Wrong again! She's an NDPer. Who cares about Obama, but I re-iterate that Ford isn't a Fascist like you say.
Olivia Chow...Mayor?

Was it a flaw in the screening process that they took advantage of, or did they understate their earnings? This couldn't just be a perception issue. Did the correct retroactively?
He was a much better councillor than Chow was although she didn't set a particularly high standard. At least he didn't take up a subsidized housing space that could have been used for someone that needed it - regardless of whether she and Jack paid a little extra (that is a really tired excuse/rationalization BTW Art).
Yeah, that's not a brilliant idea..
You're telling me there are only two ways to view any particular issue?
no elmo made a comparasion... i responded by saying if shes a socialsit, then by his rationale , Ford is a fascist... im sorry has olivia chow directly dictate her policies from Karl Marx and Lenin? no ... and Ford isn't Mussolini.. nuff said..
exactly... all the righties LOVE splitting between, the God sent Conservatives, and the evil lefties who jerk off to communist literature and just want bikes on the road, everywhere.... pretty stupid
No, I'm saying there is too much vote splitting...it hasn't served Toronto very well in the past few Mayors...
Wrong...you said she is a liberal, I disagree as she is clearly much left of Liberal.
The fact that you're considering it "splitting" is nuts.. And actually typical of Ford Nation (or alternatively Adam Vaughan's camp... whatever they're called.).. "You're either with us or against us" sorta mentality.. It's a shame.
Carling, it's okay to say that Olivia Chow is a socialist. That's not the same as calling Ford a Fascist IMHO. (To some degree, us Canadians are all socialists).
Vote splitting IS a fact of life. Nunziata spoiled it for Tory. City counsel has always been a dichotomy of left vs right leaning politicians.
It's worse than that.
In the last 20 years even Rome, YES ROME, has built more subway lines than Toronto. And this is a city where the archeological crew is as big as the excavation crew. You can now go from The Vatican to Cinecitta in under 40 minutes.
I think it was said with tongue firmly in cheek. (But that might actually be a reason to vote for her! Peking duck is delicious!)
(Disclaimer: ALSO said with tongue planted firmly in cheek, although I love peking duck, I still couldn't bring myself to vote for her... it would be cheaper to buy my own ducks!)
There is typically a left, right and middle in the political spectrum. Splitting is where several candidates from the same spectrum are vying for the vote, thereby diluting that spectrum and allowing one with fewer candidates to squeak through...it's not nuts, it's fact and has nothing to do with "Ford Nation".
Can we do worse than what we got now? We have a swaggering aft slob that is more likely to eat your Peking duck and all of your chow mien.
EXCELLENT POINT! And well made too!
(I guess you could say I want my duck and eat it too!)
