FWIW, I was very much an anti-Ford vote, and I would have voted for Chow or Tory or a lamp, depending on who was leading in the last polls.
I'm still gobsmacked by (a) right-leaning posters who call Ford 'centre-right' and have a scorched earth policy towards Chow and (b) left-leaning posters who wouldn't vote for the devil John Tory, 'cause, you know, horns. And he's just Ford in sheep's clothing.
I'm hoping that, outside of our little sandbox/hothouse, both sides are much more reasonable in their opinions and it's just part of the forum/anonymity thing.
This. Exactly this. I still don't get the comments that equate Tory with Ford, in this forum or others. It's not even close.
Either some don't know the difference between right and centre-right or they just don't know how far to the left they actually are.
On the left, Chow is a little too far to the left for my tastes, but I'd have no issues voting for her if I had to (say there was a strong mayor system).
