Not trying to bash Smitherman but I have questions on this. I thought the Yonge line extension was lready in progress heading towards Vaughn corporate center with about 6 new stations. Why on Smithermans transit map does it have 9 new stations with the terminus at York U? Also, will the Air Rail...

I'll come back when Rob Ford is mayor of Toronto.

And I don't believe Smitherman's promised tax freeze for a minute. It can't be done without large scale cuts to the budget - cuts which far exceed those proposed by Ford. Smitherman is a Dalton McGuinty big spend Liberal who says anything to get elected and will lie at the first opportunity.He...

Do you also tell them how Smithers will pay for all this? Besides, I thought the air rail link, Sheppard LRT/Finch LRT were existing projects? I can see most of those lines being delayed by several years.

If I told you that I was looking to get employed by the City of Toronto (whether it be as a garbage man, construction or parks and rec) or a public service such as the TTC, which candidate would be the best choice in keeping these options open?

I got that thought from here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tqter5X94VUJ:www.publicvalues.ca/ViewArticle.cfm%3FRef%3D00606+george+smitherman+privatize+ttc&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca&client=firefox-a and here...

Yes, but the same thing can be said with Smitherman. From what I understand, he said he has considered or is considering privatizing the TTC and freezing wages for city workers. What is so "progressive" about that? Privatizing the TTC will do much more harm than what you guys think Rob Fords...

That poll may not be accurate but this is; a record number of seniors are expected to and have already voted (advanced polls) this year. We all know the majority of seniors support Fords policies and rightly so. You guys should have listened to Rob Ford on Friendly Fire tonight (CFRB 1010). He...

What do you mean by cut transit. Is he going to cut back bus services and routes or anything of the sort?

No As the children of immigrants, immigrants tend to care about politics more than the average person. It makes sense because these people are trying to start a new life in this great city, and want someone who can help them get settled. In this case, they don't want to be bombarded with taxes...

I would rather have a "racist" as mayor who is actually going to stop wasteful spending on useless programs nad projects rather than a gay guy who has a history for blowing money. I don't know how peopel see otherwise. Peopel are so concerned with diversity and all these multi-culturalist events...

Smitherman isn't that slim either. Have you seen him in a t-shirt? I can count several rolls.

So you are part of the heart and soul of this forum? You fully understand everything that goes on here? Because you hardly get off you're computer Mr.9000 posts you think that you are one of those experienced members who demands people become the "heart and soul" of the site? Meanwhile I see...

Hey man, I signed up for this site because I wanted to talk about issues in the city, public transport and get advice on livign conditions so I can eventually move in town. All of a sudden I am called names and told I am to immature to discuss topics like this? I thought I stressed it enough...

adma I have no intention of browsing through a 101 page thread so I can get a "sense" of how the forum works. I'm sorry that when you were my age you couldn't wait to grow up and become one the the big boys who thinks he can call people who think for thesmelves "twerps", but you don't have to...

Are me and Peepers the only Rob Ford supporters that have posted recently on this thread? Every single forum or comment section I go to, there are a bunch of left wing Smitherman supporters bashing Ford like no freaking tomorrow. Yet Ford still has tons of support? Are Rob Ford supporters scared...

Hey MetroMan. I'm sorry for calling you out. and calling you an idiot. Does that make you feel better man?

Are you serious man? That earlier comment was part of a sarcastic rant that I used to show that not all people my age are mindless farts. Please don't pick and choose. @ Fac1 As Brampton still needs developing and change to make it a better city, I will be voting for the person who is...

I don't have to ask my parents for help on who to vote for. I can think for my self.

So because of my age, my opinion does NOT matter even if justify it? That logic is the definition of low IQ. "Hey, I'm not going to even consider anything you say because of such and such". That is just being close minded. If you actually got up from your computer and got involved in the...
