But yet 2/3rds of Torontonians enjoy voting for status quo, and delusional individuals for premier. Wake me up when these same residents are actually serious about change in Toronto.

What are you talking about? If you're referring to the 2018 Provincial Elections, only 359 177 out of the 1 079 875 Torontonian voters voted for the PC party (roughly 34%). the rest mainly voted for the NDP. If you're referring to the 2014 mayoral race, if you have forgotten, Torontonians voted for a new mayor.

One wonders which ward you were in where they were "voting for delusional individuals for premier". That' quite the delusion the voters had!

It does amaze .... though if they thought they were "voting for delusional individuals for premier" in "the 2018 Mayoral/City Council Race", then there's no helping them or us! :)

It's a miracle that they don't vote out of existence the very TTC routes they rely on.

I am constantly amazed how posters on this forum think Torontonians are single issue transit voters. Talk about projection.

Well transit was the main issue in the last municipal election for approximately 1 out of 2 Torontonians in the last municipal election after all. I dont think it's projection at all.
 
Just to add, yes, transit has become an important issue for many Torontonians. But my point is that posters on this forum act as though transit is the only issue one could ever vote on.
