You don’t have to sound like a native speaker of whatever language, but you can at least make an effort. Most people are willing to help with pronunciation and appreciate the effort.

New Mainstreet: Chow 34, Bailao 25, Saunders 11, Furey 10, Matlow 7, Hunter 5, Brown 2, Bradford a Jakobek-esque 1. So Mainstreet's digging in on Bailao's behalf--yet Chow's margin increased 1 point.
And new Forum Research: Chow 29 (down 3), Bailao 20 (up 7), Saunders 15, Furey 11, Matlow 8, Hunter 5, Bradford 3. So now it isn't just Mainstreet showing a Bailao surge.
Getting the endorsement of Tory and The Toronto Star may influence some people.I don’t really believe in this Bailao bump. Her campaign has been singularly bland and uninspiring and who’s really paying attention re endorsements?

Re the bump: "bland works"--it's how Eggleton won vs Sewell in '80. And better "bland and uninspiring" as an antidote to vewwy vewwy scawwy opponents.I don’t really believe in this Bailao bump. Her campaign has been singularly bland and uninspiring and who’s really paying attention re endorsements?
I find personally that Bailao is the continuity candidate, and there's no real difference between her and Tory's platform, besides Tory not being on the ticket.Re the bump: "bland works"--it's how Eggleton won vs Sewell in '80. And better "bland and uninspiring" as an antidote to vewwy vewwy scawwy opponents.
But re bland *not* working: it's why she's still way behind Chow.

I love 4A few thoughts:
1. If Ford kept his ego in check, an endorsement by him for Bailao, the lesser of two evils versus Chow, over his preferred candidate Saunders, may have been enough to consolidate the anti-Chow vote.
2. At this point, I suspect Chow will have enough steam to win based on the enthusiasm of her base and her probable big margins in advance voting.
3. There will be significant party machine “Get Out The Vote” operations tomorrow. My NDP-affiliated council staffer friend is working on Chow’s campaign 9 to 9 tomorrow, and I expect Liberals will be mostly working for Bailao, and Conservatives will pull the vote for Saunders.
4. Does Gong get more votes than Bradford? That’s the big question.
