Ugh, some of what she says is good, and then she spoils it. Classic Stinz.

Rob Ford is “misogynistic, bigoted, homophobic,” mayoral candidate Karen Stintz told a gathering of businesswomen on Thursday.
Stintz’s words are the strongest used to date by any of Ford’s primary rivals, who have generally exercised caution in responding to the incumbent’s racial and anti-gay slurs and offensive comments about women. She uttered them soon after she spoke favourably of Ford’s policy record.
“I would say probably for the first two years, despite some of his missteps, he was probably, by and large, doing the job that people expected him to do,” Stintz said.
She offered praise for some of Ford’s fiscal accomplishments, such as outsourcing garbage collection and signing money-saving collective agreements with the municipal unions. She said those are also her accomplishments, since she supported the measures as a councillor.
“So I take some issue with the fact that Rob speaks as if he’s the only one with a record. Because I have that record too, but one thing I don’t have is a belief system that is misogynistic, bigoted, homophobic, rude. I don’t break the law on a regular basis. It’s true — once I was caught going through a stop sign on my bike.”
