Using a gimp promotion is tried and true in politics.

Well, John Tory apparently is a likeable fellow. He's educated, clean cut, well-spoken, has a terrific CV, etc. So what's informed and shaped his politics? Here's a person who endorsed both Fords in 2010 (with his words and cash), and well into Rob Ford's bumblefuck term as mayor was still sticking up for him on his radio program. I'm not implying for one moment that Tory is as bad as the Fords on a personal level (he's clearly not), but politics-wise? As Ari Goldkind said (good line!): He's a Ford in sheep's clothing.

A new poll from Mainstreet Technologies keeps Tory in lead with 38 per cent, Ford with 29 per cent & Chow at 22 per cent. #Toronto #cp24vote

Tory's up almost 20 points over Doug amongst the most likely to vote.

IIRC someone on Reddit was claiming Rob was kicked out of a polling station yesterday. He was. Guess he forgot the part about germs and chemo. What an idiot.

A large part of Chow's platform is that she can be a unifying factor and work with everyone. Even people she might not like. And she might be heeding the advice of the old saying,

"Why Olivia Chow is still in the mayor’s race:"
http://www.thestar.com/opinion/comm...chow_is_still_in_the_mayors_race_hepburn.html
"she could avoid the potential wrath of voters that might erupt if she stays in the race and Ford edges ahead of Tory to victory."
Mayor Rob Ford was asked to leave an advance polling station Thursday for illegally campaigning.

This guy will campaign if it's literally the last thing he does. He was probably shaking hands too. No selfies from the day's camping?

Paramedics come across the occasional celebrity in a "compromising" situation.
There is one in particular that I would like to share...but, I forget who it was!
Politicians must love celebrity endorsements.
Especially Doug, when he gets so few ( if any? ) endorsements.

The discrepancy interesting. Two nights ago both polls called me within 5 minutes(yes, I have a landline and answer it because I want to influence polls in however a small way). I voted for Olivia both times in the hopes of upping her numbers. Btw, Forum asked if I had a landline or a cell. Mainstreet also asked who I would vote for in my riding. I think it was Mainstreet that gave me "other" as a choice ( tempted to vote for Ari, but stuck to Olivia). I agree with others that poll results are iffy because of interpretation.

...so is Rob going to be an urban legend 100 years from now? If you chant subway 3 times in bathroom, will Rofo suddenly appear. Serious mode, either Rob is that desperate, no longer gives a shit, or maybe both. He's not even pretending anymore.

I honestly thought that RV of Doug's would be used to cart Rob around the campaign trail as a "special attraction".
Sometimes when I read Joe's column about the Fords I am reminded of Hachikō.

Stop that casita. You don't want to give them ideas. You know they read this thread.

Environmental Alliance and Elizabeth May For Chow
Olivia Chow was today endorsed by one of Canada’s leading environmentalists, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. When Olivia was an MP, Ms. May seconded her bill calling for a long-overdue national transit strategy.
The endorsement comes after the Toronto Environmental Alliance ranked Olivia’s platform as the greenest last week.
“I’ve worked for a cleaner environment my whole career, and worked with Elizabeth May in Parliament,†said Olivia. “I’m very grateful for her support and look forward to working with people across our city to make it greener. Not only does it make a city more liveable, it helps deal with extreme weather events that climate change will make more frequent.â€
