LOL. I'll give you that. Ford turned Smitherman's a little angry and crazy stance on it's head ... being very angry and borderline certifiable.Ford offered the most authentic delivery of the anti-Miller message.
I think its even more remarkable that Karen Stintz is this competitive, for the reason you mention but also due to the fact that her name recognition isn't nearly as strong as Tory or Chow. I'm sure Chow is happy to see a lot of potential candidates coming out from the centre-right. As MM said, she will likely be the flag bearer for the Left with little competition within her ideological camp.
How can Stintz be competitive. She took the TTC chair job to implement Ford's subway plan. Then she restored the Transit City plan. Then she brought out her OneCity plan with a subway to Scarborough. Then she voted for the Transit City LRT plan. Now she supports the subway up McCowan to Sheppard. The file she was given for the past 3 years has been completely bungled by her constant flip-flopping.
Her only chance for support comes from people who hate the other candidates. No one actually supports her.
He still lost to Chow in a hypothetical four-way race. Chow got 39 per cent, Ford 27 per cent, Tory 24 per cent, Stintz 5 per cent.
And Councillor Karen Stintz, the right-leaning TTC chair who has joined Chow in organizing behind the scenes, beat Ford 44 per cent to 40 per cent.
Maybe Robyn Doolittle will need October off, after a very busy September!
She's taking time off now and coming back mid-October. The timing is indeed a bit odd. Unless she's under the impression that there will be no major Ford news coming out until October?Maybe Robyn Doolittle will need October off, after a very busy September!
Sorry, when she said "next month" she meant the month that just started. She's off for September. TheStar's investigation into Rob Ford isn't being left unmanned -- I know of at least two others researching for the story -- but it's curious that she would take over a month off running through the expected public release of the Project Traveller warrants in two weeks from now.
