1916 Toronto municipal election
Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1916. Mayor Tommy Church was elected to his second term in office.
Toronto mayor
Church had first been elected mayor the year previous. In the words of the Toronto Daily Star the mayoral contest "was something of a joke" as Church was only opposed by Harry Winberg, who had never before held elected office. Church ignored his opponent during the campaign, and was easily returned.

Results taken from the January 1, 1916 Toronto Daily Star and might not exactly match final tallies.
gollark: Unfortunately (in my opinion) I believe most new phones use AMOLED.
gollark: They're small ones.
gollark: The contrast is better since pixels can be fully turned off, and you can make displays flexible, but it's less efficient at higher brightness and you get burn-in as the LEDs degrade.
gollark: Instead of an LED backlight and an LCD thingy to switch pixels on/off, you just have a lot of organic-compound-based LEDs.
gollark: It's a display technology.
