I don't believe the concept of
omnipotence is even possible, so naturally I don't apply it to "science" any more than I do to imaginary beings.

Yea ok Mr. 24 posts.
If people stop defending the obvious serious political blunders Tory made in the past, it wouldn't need to be debated. And Tory's track record is very relevant to the thread. Tory supporters simply want to diminish his bad political track record, and I'm not going to let that happen on my watch.

My guess would be he is exactly the same guy as in 2007. The one thing about guys like Tory, is they aren't very progressive at all.

I think
all politicians should possess the basic qualities of being "reasonable and logical". But that doesn't get the cream in the cupcake.
We need leaders who have the balls to stand up to populist political notions, and Tory's track record is not good on that. He will try and appease every single group he runs into, and that is not only never going to work, it's exactly how not to run a city. Sometimes you have to not be the "nice guy", and you better know when and when not to do that. And during this campaign, Tory has proven he hasn't changed....
at all.
reasonable and logical is a nice start, but if you want what the city requires....a progressive city-builder, with the ability to cultivate that within Council and upper levels of government, then I don't think Tory is the best candidate for that at all. His last mayoral opponent was one of those guys.
