Jay Aissa is loud and brash and was extremely vocal during the early life of the LRT and the fact that it isn't running yet is going to lend a lot of credibility* to him in this campaign. It might even be enough to pull out people who continue to cheer that they are sick of government waste to vote in a regional election which is probably a first for most of them. He's smart enough to ride the populist wave which is clearly yet to crest in Ontario.
I am hopeful I am wrong, but regional and municipal elections tend to only draw people who are engaged, and Aissa has a few good tools for the worst kind of engagement at his disposal.
* in the same way that Doug Ford is viewed as credible by some, which I mean as the strongest possible pejorative about Ford, Aissa and the people who would vote for either
