Re-read all of No Vacancy's comments about bike lanes and replace "bike lanes" with "sidewalks" for a laugh.

Sidewalks intersect with vehicle traffic!

Pedestrians weave in and out of traffic!

You can only walk a few months of the year!

Walking is biased towards young men!

Sidewalks take up too much space!

You shouldn't walk on Bloor street! It's too dangerous!

Walking is evil!
 
Kind of stupid that Tory would support Bailiao AFTER advanced polling has already taken place.
And yet people have been predicting that it was likely to happen and that the Bailão campaign would have been working on extracting the endorsement. What baffles me is that he has the effrontery to say that she will fix things without mentioning who left them (rather abruptly) in the condition they are in. I would have expected a skilled politician to suggest that his successor would build on his progress. But so many of the people campaigning against Chow appear to think that I will believe that she is somehow to blame for the decline of services and safety in the city in the last 13 years when she hasn't been on city council since 2005.
 
Good. No one will miss them.
You sound like a bigot.
Good. Investor landlords are predatory hoarders. Every unit they don't own is a unit someone can buy to live in rather than leach off of tenants.

Ignorant bigot. If an investor landlord owns an apartment building that cannot be sold off as individual units, who exactly is he hoarding the building from?
Yes really, are you for real or are you just playing a mustache twirling villain for fun?

Ad hominem attacks are lame.
 
... Bike lanes shuld be relegated to side streeets.
... Cyclists need to get places, because that’s what cycling is for. Sometimes that requires major roads rather than side streets that go nowhere...
I'm not sure why something that obvious should need to be explained, but yes, the major streets are the ones that go across things like rail corridors, river valleys, and creek ravines. Most side/residential streets don't, making the notion of putting bike lanes there quite silly.

"Everyone who takes issue with me is a bigot! Wah!"

And coming home from work today and seeing this thread derailed by several pages of argument with you--y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if you follow Fresco in the temporary-vacation realm sooner rather than later...
 
New Mainstreet poll has Bailao gaining traction. It was conducted yesterday, after Tory's endorsement.

Chow - 30%
Bailao - 22%
Furey - 13%
Saunders - 12%
Matlow - 9%
Hunter - 5%
Brown - 2%
Bradford - 2%


Also a new poll from Viewpoints. I'm unsure if it was polled before or after the Tory endorsement.

Chow - 35%
Saunders - 16%
Bailao - 12%
Furey - 10%
Matlow - 10%
Bradford - 8%
Hunter - 6%

Mainstreet is always the outlier to the high side for Bailao; we'll have to see how accurate they are/were. But their numbers have tended to run about 8 points higher for her than the field consensus.

Which would suggest a number closer to 14%

Before, they were in the field June 19th.
