$43000 was spent on the Save Transit City campaign. It also had the Mayor behind it. Political and financial support and only 45 calls a day!! I'm sorry but that's bad.

I've never worked in a premier's office, but I have worked for other elected officials and 45 calls a day is huge. Getting calls about issues is actually pretty rare. People these days are far more likely to write an e-mail than confront an elected official directly over the phone.

45 calls a day is 2% of the total calls that the Premier's office recieves. I don't really think that's a big number.

How many actually took the time to call the government about the plan? Started a coalition? Got the attention of the media?

I don't get it. Is SOS/MoTo worse because it doesn't have as good media attention as the government-created Transit City?
We're working on it. I believe we've gotten the word out to a few of the mayoral candidates and are working on more media attention.

McGuilty, and perhaps Harper is too inane to think globally; pretending to be cash-strapped, it's no wonder they'd propose a "nice" Euro-theme transit package in a metropolis equivalent to Chicago!

I'm sorry it didn't stick (pardon the pun).

How many of those 45 Transit City calls are for, against, and I-don't-give-a-darn (he's our shortstop)?

I've been tellin' 'em to start posting flyers where-ever possible.
We have to treat Tramsit City and the Miller office as a dictatorship.
The bastards do not want public participation. They want token participation where they basically just inform us and then hope that we stfu. Oppose the dictatorship!!!

Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
I love that this poll ended up deadlocked 50/50.
