OK, let me try .. Karen Sun has more experience: in management, at City Hall, in grassroots campaigns, on municipal boards and as a volunteer. She was sitting on David Miller's Roundtable on the Environment when Mike Layton was still in university (he graduated in 2006). Mike has puffed up...

Sean McCormick just removed Fred Dominelli from his endorsements page. Lobbyist Paul Christie is still there, though.

I agree with MetroMan about Likourezos, which is why the large number of his signs has created a large WTF factor in how I view the sign war. I just don't buy that all the people with signs on their lawns are actually voting for the candidate on the sign.

Torontoist has a round-up of the Ward 19 council race. People who are sensitive to cognitive dissonance should be careful when reading Sean McCormick's transit plan. He is in favour of subway expansion, but opposes Transit City because it would cost too much to operate (experts estimate that...

Apparently, Sean McCormick's "Rocktoberfest" all-you-can-drink party will take place at The Underground Garage. Never been, but according to Toronto Life, this place has a stripper pole, and a bra and thong hanging from the ceiling. Good lord, why does anybody take this guy seriously?

From today's Toronto Star: On waste and getting wasted Sportscaster Sean McCormick, candidate in Toronto Ward 19 (Trinity-Spadina), is holding a “Rocktoberfest†fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 16. “The cost is just $35,†says the Facebook event page promoting the event, “which is...

This is not about people with shared ideals campaigning together. Principal Maria Pantalone, who is Joe Pantalone's sister, inappropriately (it is alleged) sent children home with campaign literature belonging to Chris Bolton, who is campaigning with Mike Layton, who endorsed Joe Pantalone...

The Sean McCormick campaign is now demanding that Chris Bolton step down, as the TDSB investigates this alleged campaign scandal.

Michael Sims' campaign platform lists these planks: No more school closings - if there aren't enough students, then use the spaces for daycares, senior centres, and other community uses Integrate immigrants better Use more Open Source technologies and materials Good governance - smarter...

But Mike Layton says he is not affiliated with any party! What is this "NDP team" of which you speak?

I agree with Citylslikr and All Fired Up in the Big Smoke: there absolutely needs to be more council debates in bars. The Ward 19 debate last night at the Garrison was great. The Ossington Village blog is streaming the video here. The best part of the evening was not actually about the...

There seems to be more McCormick signs near Queen Street. Near College/Palmerston, there are more Layton signs. Karen Sun has pockets of signs to the west and north of Bloor. It all seems to be correlated with where their campaign offices are. But all of these signs seem to be concentrated in...

True that. But was that Vaughan's screw-up or community housing staffers and senior management? Should Vaughan have known that the costs would go up like that? I can't really find fault with the principle that homeless shelters are needed close to where the homeless are, even if there are clubs...

The Sean McCormick campaign is now claiming the support of all Liberals. In fact, aside from one Liberal, McCormick's endorsements page is made up entirely of PC/Conservatives (plus Fred Dominelli, who is his own special case). Not exactly a big red tent.

I think Vaughan did a pretty good job with the Entertainment District issue. He used new AGCO rules to attach conditions to licenses, allowing more focused enforcement. And even better, he worked with the ED to help develop a new pedestrian-friendly neighborhood plan for the area that should...

My slight willingness to consider voting for Sean McCormick is now gone. His endorsements page is a rogue's gallery of lobbyists, notorious trough-feeders and right-wing ideologues. Only John Tory can claim respectability, and he does not live in the ward. Wasn't Tom Jakobek or Chris...

I think all the candidates brought a cheering section. I was in the back, and the same people clapping for McCormick at the beginning (just for saying Hi) were the same people clapping at the end. I can't be sure, but I would say that Sun picked up some fans and so did Footman. I was...

Well, you did a great job moderating!

I was at the debate too, and I'm inclined to agree. I'm 95% sure Karen Sun will get my vote. The funniest part of the whole night was when Mike Layton, with a straight face, denied having any party affiliation. The audience nearly laughed and booed him off the stage! Layton has also been...

Sean McCormick thinks there are 12 TTC board members. Actually, there are nine.
