I'm still with Matlow. Chow is my nightmare candidate, even more so than Saunders, there is literally nothing there with her. No substance. Never been in power, never managed multi-billion dollar budgets, never negoitiated with unions, out of city hall for years. I would like to know who set...

since some posters have not realized there is some question about Chinese government jockeying for influence in Canada, let me say that again the CHINESE government, not the Peruvian government, not the Swedish goverment the CHINESE government. That's why when you see campaign signs in...

I lived in England for over a decade and I have never heard the word.

what was wrong with living in a co-op? oh right it didn't fit the narrative st jack was peddling. You ought to know that MP and councillors are PAID for the work they do - expenses, travel, pensions. They do NOT do it out of the kindness of their hearts. again with the nonsense politcal...

not sure if you are aware but China regards HK as it's territory even tho it was only handed back in 1997. No ignorance here comrade. Just toronto born, bred and proud.

not sure if you are aware but CHINA is online trying to influence our democracy, just like the internet big shots don't like legislation about news providers. Consider the source!

following orders - well done comrade layton! see? I don't speak mandarin zang can you translate?

Ignorance and Dogwhistles? That's nice Torontonian talk. Born and Bred here. I don't need to answer you but out of old fashioned courtesy (google it) I will. 22 years of public service? You mean lunches with contractors/advocates at the city's expense? Hanging on to St Jack's coattails to...

Puppet Chow - She clearly has done elocution lessons, radio spot says "it shouldn't be so hard" her voice crackling with sympathy. So Torontonians can't cope with a hard time? They want the easy life always? Sounds boring to me. She is out of city council since it's restructuring, so her...

That's what I think is so unsettling about Chow, clearly she is a puppet the question is who's pulling the strings? The crack she made about being criticized for not speaking English well was designed to appeal to immigrants. I'm a St Mikes baby and would never mock someone for speaking English...

Okay, candidate who promises to shut off TD bank's mother-ship beacon wins my vote. Tonight I am not permitted to stand on my own balcony and enjoy the night sky because TD bank and it's billions-in-profit haven't got the brain cells to understand there are other people on the planet. I hate...

seriously I WANT TORONTO TO BE A CITY STATE! TORONTO CANADA - an idea who's time is now. no one talks about our lack of control in our city. Can't someone come up with something new that allows Toronto to decide on it's own future?

You have to remember the change to 25 councillors at the insistence of the province, there is a lot of work to do at the local level. Councillors can NOT stop developments. They can NOT control healthcare in their regions. They do NOT set education policy or structures. They are supposed to...

Both those cities have similar problems. My objection is that the debates are about things the mayor has little control over - the mayor doesn't control food distribution network, can't stop unnecessary development, has nothing to say about health care sector, education or the economy (i.e...

Chow may have said something like that in the past, remember there was a lot of contention about the airport, she would not do it now tho. That's what gets me about Chow, she is a puppet, decision-by-committee. I wish I could see what others see in Chow, reminds me so much of Donald Trump -...

by way of apology, my photos of 66 George St, which now has an application for reconstruction, been empty since a fire at the coffee shop way back in 2017 (?)

Doors Open snuck up on me, usually there is an article about it here but I don't see it, any suggestions? (Yes I know it is off topic - did it on purpose to provoke a response) update - just had a look online, think I will take a proper wander around Billy Bishop, have never really taken the...

the court was swayed by all the chaos in the criminal's life, the fact that he chose to consume drugs/booze doesn't enter into the equation, the way the prison system is now he might not make it out alive. Long ago they sent young men into the army to get some routine in their lives, called in...

some times you forget how beautiful this city is

Got my voters card - advance polls for Spadina-Fort York are at 45 Fort York (2km away) and 155 Crawford (4km away). Not easy for the seniors but 26 June site (85 The Esplanade) is VERY convenient. I've decided (for now) on Matlow. Chow is a total bust for me, spineless, rhetoric-driven and...
