The TTC has a lot the proud of but public opinion just doesn't see it. People see their fares going up and the Scarborough Subway debate becoming a complete circus and they'll blame her.
I'm terrified that if Ford loses in October that he'll run again in 2018.

(a) if he loses, he'll more likely sink into fringe-caseness than comeback-kidness
(b) will he even be *alive* in 2018, that's a whole other question.
Olivia Chow is a socialist. Toronto doesn't need a socialist mayor. It's too wealthy a city. Socialism would not work well here. We need a mayor with a balanced platform. Let's hope such a candidate emerges.
He has no reason to drop out. I think the first to exit will be someone who wouldn't want to risk losing their council seat by going all the way.

I want to see Josh Matlow enter the race. I don't care that he's a rookie councillor. But he probably won't. I will be very disappointed if he doesn't run 4 years from now.
Rob Ford is a difficult contender. He will surely win.
How about someone who understands and values both? Who care's what the world thinks?Olivia Chow is an Urbanist. RoFo is a Suburbanist. Etobicoke isn't recognized worldwide for its attributes, Downtown Toronto is...
