Meet Morgan Baskin: She’s 18 years old and wants to be Toronto’s next mayor | Metro
Morgan Baskin is 18 years old. She lives in the downtown neighbourhood of Corktown and is set to graduate from high school in June. She likes to read and says she probably watches too much TV – or used to, anyway.
And, oh yeah, she’s running to be the next mayor of Toronto.
Baskin registered to run earlier this month and since then has faced a steady barrage of attention. The spotlight is always a good thing for an aspiring politician, but I’ve been wondering if the coverage hasn’t been portraying her only as a novelty – a wannabe teen mayor.
