I hope the right leaners rally behind Stintz. The though of people supporting Mammoliti, or Minan-Wong is unpleasant. Mammo for obvious reasons, DMW rubs me the wrong way, notably for his attitude towards the Jarvis bicycle lanes.

Hey, whatever happened to Mammo's conspiracy theory that the left wing was tapping peoples phones etc? Was that just project traveller?

Mammo is kind of a joke but I wouldn't mind if he entered - at most would only compete with Ford for the crackpot vote (presuming he actually makes it to election day).

EDIT for full disclosure: I thought I'd explain my disdain for the man. I was in New York at Century 21 and noticed Minan-Wong shopping for suits. What a coincidence I thought! I waved at him and said Hi Councillor! He replied: Leave me alone, I'm on vacation. Hummm.. ok? What if I was one of his constituents? What kind of ungrateful bastard acts like that?

I would love to hear his side of the story. He's one of the few respectable voices on council. I rarely disagree with his positions or ideas.

Regardless, if it's Minan-Wong or the NDP/Socialist Chow he could go around kicking people in the balls randomly and still get my vote and whatever campaign contributions I can muster.
 
I find it really interesting that Mike Layton has not said anything yet. He has come out with choice comments about RF before, but so far is mum on this debacle.

Wow. What a scumbag.
 
Minnan-Wong is an aloof turkey. My brother once saved his dog, who was walking on the street, from nearly being run over by a car. He took it up to Denzil -- who was standing by his garage -- completely unaware of what transpired. My brother explained that it almost got hit by a car, and Denzil said, in an unconcerned, nonchalant tone, "oh...thanks". He also lets this same dog swim in the Don River. Does he not realize how revoltingly polluted the water is?

Perhaps it is because he remembers his own father was also involved in a very embarrassing situation when it was revealed that he had been caught in the nude by police as a patron inside a massage parlor that police were investigating for underage sex-slavery. Of course the media-party went easy on Jack swallowing his ridiculous explanation that he was visiting a "community clinic" for a "therapeutic massage" (his wife Olivia would repeat the same ridiculous explanation).

I supposed Mike knows better than most that not all politicians are "lily white".
 
Here is where the money from the crackstarter indiegogo campaign went to (for anyone who wants to call for a rep to come to the the rally next Wed.)

He could still say: I hope he gets help. etc. Innocuous.
He can't say anything nice, so he is saying nothing?

For anyone's who willing to help invite individuals/organizations to the rally (the above four, and any others you can think of), I will create an @savetoronto.ca email address (powered by Outlook - web-mail access) for you. Just PM me.
 
As I mentioned elsewhere, Toronto Ohio named themselves after Toronto, Ontario as we were "a place worth emulating".

I wonder if they're reconsidering that.

Then you deserve the same scorn that Ford gets. You're the ones who make him possible.
