...so if you do not like Ford, who are you people voting for?
Better not be Furious George either. Toronto does not need the George-Dalton gang. Is Pantalone really that bad?

Well there you have it -- all the WASPS who hate fun are voting for Ford.There are some people who seem to long for the provincialism of old. They're the type that immediately recoil when someone suggests Toronto should be more like European cities or could one day be a 'world-class city.' To them, Toronto shouldn't strive to be anything except fiscally efficient. Leave the fun and ambitious stuff to Montreal. People like this will vote for Rob Ford.
The 'Miller vote' might clean up in wards like 18, but some suburban wards like 23 and 42 have literally twice as many people as ward 18. Turnout in those [and, generally, all large] wards is abysmal, though, so the total vote count is eerily similar across the 416, no matter how large the actual voter base is in each ward. This doesn't help Rob Ford. One would think that aging suburban areas with a high proportion of new Canadians eager to exercise their civic muscles would see not-pathetic turnout, but that's not what happens. I wonder if poll locations help downtown areas and hurt suburban areas...I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
How many people in these wards are citizens eligible to vote?
You seem very unfamiliar with this city.

Oh how I detest Derringer!Derringer dads and their Dean Blundell offspring, as opposed to wussy Matt Galloway types.
Or rather, the so-called WASPy types who are more blue-collar, white-trashy in outlook. Hockey dads who feel they are being sneered at, y'know. It isn't that they hate fun; it's that they're rather define "fun" in their own terms than have their tax dollars going into some cultural-propaganda definition of "fun".
