Wista, I must agree.
It would be great to have a Toronto City Hall Politics subforum within the Toronto Issues forum (and stuff such as Beer Store, Tim Hortons, Pan-Am Games, income inequality between neighbourhoods, and such would naturally not belong in that subforum). In the Toronto City Hall Politics subforum, the Rob Ford and John Tory threads can be stickied.
There is quite a large number of UT users who only post in the Rob Ford thread (and nowhere else), perhaps discovered this site from general interest social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit, or from politics-specific sites such as Rabble.ca (and yes, there are quite a number of Wikipedians here as well interested in Toronto City Hall politics).
