Vimuththan Nantheeswarar campaign website (WE > ME)Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, the campaign website, the candidate’s Know Your Vote T.O. page, the TDSB’s trustee wards page, the City Clerk’s 2022 declaration of results, the TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 trustee list and a CBC News report of September 2, 2025. The candidate’s roles, studies and priorities come from the campaign’s own website and answers and are attributed to them in the sentences that carry them. A check of the City Clerk’s 2022 results found no entry with this name.
TDSB wards changed for 2026. Ward 12 covers City wards 24 and 25, which the City names Scarborough-Guildwood and Scarborough-Rouge Park. In 2022 the board’s wards were numbered differently. The TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 trustee list names the old Ward 19 as Scarborough-Guildwood and the old Ward 22 as Scarborough-Rouge Park. The City Clerk’s 2022 results mark Zakir Patel elected in the old Ward 19 and Anu Sriskandarajah elected in the old Ward 22, and a CBC News report of September 2, 2025 describes them as the trustees for those two areas. Anu Sriskandarajah is also a candidate in Ward 12. Those seats belong to the old wards and are not treated as seats in the new Ward 12. The TDSB’s trustee wards page says that during provincial supervision the powers of trustees rest with the provincially appointed Supervisor, that trustees have no official duties with the board at this time, and that this also applies to trustees elected in the October 2026 election. The campaign website calls the candidate’s area “District 12 (Wards 19 & 22)”, which matches the old ward numbers in the TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 list.
Gaps. The website loads its text through a script, so WebFetch and a plain download returned only the page title. The text was read from the site’s script file, and a selection is saved by hand and marked as a selection. The site also carries long personal writing, and voche.me left out everything that concerns the candidate’s health or family. The Know Your Vote T.O. page lists no social account. No news report that names the candidate was found. No board minutes were searched because no public office is on record in the profile. The questionnaire has not been sent.
The website’s own label reads “Former TDSB PIAC Ward 22 Co-Rep”. It refers to the old Ward 22. voche.me found no board record to check it.
