Its too bad we can't pick and choose each of the candidate's platforms, instead of only one candidate and that candidate's platform.
What Liberal/centrist/moderate?
John Tory is a conservative. Heck, he's the former party leader. He's neither centrist nor Liberal.
I'm centrist ... typically voting Liberal, sometimes NDP, sometimes Green, and occasionally even PC. John Tory isn't centrist. The guy wants Toronto to institute fines for pan-handling. Does that sound centrist? Does supporting Rob Ford in the last election sound centrist?
If only we had a Liberal/centrist candidate ...
Though how this would elect Ford I don't know. There hasn't been a poll yet that shows Ford anywhere close to Tory (that Forum poll the other day where they normalized the data to cover the lack of data in the 18-34 range doesn't count ... look at the raw numbers ... it was Tory 47% to Ford 33% before they "fixed" it.
If you been convinced you have to vote for a Conservative like Tory to keep out Ford, then you fallen for the right wing trickery.
Quoting myself to updateApparently Olivia Chow is about to make a statement about the Island Airport. TV crews are setting up at Little Norway Park just outside the airport. (I'm sure it won't be anything surprising, Chow's stance on the airport is well known)

She made a statement that John Tory is in a conflict of interest position with regards to the airport
Doesn't seem to have been reported by any media. They must be saving their energy for whatever crap Doug thinks of dropping on us. That stuff is always guaranteed top shelf.
Not as half as funny as Tory promoting the Smart Track as a DRL, and then later saying we need a DRL as well, and then being very unclear about the whole thing.I find it funny that at the outset Olivia said the DRL shouldn't even be an election issue and wouldn't commit to it, but now she's running on it being her top priority in todays debate.
More straw grasping.

Breakfast programs, more community support for disadvantaged youth. Probably been her area of focus her entire career. It's necessary work, but you decide if it's substantial enough scope for the mayor of a city growing as crazy as Toronto.I wonder what it is that Olivia Chow really wants to do.
Has anyone on this thread actually participated in a poll? Do you have a land line? I got a call from a polling company I'd never heard of - "Canadian Research Institute" or something like that, and actually went through the poll on principle. It took six and a half minutes to go through the whole thing! It's no wonder that they are inaccurate! How many people have the inclination to sit through those things?
FWIW, the few people I know who voted for Ford in 10 quickly regretted it. To them, he was the best of a bad bunch. And yes, they were relatively right of centre.
