More serious mode, I caught the last half of this debate online. I thought Chow was doing ok until she did this, not spectacular but ok. She has a creative arts background, she knows the difficulties of being in an often unappreciated, little understood or cared by most people, understands the arts is actually a very competitive field, and she's got arts cred in an obvious art friendly venue. She also knows, or I hoped she knows that artists can often be unfairly I think, stereotyped for being too "artsy fartsy out there" and can't be taken seriously. (Think of a bad stereotype of a post modern artist whose work consists of a single spoon on top of a cardboard box, with the title "And Thus Spake Schroedinger photonic movement #9")
So why she did this "art piece" in the debate, I'm kinda gobsmacked. Chow seems to be fighting on multiple fronts in this campaign, including herself. That is not beneficial for her IMO.
Must say: If someone had told me 60 days ago that the humane, conscientious (but not perfect - are you perfect?) individual who goes by the name of Olivia Chow would be in third place and falling I would have replied: "C'mon. Who told you that? Nick Kouvalis? Doug Ford?"
If you had told me 60 days ago that Doug Ford was running for mayor, I would have said "C'mon what you bin smokin'?".
Or it would have been Kouvalis.
So, Doug suddenly likes this whole debate thing...
Does everything *look* psychologically tickety-boo over at Doug's house?
Me, I say no. They creep me out. YMMV.
If, as there seems to be an implication of by Jude, that there is some story coming of Doug's fat fingers in the cookie jar, and he had to drop out, or did something in response that was typically Ford-stupid, making his poll results visibly and quickly plummet, would there be an increase in votes for Chow, do you think, or would Johnboy get them all?

Some Tory votes could go back to Olivia, since they're no longer scared of a Ford winning, but probably not enough. Ford Nation will largely stay home, except for some who will stubbornly come out to mark the ballot for Doug (his name will be on it now, regardless of any drop-out announcement).
