Which cards has he shown? A willingness to allow Nunziata time to rectify her previous partisanship? Shucks, he has Carroll in his back pocket if Nunziata fails... David Shiner as P&G Chair? There are Filion and K W-T on that committee to keep an eye on him as well as three new councillors I...

Hop over to the John Tory thread...but anyway..Striking Committee has reccomended him for the following Government Mgmt, Hockey Hall of Fame, TRCA and Audit....

I wonder whose corn flakes Matlow pissed in to be relegated to only two committees...L&S (not even among his choices) and Audit...compared to say R Ford who is on Government Mgmt (1st choice), Audit, TRCA and Hockey Hall of Fame....Just to put a further exclamation on the point take a look at...

Fragedakis and Matlow to start with....much, much better choices than say Shiner and Palacio

Stevie D....here are my choices.... from back on Oct 29/14

You know what is really interesting J Tory's pick of Chin Lee for the TPSB (he sat on the Board prior to 2010)...He didn't even express an interest in the Clerk's canvas... Those that did included Burnside Carroll Carmichael-Greb Cho Crisanti De Ciano Fletcher Ford Grimes Karygiannis...

Using your football analogy...If you are JJ Watt you have your choice....Will they have fire in their bellies for the positions or are they just acquiescing....

Take a look at the Clerk's canvas neither J Robinson or G Crawford expressed any interest in the positions they are pegged for....

Sure, and just accept that the incoming Budget Chief and Public Works Chair showed absolutely no interest in the positions they are being appointed to when canvassed for their choices of positions on committees....

What is with these Deputy Mayors of N-E-W-S....It could be construed as an attempt to usurp the authority of the Community Councils considering each Council elects their own Chair and Vice. Supposedly the Chair of each CC is the voice of their community not an appointed toady of the newly...

The Gold List numbers are out for 2013 sales...Deco is still at 36M same as 2012...Where is that 3M per year increase we've been seeing since Deco started to report, I guess someone forgot to massage the numbers....Oh, just in passing RR Donnelly was down from 261M in 2012 to 233.9M in 2013....

Really, now, are Crisanti, Nunziata, Palacio, FDG, Mammo, Moeser and Perruzza going to purposely put themselves on the outside looking in standing with R Ford? We've already seen Grimes, Crawford, Robinson, Thompson and DMW align themselves with J Tory....R Ford's faction has broken, he'll be a...

Technicolor?

As my wife says... "That's different"......

Just curious here...Does anyone know if D Ford is even a paid up member of the PCPO? Will D Ford be treated as an outsider given Richard Ciano PCPO president is or was N Kouvalis's business partner? Does D Ford have the expectation of selling innumerable PCPO memberships to Scarborolonians...

The reality of the situation is that R Ford while making noise about wanting 15 new Councillors yet he did not endorse any. The only reason J Nunziata and C Stockwell seemed to be endorsed by D Ford is because they happened to be registering at the same time the Fords were shuffling the deck...

Crisanti, Perruzza, FDG, Nunziata and Palacio returned....the fabulous five (at least according to R Ford)
