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.
