She famously took some sort of public speaking course (on the taxpayer dime, IIRC) shortly after getting elected. I think this is the result.
I liked her well enough until the Scarborough flip flop. Even in Crazy Town there's a bit about how she knew, after the first meeting with Rob and Doug, their transit plan was insane. But she carried their water until she pulled the cord, and then enabled them with the Scarborough reversal. It's unforgiveable as far as I'm concerned, not just because of the specific incident but because it showed a real lack of principles. I feel the same about Glen De Baeremaker.
I also think there is pandering there, her "ordinary mom" stuff and her talk tonight about "kitchen table finances," or whatever it was. It's all plenty enough to convince me she's not worthy of being mayor though, in a pinch, I'd certainly take her over Ford. She pales in comparison to the others.
Yes, she saved the Eglinton transit line from being scraped completely by Ford, and I'm grateful for that.
She's fine as a councillor, but yeah the Scarborough transit stuff was when I started to dislike her.
OK I'll say this right now: I haven't decided who to vote for yet but probably Tory or Chow, however, I would vote for ANYBODY including Stintz and the Ikea Monkey in order to keep Ford out of office. If he looks like he could win, I will automatically vote for whoever is polling highest other than him.
