2014 really brings the perspective.

Interesting polling numbers.

If she's the left's candidate for this election, I'll be voting Matlow. So disappointing

And it's official, Saunders is in the race

Olivias time has come and gone. She'd definitely help a left candidate get some votes, but she wouldn't be a good candidate. I heard she was trying to sound out support, but didn't get a great response. I hope personally Kristyn Wong-Tam runs for office, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

3 terms would be 12 years, which should be more than enough to begin and start the execution of planning.

I know term limits were discussed a little in the last election, but I hope it gets brought up in this by-election. Has it ever been put to a vote before council?

Who ever becomes mayor, council is going to become more "fun". The city needs to raise revenues to pay for so many projects including state of good repair, but they don't have the means currently. Gil seems out of his depth in politics, and isn't very good at making friends. Case in point was...

Chloe's appeal is her straight talking no-nonsense style. She comes across to be the anti-politician from burbs, which as a policy analyst is surprising. The more she spoke, the more people connected with her and her style, but the problem is getting her in front of people. Chloe doesn't play...

Even with the strong mayor he'd need 7/8 councillors to follow, and he's shown he can't play well with others. If you look at the potential candidates for the election, I think he will struggle to get the support of a Carroll or Fletcher that he'd need to make him more viable. Gil is dead in...

I was more thinking with the current plans for line 4 to connect at some point to Sheppard West, that this would be seperate from line 1. Metrolinx has floated the idea of some type of loop in its current future planning.

I think a problem with Marlow's potential run is how many councillors will actually back him? He's very performative, and gives a good interview, but how much gets passed by council?

How much is the possibility that they end up Connecting Line 2 to Line 4 and make a loop line of sorts? Line 4 has been envisioned, for as long as I know, to go for a 1 seat ride to STC. With the province looking to extend the line to at least Sheppard/McCowan it seems like they could align this
