I agree.
I see Toronto's Paramedics are still issued the same PPE we wore during SARS. Made by Bounty. The quicker Ebola picker upper. Not much better than wearing a paper towel.
I've listened and watched many of the debates, because I am interested in how the candidates - now narrowed down to Ms Chow, Mr Ford and Mr Tory - would react to the stress of being in command - minute by minute - during a disaster.
The first elected leader I served under was Mel Lastman. I've got to admit, I wasn't impressed by the way he handled SARS. I had complete faith in Mayor Miller, and thankfully was retired by the time RoFo got in.
Any thoughts about which of the three leading candidates could best handle a disaster?

This from before the RoDoFo switcheroo. It's a bit dated, but I think still relevant as we come down to the wire.
"Toronto mayoral candidate Olivia Chow is the only person on the planet right now who can ensure Mayor Rob Ford is not re-elected."

"What a struggle it must be for Chow to confront the option of dropping out, but if her main goal is to get rid of Ford, she could do that right here, right now."
