo with 63,508 votes, Parrish with 45,178 and Crombie with 37,477. The city said 89.5 per cent of all its polls were reporting at that point. These were partial, unofficial figures, rather than a certified final result.

Tedjo has served on city council since 2022. CTV reported that his campaign included a promise to freeze the city’s portion of residential property taxes for two years, increase the property-tax rebate for seniors and make municipal programs more affordable and accessible for families.

The result reverses the outcome of Mississauga’s 2024 mayoral byelection. Global News reported that Tedjo finished second in that contest with 25 per cent of the vote, behind Parrish’s 31 per cent.

Counting remained underway on Monday evening. The city’s election portal is publishing updates for mayor, ward and regional councillors, and school board trustees as additional polls report.

Alberta Early Count Backs Greater Provincial Control Over Immigration

Updated: 20 October 2026, 11:49 a.m. EDT (Toronto) Alberta’s unofficial referendum count showed majority support on Tuesday morning for giving the provincial government greater control over immigration, as counting continued after Monday’s vote. At the 9:46 a.m. MDT update on 20 October, Elections Alberta recorded 740,455 Yes votes and 598,066 No votes on Question 1. That put support at about 55.3 per cent of the 1,338,521 valid votes counted for that question.

The figures are an interim count of responses to that proposal, rather than an announcement of new immigration rules. Global News reported that margins on several immigration and constitutional questions were much narrower than the vote against pursuing a future separation referendum. Its Tuesday report also pu...
