Well, Rob did smoke a lot more weed than Tory and that would explain the "vision".

But seriously, Toronto is the fastest growing, most transformed city in North America. Someone has to be overseeing that growth!

Tory scolded Chow during the mayoral campaign because she didn't give a straight answer on contracting out the other half of the city's garbage collection. She then asked him what his plan was and he said he would contract it out.
Lie.
Campaigned on increasing property tax at the rate of inflation. Then introduces a new tax which collectively blows past the rate of inflation.
Lie.
Has done nothing about transit that wasn't already in the works, and has snarled traffic with more and more bike lanes.
Toronto Community Housing is still a mess.

But he talks nicely and looks ok so I guess that's what a lot of people put more importance on.

1) Patrick Brown speaks fluent French. There were some rumors before he got married (to a woman) that he was gay. So yes, he would probably march in the Gay Parade. It's unbelievable that the most important issue in voters' minds is whether their PM march or doesn't march in a gay parade.

2) Some/many people who enter politics take a pay cut. Allan Rock was a Bay Street lawyer making the equivalent of $600,000 in 2019 dollars when he entered politics.

Not everybody has a rich grandfather like Trudeau or a rich father like Trump. I think Schere comes from a family of modest means and needed money to fund his kids' education. BTW: Those funds came from private sources so he was not sucking on the public purse costing taxpayers paying teachers $92,000, rich benefits and a Cadillac pension plan.

It would be terrible if only rich people can afford to enter politics and run for PM.

3) "Friends of Trudeau" paid for Trudeau Senior's swimming pool.

Harper apparently "outraged" over Scheer's using donor funds for his kids religious schooling! (Yeah right!)

CPC also fires executive director of funding as a scapegoat for Scheer's use of donor funds.
