Toronto municipal electionBrian Buffey appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Mayor. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 14, 2026 and shows no campaign website for him.
The Local's candidate page, updated as of September 21, 2026, says little information about him is available online. It says he ran for Mayor in 2018 and in the 2023 by-election. The City's declaration of results for the 2023 by-election lists Brian Buffey with 113 votes, 79th of 102 candidates.
The Local reports that on a GoFundMe page he says he would change the last two weeks of June from Pride Month to “Straight Family Pride” and “end every ‘Woke’ program in the city”, and that he would close safe injection sites and give City resources to rehabilitation centres instead. It also reports that in a Facebook post he vows to resolve the shortage of affordable housing and make the TTC safe and effective. It reports that his Facebook page has shared posts, some of them AI-generated, against Islam, Pride events, Olivia Chow and Mark Carney, and that he has called liberalism “a dangerous mental illness”. voche.me could not find the GoFundMe page or the Facebook posts and relies on The Local for these statements.

Gaps. The City's list gives no campaign website. The GoFundMe page and the Facebook posts that The Local describes could not be found through search, so none was opened and the quotations rest on The Local. His 2018 candidacy was not checked against the City's 2018 results. A volunteer-run candidate tracker page held no statements for him. The questionnaire has not been sent.
The Local says he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor in 2018. voche.me did not open the City's 2018 results.
