Has Tory endorsed anyone in Etobicoke? I'm interested in Ward 2, he did choose Holyday as his Deputy Mayor for the region, but they did disagree quite a bit toward the end of the term. Campbell is much more like Tor - centre-right (and socially progressive).

The ONDP vote in York South Weston actually went down in the June 2018 compared to the last election, despite them winning the riding this time. They did better when Andrea ran as the more anti-downtown elite (ie. Wynne) in the 2014 election. It's more of a blue collar labour-left, rough around...

(Almost) using the notwithstanding clause on a simple election issue, I think is one thing. The intellectual/fiscal conservatives of the Kingsway definitely were not happy with that.

Next time you want to put blame on all of Etobicoke for Ford, remember he would have only won 1 Etobicoke ward, compared to all 5 Scarborough wards.

I would not want to live on The East Mall. It is used has an alternative to 427 when it gets busy, with cars flying at 90km+. Retail and a more urban built form might help stop some of that (with more stops/lights).

To my knowledge these lists are not yet available using the 2016 numbers. Regardless, even using the city's projected numbers, the consultants for the Draw the Lines 2018 Ward Redistribution said they would not consider the Provincial riding boundaries precisely because "[t]his arrangement...

It does not. In fact the west end of Toronto is hurt the most by the reduction, in terms of voter parity. The largest wards in the city become the three Etobicoke ridings and York South Weston. Not the case using the last census data - The four largest Wards (ridings) based on population are...

To each their own. It's a much more affordable option than Scaddabush and more independent-owned Italian restaurants. I enjoy their garden salad dressing.

The leading Liberal (and overall progressive) candidate seems to be current TDSB trustee Pamela Gough. It's a little late now, and if he entered he would allow Grimes to come up the middle and win.

Justin DiCiano's chief of staff Mary Campbell is running in Ward 3 against DiCiano's buddy Grimes.

For rent? Four years ago I rented a new 2 bedroom condo on the subway line for $1800. The following year (3 years ago), I moved into a new-build one bedroom (about 580 sq ft) condo (no longer on the subway) for $1200. In the three years since then, those prices have gone up by about 60-70%+...

It was affordable 4 years ago. Not a few decades ago.

The average joe doesn't really consider left/right or progressive/conservative when re-electing especially municipal politicians. I think the question most asked is "Is John Tory doing a good job?" rather than "Does John Tory align with my political ideology?".

One thing I've noticed in some discussions I've had is that people seem to think (either from their own logic or from what their councillors are telling them) is that this benefits Etobicoke - which is not the case. The reason this option was not entertained during the Draw The Lines - Toronto...

Just wish they were using another colour. The track looks like it's the same colour as the Behemoth.

I think it's interesting, we don't blame Mississauga for wanting a 1.4 Billion + LRT, or vilify people/politicians from Mississauga for pushing for that before downtown Toronto gets a relief line. It's unfortunate that Scarborough "happens" to be in a a city where colossal exponential growth...

The problem is that when any other municipality in the country wants something (new arena, transit, infrastructure), they fight for funding, they approve things they want. That's how municipalities work - you approve things when you 'want' them. How does that not make sense? If Scarborough...

I'm not sure exactly why PEI has 4 ridings. But it is very tough to take something away, particularly when it's not an area's fault. It's not Northern Ontario's fault, for example, that other areas of the province grew at such rapid and exponential rates. If you have a relatively stable...

Any news on Doucette/Perks running against each other? Doucette won by a larger plurality last time. Also can't picture Perks doing a good job representing the community in South Swansea which is full of suburban style high rise/town homes along the Queensway/Lake Shore.

Brought on by herself. When the suburbs wanted transit or better urban built form, she did nothing. Even progressives in the burbs won't be voting for her.
