Candidate for Councillor in Ward 11 University-Rosedale, with a website whose claims are unverified.
Huy Lieu is on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 11 University-Rosedale, with a nomination filed on May 7, 2026. The City’s list shows no campaign website for him. The Local says he ran for Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee in Ward 9 in 2022 and finished last of seven, and that much of what his website says about him is unverified.

Toronto municipal electionHuy Lieu appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 11 University-Rosedale. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 7, 2026. It gives no campaign website.
The Local’s Ward 11 tracker, updated as of September 21, 2026, says little information about him is available online. It reports that he ran for school trustee in the Toronto Catholic District School Board’s Ward 9 in 2022, finishing last out of seven candidates. The City Clerk’s declaration of results for October 24, 2022 lists Huy Lieu among seven candidates for that board’s Ward 9 with 412 votes, the lowest total, marked not elected. Kevin Morrison was elected with 1,832. The seven declared totals add up to 6,658 votes, so his share was 6.2 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. The Local’s report ties that entry to this candidate. The ward is the board’s Ward 9 as it was in 2022.
The site huylieu.ca presents itself as the Huy Lieu University-Rosedale Councillor Campaign. Its home page is headed “A Bold Voice for Our Community” and credits him with work as an innovator, mentor and songwriter, including defense technology. These are the website’s own statements, and no outlet or record opened by voche.me confirms them. The Local says much of the site’s content, including claims of royal lineage and sainthood, is unverifiable or has not been verified. The home page also carries long passages that make claims about named public figures and world events. voche.me did not verify those claims and does not repeat them.
The City’s list gives no website for him, so the link between that site and this candidate rests on the site’s own wording (a University-Rosedale councillor campaign under his name) and on The Local’s description of its content, which matches what the site says.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
The website’s platform section says he would champion local business, support financial literacy and protect what residents have built.
This is the website’s own statement, and the page names no policies, costs or dates.
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, its Members of Council page and the Ward 11 councillor’s profile, the City Clerk’s declaration of results for 2022, the home page of the website huylieu.ca, The Local’s Ward 11 tracker and The Green Line’s Ward 11 guide. No public office is on record in his profile. Every statement taken from the website is written as the campaign’s own account. The sitting Ward 11 councillor on the City’s Members of Council page is Dianne Saxe. The City’s candidate data records her as withdrawn from Ward 11 on August 21, 2026, and The Local and The Green Line report that she is running in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth instead, so she is not on the Ward 11 ballot. The nine candidates for Ward 11 on the City’s list are Alice Li, Diana Yoon, Gian Pileri, Huy Lieu, Karina Lemke, Keenan Courtis, Mike Layton, Paul Viret and Terri Hawkes.
Gaps. The 2022 Ward 9 result is from the City Clerk, and the link between that entry and this candidate is The Local’s report. No platform page, social media account or news report in which he speaks for himself was found. The campaign’s claims about his inventions, mentoring and songwriting were not verified and are given only as the website’s statements. The questionnaire has not been sent.
The City Clerk’s declaration of results lists Huy Lieu with 412 votes of 6,658 declared (6.2 percent, calculated by voche.me), seventh of seven candidates. Kevin Morrison was elected. The Local’s Ward 11 tracker ties this entry to the candidate.
