Exactly. If the Finch West LRT remains a circus and the Crosstown delivers more of the same, good luck convincing anyone to support way-down-the-road future LRT projects - particularly when they’re being sold by fools like Josh Matlow.

I was never a fan of Rob Ford, but Josh Matlow’s relentless push for LRTs makes him look pretty foolish in hindsight. Ford was right about one thing: Toronto should have been building more subways instead of LRTs. The Finch West LRT has turned into a textbook example of why - so much disruption...

As much as I’d love to see Ana Bailao run again, I just don’t see it happening... and that’s a real disappointment. My gut tells me she runs as a Liberal in the 2029 Ontario election. John Tory? He’s had his time. The last thing Toronto needs is yet another tired comeback attempt. Marco...

Agreed 100%.

This kind of deals tells me that Ana Bailao is the best mayor Toronto never had.

I predict Mayor Chow’s next 3.5 years to eventually be seen as just.. meh. We’ll see.

My take: Olivia Chow won but didn’t blow this out of the water. Scarborough is the reason she is the new mayor. The next 3.5 years is going to be rough no matter what - so much to do and work on. I hope Toronto gets better under Mayor Olivia Chow, however, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. If she...

Sorry. I didn’t know the election happened and Olivia Chow is now our new mayor. Thanks.

So, what happens if Doug Ford and the conservatives get re-elected again in 2026? Just keep saying Ford is handcuffing the city and wait until the Ontario Liberals get back into power? I would like a mayor who will try to have conversations with his government instead of fighting them. If Olivia...

I want someone who will try to work with the premier. Maybe I'm crazy to think that. 🤷‍♂️

Given that she has sat in opposition positions during her political career, supported some outlandish things in the past and what she believes in, I don't have confidence in her ability to lead the city forward in the most manageable way. "I am ready to tax!" That alone doesn't sit well with...

My mistake with the grammar error. Thanks for pointing it out. A) I'm not saying Ford improved anything at city hall. I wanted George Smitherman elected in 2010. B) Tory ran on SmartTrack. It was his signature campaign promise, regardless if it worked out or not. I know people who liked his...

And if we go more in the direction of cities like Vancouver and San Francisco, do you think we'll improve?

Rob Ford ran on stopping the gravy train, John Tory pushed SmartTrack. Olivia Chow hasn’t presented anything of real substance or catchy. If she wins, she is winning based on name recognition in a by-election where most people don’t want to pay attention to. “I’m Olivia Chow and I love Toronto”...

Bingo. You nailed it.
