    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    She did answer the question, according to Twitter, although I can't find the quote right now.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    The transfer, if the feds and province agree, would probably bring in about as much at Stintz's "plan" to sell or lease Hydro -- something over a billion, or about 10% of conservative estimates. So it would be useful but nowhere near enough. I can wait a while to see if Chow offers stronger...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    I'll be linking to Neville Park's brief explanation of co-op housing whenever possible. I don't know how many minds it will change, but it may help with some of the non-rabid fence sitters.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    I'm not thrilled with her lukewarm support for the DRL (note she's talking about concern for property taxes versus other "revenue tools" rather than rejecting it outright) but supporting the Scarborough LRT means that we won't waste city (and provincial, and federal) money on two extra subway...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Co-ops are subsidized and provide a certain number of subsidized units. They often have units that are charged at market value. It's mixed housing, not [globally] subsidized housing. My contempt for Stintz continues to grow like a mutant sunflower.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    I think he's made the DRL (he calls it the commuter relief line) a high priority: https://twitter.com/GraphicMatt/status/439196224240254977 and http://torontoist.com/2014/03/mayoral-candidates-rally-around-the-downtown-relief-line/ but it's not explicitly addressed in his policy statements yet...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    1. Chow: Decent record, fingers crossed for a solid platform. 2. Soknacki: Who knew I would like a "fiscal conservative" so much? ... 37. Tory: My ALL HOPE IS LOST, GRAB WHAT YOU CAN choice. If October rolls around and Chow has tanked, Soknacki hasn't caught up, and Ford looks likely to win...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Does "not easy to pull off" include a Scarborough LRT? Or do we have to wait until Thursday to find out?

    Why Tory and not Soknacki?

    Thanks, mods, for the thread clean-up, although you might have rubbed a little too hard on the last day of posts :-) Oh, well. At least it wasn't a huge news day. A couple of useful links about the new search warrants: Globe & Mail: Note how worried Lisi's lawyer seems. Kevin Donovan at The...

    "Of late"? The behatted one was a born hack and sycophant.

    Daniel Dale tweets: "Kimmel said Ford left "right away, mad." He's now playing the video of Ford's scrum at city hall today."

    The Star says "plot", Doug says "conspiracy". There are no knives at this gunfight.

    I saw a Ford supporter make a similar argument tonight. Doug may be taking notes right now.

    In addition, the storyline in many places today was "Montreal mayors criticize Ford", then Ford's response to the criticism. He gets to play victim AGAIN, while there was a lot less media attention, outside of Twitter, at his attempt to skive off early to see the stadium site. I think Nenshi...

    The front page of tomorrow's Star. Headline: "Blair says Lisi told police of Doug Ford plot." "Plot" is a pretty strong word. I guess the editors and the lawyers think it will hold up.
