Who will you vote for in 2014 Toronto mayoral election??
- Thread starter AK-47
- Start date
True, not having a leader would probably get the right transit in place as well. Maybe we should leave planning to the planners and not be guided by morons drawing fantasy subway lines and jerking off to giant ferris wheels or NFL stadiums.
I give you Charles Huang. He's probably worse than Rob Ford.
Enjoy. Please send thanks and well wishes to my inbox.

Doug Ford won't get any funding from Kathleen Wynne that's for sure. After what he said about her in the media. First Doug has to recognize and acknowledge her as an elected official, if he can't do that then forget being Mayor Of Toronto.
What are each of the mayoral candidates positions on the adult industry?
It's not usually a topic of conversation, so I have no idea!
Pretty much!I saw this on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I think it sums up the general mood of most people on here (and probably most of Toronto as well):
You need another polling option: "can't".
I live in a city that doesn't have a buffoon for a mayor (there are a few cities out there), so I don't get to participate in your circus.
Your mayor should be someone with a vision, someone who can articulate that vision without buffoonery, bullying or bluster, and can persuade a majority of their council colleagues to buy into that vision. These people do exist - look at Calgary for one example.
Toronto is supposedly a world-class city. You would think/hope its citizenry would have higher expectations of their civic leaders. Now is a good time to raise that bar.

I agree with you in that Tory can be somewhat spineless at times. But in order for a city to function you need compromise and broad based solutions. Doug Ford is just an angry guy and it would lead to 4 more years of bickering, hostility and a dysfunctional council. We're tired of that.
Surprised Doug Ford's lingerie football star daughter isn't running for anything. She looks like a good fuck but she's certainly not the best looking daughter.
I wonder how many people will actually vote for him. There are a lot of 'fringe' candidates in this election. Reading some plans is a good way to get laughs.
You mean more than it is now under Ford? Is that possible? He's turned Toronto into a laughing stock and his brother is a bully just like he is. He won't get any co-operation from Council either.
What has Tory stolen in the past? Just because dog and his sick bro say things it doesn't make them true.
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Cow resigned a perfectly good MP seat in Ottawa to run for mayor of Toronto. If Jack were alive she would still be Ottawa.
She seems to be a total dimwit, I find it a real head-scratcher that she has been elected 10 times.
OCd has run a lame ass campaign and has only the support of the die hard left. She will loose the election, collect her federal and muni pensions and still live in a subsidized building at St. George and College.
Good country this Canada!

What I find most interesting about this thread is even with the small sample size the results still match with the recent general polls posted in the media.
Screw that, I wish he had run for Ontario Premier, he is the one of the provincial Liberal mafia with a brain.
This is another race like the Ontario election, where it is a question of picking the least bad. Least bad is either Tory or Chow, depending on your political leanings, and my sense is that most people lean more to the right or center right than the left -- so it'll be Tory.
While there are certainly lots of ways to criticize either Tory or Chow, they are not liars or bullies with a history of dealing drugs and proposing cockamanie, disastrous policies. We also don't need any more transit cancellations, we need someone somewhere to finally do something -- what I like most about Tory is that he's mostly going to stay the course, do the the stuff that is already in flight, instead of trying to score political points by cancelling it for a photo op that in reality will cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars.
Whatever you think of the current transit plans, from the in flight LRT projects, to the in flight subway project, the decisions have been made and cancelling ANYTHING now will be a huge mistake. Whichever might have been the best decision in the past, the best decision now is to follow through and deliver on what was started. I don't much like the subway in scarborough, and you probably don't much like the LRT's, but in both cases we're committed now and cancelling will cost far more than the relative merits of one solution over another.
Tory will be a boring manager who will just get a lot of stuff done and settle the city's affairs in a way that will allow for hopefully a more visionary candidate to come along in 4 years and build on something, instead of tearing down the last guy's stuff.
