As I said, "so-called". (And I had a problem with the term much like yours--indeed, of those now running, the ones being positioned with the most "WASP appeal" might be Rossi and Thomson.)

Rossi is Italian background ... so he's certainly not a WASP.
I don't think that any of the candidates fit the white male anglo-saxon protestant straight non-immigrant category.
Though neither have any of our mayors who have wone an at least 20 years.
Not that it matters ...

Actually, a proper WASP--I can use this word since I am one--mayoral candidate, would, ironically considering Adma's position, be some guy we know as David Miller; or that other Old School Leftie people love: Adam Vaughan.
Now, who will the Jews, Chinese, East Indians, Wops etc vote for?
(Btw, want to see a proper old school Wasp? Have dinner with Rossi's wife.

He certainly would be ... though like many proper WASPs ... he is an immigrant.

The last person to fit that category is the lefty-independent John Sewell, who grew up in the Beaches and the son of a lawyer. I believe his family was Baptist!

Whoever they want to be Mayor. There are no ethnic voting blocs at the municipal level as far as I can tell.

The municipal election will come and go and the champagne socialists will retain power. The Liberal Party of Ontario will mobilize with feet on the ground and grease money to make sure Dalton's "boy" gets the mayor's job. As for the rest ofthe parasitic dead wood on council, they have the taxpayer funded budgets to guarantee re-election forever and union support. Toronto is a city with terminal cancer. All you can do is sit back and watch.
Hard to believe that a city so big can only produce this crop of fat cats. But when people can get in based on charisma, sexuality, race, money... it doesn't leave a lot of room for ability, dedication or integrity.

What on earth is a champagne socialist? Where on earth do you get this stuff?
Please, speak English!!
So weight is a criteria for a mayor. The fattest cat on council is Ford ... I guess he is disqualified then.

He's probably the richest too, thanks to his daddy. Talk about a fat cat with a big, silver spoon to stuff his pampered mouth.

You know damn well what the term means. You also know what "fat cat" means as well. Thanks for once again living up to my expectations to turn something heartfelt and meaningful into another opportunity to make fun of the obese and overweight communities of Toronto. You, who would probably go into hysterics if someone said something derisive about Smitherman via using a gay slur. I wasn't excluding Ford from my critique/assessment of the race so far by the way, none of the candidates are particularly great. Only one has any credibility as far as fiscal restraint and public accountability goes however.

A champaigne socialist is a socialist (ie obama) who gets drunk and mouths off (ie mel gibson). Rob Ford is the only man who can save this city from such nonsense. And I don't think its very becoming that a left wing like yourself can make fun of rob ford's weight, because if it was up to you, food would be distributed equally through a communist marxist nazi and then Ford would'nt have enough food to get fat!!
P.S. just in case you think I don't know what I'm talking about I hope you know I once had lunch with the former secretary of defense and I was an assistant casting director on a little reality tv series called Joe Millionaire 2. I think I know a thing or two about what I'm talking about!

What sour grapes.
It's incredibly pathetic of you to attack anyone and everyone because you can't get what you want, or successfully promote your specific belief in Rob Ford.
You can sit back and watch all you want. It's typical of armchair politicians such yourself. If you seriously believed that the city has "terminal cancer" you'd try and do something about it. Instead, you're whining about being so upset that your favourite "dead wood" city councillor may not get his chance to say no to everything from the mayor's chair.

Seriously man. What drugs are you on? Communist Marxist Nazi? what the hell is that?
There's a difference between Socialism, Communism, Marxism and Fascism retard. Stop reading the 50 cent newspaper and open up some books.

Look I don't know who you think you are, but I'm a member of Mensa which means I am in the top 3% percentile for IQ in the country. I can bench press, squat, and leg press a combined 1200 lbs and I live in a 31 story high rise the ritziest part of town (Brampton) so if you think you want to mess with me you better think again.

In hindsight I shouldn't have used a derogatory reference towards the metally handicapped. However, I'm not apologizing to you in any way. Just to the other members of this foum whom I may have insulted. My apologies to those whom I may have offended.
