I'm of the opinion the Council speaker should be appointed as an unelected member with no voting power. My thought would be to take 4 to 6 respected ex-members of Council and rotate them. I'm thinking of people such as John Parker (if not reelected), Doug Holyday, David Johnson, Case Ootes...

Do you suggest same of George Cohon and Bernie Shouldice? When was Tory ever on the same page as Hillier? I would suggest never.... Stop with the dead horse routine re Ford...who else would Tory have contributed to or are you suggesting he not have contributed at all to anyone in 2010?

For all of UT's like of Parker, if for only his handling of the Deputy Speaker position, that doesn't resonate with the rank and file Ward 26 Parker is not a force in Flemingdon or Thorncliffe, his influence on the Wynford side is minimal, those of Leaside have found him wanting not only on the...

How has shouting from outside worked in Toronto? I my opinion not very. Tory has it right working from the inside out. There is fulcrum at this specific point in Toronto history where a seachange will happen given the demographics of the City. This fulcrum was not there twenty or even ten years...

Only some?

Must frost Sarah Doucette, eh?

Not sure if that was "ranking", just ennumerating options based on "high performers" or the ease of implemenation It would be much easier to integrate say TTC buses at GO stations (1) or modify stopping patterns at GO train stations (2) than do an EA for a relief line (3) Danforth Go shuttle...

With Tory endorsing Burnside, I would suggest Parker has kissed his municipal career goodbye.... and in the same vane I would think that Carmichael-Greb is now the one to beat in Ward 16....

I maybe reading off a totally different songsheet nevertheless I believe it was strategic move by Tory....Purposely to put Chow and Ford one on one. He couldn't have picked a better debate to stay away from. This one was right in Chow's wheelhouse, she knows the facts, she has the compassion...

It all goes back to the Toronto Life article..and Tory's meeting with the Ford Family....paraphasing Mrs Fors telling Tory "you can be mayor for a couple of turns then it is Robbies turn"...I would suggest that was more delusions of grandeur than anything prescient....

Did Tory even accept an invitation to the debate? If you go to the Acorn page it just says a "mayoral debate" it does not say who the debaters will be. There was a debate July 27th re the homeless discussing the same issues that were discussed last night. Does rehashing positions promulgate any...

Well, Port Union is an extension of Sheppard....maybe the thought is to extend the subway all the way to the Rouge Hill Go station to simplify commuting for the Durhamites.....

Short definition Part A....Refers to the classifcation of families into married couples (with or without children of either and/or both spouses), common-law couples (with or without.....both partners) and lone parent families by sex of parent... In other words.....All Families

Because I believe the cut-off is less than $100K? In that poll above, 24% said $75K and 7% said $60K. That's 31% that agree with me that it's less than $100K. That suggests to me I'm not off the deep end. From Statcan median total family income (all census families) Toronto census area...

Rather than arguing what the cost of living is in Toronto, why not go to a site that outlines it google www.numbeo.com Cost of living Toronto Required average disposal income after tax 3,383.11 per month...I would suggest per earner although it is not specified
