Seriously, Olivia Chow?!?! Y'all let us know how that turns out for you folks??? I swear, for a city that has some of the smartest and best educated people in the land. however, as an electorate you're collectively stupid! Keep Ford or convince John Tory to run for Mayor again, only way I'd vote for Olivia, is if her name was olivia munn.

I would vote for John Tory in a heart beat.

Back when he ran against Miller, I voted for Miller (I think because I didn't like Tory's well heeled upbringing more than anything.) Boy was I wrong. Miller was an unmitigated disaster.

I wish Tory would run, but unless Ford were to drop out, I don't think he could win. There are too many leftists in this city who think that the Government owes them a living.

she's as socialist as much as Rob Ford is a facist...
Canada is a socialst country - public healthcare, public education, public pension plan, etc. Canadians like to say they live in a 'free' country and that places like China are 'communist', but that's just brainwashed regurgitation.

If you can find a country without public health care, public education and public pension plan, at least you have the freedom to move there.

Oh really?

But of course your partial point doesn't make the argument you present - they paid market rent, and living in public housing while paying market rent is not playing the system in any way.
Not playing the system? Then, riddle me this... Why did they use the mother's name to register the apartment... and why did they not pay fair market value FROM the beginning? It was only after the story broke that they "topped up"...

Chinese citizens have the freedom to move out of China as well. What's your point?
My point is that there are no countries without public health, public education and public pensions. None you would want to live in, anyway..

They require government permission , otherwise they face some consequences , look it up it's called hukou
They can move about for business and leisure without telling anyone. They need to register for employment purposes if they want to move permanently. People do all the time.

......So why is it that the small yet vocal lefty minority (who feel that only their opinion matters) think that Olivia Chow is the savior of this city? David Miller was nothing but a duplicitous flop of a mayor who felt only he knew what was best for us and was simply trying to save us from ourselves. Olivia Chow's claim to fame is what???.... a few bike lanes and some feel-good by-laws that mean nothing, I almost forgot about riding on Jack Layton's coattail. I guess Adam Vaughan has less appeal than her, which is why they keep throwing her name about like some legend riding in on a white horse to save us all.....get over yourselves.

A turnip will beat Ford in the next election. May as well have one that speaks and can organize city council.

Olivia Chow....wow...I guess any wife who finds out that her husband goes to rub and tugs and still chooses to stay with him is either a very forgiving person, stupid, and/or no backbone. Since character assasination is what the left is all about I guess this is a fair statement to judge her on.
The subsidized housing fiasco is another biggie regarding character...ONLY when caught did she start topping up the balance. If never caught I think it is reasonably assumable that they would have continued taking the taxpayers for a ride while living on someone elses dime. Cant say that I respect that trait enough to ever vote for the individual. If she has shown such disregard for taxpayer money in the past why oh why would she start doing so in the future...not to mention the deceitful behaviour??
Onto politics, she will turn around the fiscally responsible nature of the Ford regime and start spending like a drunken sailor in order to gain favour with voters who are so near-sighted that they dont give a shit about deficits and resulting debt. IMO it will be a very sad event if Ms Chow gets elected Mayor of Toronto.

Im doubtful she will run.

Rob Ford and the Ford nation machine has a near lock on the next election.
