Who or what is NF? National Front?
Why hasn't James Sears been endorsed yet by this Facebook blog?

 

[WislaHD]

So according to that FB blog, if you are a bad candidate, you get an endorsement?

43 Down's (an NF facebook blog) up to date choices for Councillor replacements or endorsement

Ward 20 Reg Hartt

Whaaaaat hahaha. Is this just another one of his sad attempts at a funny "Recommend a person to split the vote" endorsements like Richard Underhill and Morgan Baskin?

Morgan Baskin is somewhat defending Mikey, mostly from the people who are using his age as a criticism.

Reg Hartt supported Rob Ford back in 2010. I'm not sure where he stands re: His Worship this time around though.

This Now article gives his reasons why. I find this quote particularly hilarious (in that typically unintentional Reg Hartt way):

He says he always knew Ford was going to win the election and continues to support the win, “Ford is the embodiment of Jane Jacobs and I supported her, she was a friend, she was a fan, and I think Ford is a really good guy and I fully support his office.”

Reg Hartt's *not* endorsing Ford this time--but Flagg's endorsing Hartt anyway.

Interesting, too, the silly exclamation-marking of endorsed candidates on that page....

Some suprises on the incumbent side...

And what is Karygiannis doing on the list?

Karygiannis quit his federal seat (was my parents MP) to focus on municipal politics.

Sorry, I guess, I wasn't clear...I meant as a long serving Liberal MP reducing money spent is the antithesis of his reason to be....

LOL, wtf

Accusations of plagiarism fly as councillor websites show eerie similarity
Ward 41 candidate Sandeep Srivastava’s website appears to have a lot in common with several others.
.....
The Star’s review of Srivastava’s website found several passages that appeared to be copied and pasted from at least four other councillors’ websites. In some cases, the same passage appeared on three separate websites. Srivastava denied copying Colterman’s website. He did not immediately respond to allegations of further plagiarism....
