Very unfortunate.
Adverse to democracy.
As the suspect is known, I hope an arrest will be made with all due haste and the event rescheduled.

Only because he's carrying on the family brand. And much more blatantly in his case than in that of Mike Layton.Holyday is in year 9 (seems like longer)
You have to remember the change to 25 councillors at the insistence of the province, there is a lot of work to do at the local level. Councillors can NOT stop developments. They can NOT control healthcare in their regions. They do NOT set education policy or structures. They are supposed to set municipal policy but it is limited. When Tory was first elected he said he wanted to deal with term limits and mayoral accountability. When Trudeau was elected he said he wanted to sort out the senate. Neither carbuncle has been dealt with and indeed both continue to fester! This is politics at it's most stagnant. It's not just young people who recognize things don't work. Our administrative structure is colonial on steriods, it is not meant to address the issues of a modern urban landscape. Development, immigration, infrastructure, economic development - they are all managed by other governments, so what is Toronto to do? my guess is continue to tread water, nothing to see here, move along.....Just a thought for all you peeps to ponder. Do any of you think it’s time for a whole new generation at city hall? Everyone seems so stuck on old ideas that no longer work. I’m pretty disillusioned with the legacy hangers-on in power, and entrenched bureaucracies - silos, as someone wisely called them, earlier up.
There’s been a massive change in the demographics of Toronto and I’d love to find out what is on the minds of young people with regard to our future.
So he's got the Tina Turner RIP vote? ;-)In lighter news this election is turning out to be a Gong show.
He's been arrested (but probably out on bail already)Police are looking for this thug.

A run down of Ana Bailao's meeting with the Star editorial board:
Why Ana Bailão claims she is ‘the only alternative’ to election front-runner Olivia Chow
In a meeting with the Star’s editorial board, Bailão, an ally of John Tory, described herself as a negotiator who understands working family fears.www.thestar.com
Bailao's key message - that she's the only candidate to defeat Chow - coinciding with the release of the Mainstreet poll that has her second, is probably not a coincidence. Kouvalis is working his magic.
I just received my 2nd half 2023 tax bill. Up more than 12% from earlier this year. I’m okay with that, provided we clear Allan Gardens. Provide housing, send in the boots, either or, do something.
