This is a mayoral campaign thread, not for the tabloid stuff
- Thread starter erika
- Start date
What's the count? 3 votes for continue, 2 for step down? Or did I over-estimate the response volume?
I've got a ticket to this mayoral debate and I'm incredibly excited.

i don't think anyone's ever accused olivia chow of not having enough confidence.
we obviously disagree on her ability to conduct herself at city council. she was a hugely successful and influential city councillor for many years (winning several "best city councillor" awards from media and public voting), and she definitely knows how to build consensus and work with folks that have different views.
from what i've seen, i also believe that john tory is smart, influential and persuasive, so we don't disagree there. my problem with tory, and rob ford, is that their political leanings are too conservative.
i agree with the toronto star article that i posted above, that toronto faces a pivotal time, where the divide between the "haves" and the "have nots" is bigger than ever, and there is a fast-shrinking middle class. i would prefer to live in a city that is kinder to the less fortunate, where the rich pay more to keep the city beautiful and there are ample social programs to help the less privileged such as affordable housing/daycare/dental care, childhood nutrition and the like. that is what i want from my municipal politicians.

there are still a lot of people in transit from Burning Man so the numbers may increase by the end of the week.

How is the winner of the mayoral election determined? Do they count all the votes and see who has the most votes or do they count the votes within the wards and whoever wins the most wards is the mayor?

BBJ is a very likely suspect.

LOL
Ford to Tory - You never saved any money as the leader of the PC party!
Tory to Ford - I was the Opposition!
LOL, Ford got smoked.

They're really hard to identify over the past year, because he's sunk so low what happens is misdirection or attempting to point out similar errors by libtards (I mean, "political opponents").
Has there been a positive, declarative case for Ford in any single post made in the past 12 months? If so I missed it... So might be better to search who has most frequently posted reference to the Wynne government in Ford threads and we'd find our supporters.

Oh, c'mon. That's like playing hide and seek with a siren attached to the person trying to hide.

to clarify i don't mean overall confidence which she clearly has to have made it to where she is, it's her inability to package and convey her message with assurance that is seriously lacking.
this cartoon sums it up nicely
tory is also more socially minded than ford by a long shot. he's a social conservative and the less fortunate would be in a better spot than under the current leadership.
