Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Again, it's important to remember that Rob Ford would be the guy up on stage at the opening events of World Pride in 2014.
So it looks like Tory is leaning towards staying out and I don't blame him. He's been burned too many times and another loss would be humiliating... specially considering that everybody thinks he'd be the frontrunner. There are a lot of variables that could quickly change and deliver a devastating loss to John Tory. Considering these, I'd now be surprised if he ran.
Famous last words. He's not entering the Mayoral race cause Torontonians are still well aware of the faith-based schools fiasco, not to mention he's the chair of the Toronto City Summit Alliance whom proposes taxes, taxes, and more taxes on the automobile owner as a supposed solution to traffic congestion. Lol. He's becoming more left-wing by the nanosecond. Thanks but no thanks.
Ford is dead meat. Does he realize he's running for Mayor of Toronto and not some hick town in Texas?

HAH! I love it!! Digging his grave even deeper.
GraphicMatt: Good point! Iniitally I thought, who cares, gay marriage is (fortunately) beyond the mayor's jurisdiction. But you're right, as a representative of the city and the people of Toronto, this is hella scary!!
I'm very worried about this election. If all the right-wingers vote for Ford and the left leaners split their vote among a few candidates then he will probably win. I can't stand the thought of it so I really hope I'm wrong.
Im sorry.. but the lefties are a dying breed in Ontario.
