Toronto Residents: Who Would You Vote For In The Mayoral Elections?

[Andit]

Partly. Here's Smitherman's smear campaign against Ford:

Did you see Rossi ambush Ford outside an event? He invited "journalists" along to record the reaction. When Ford refused to react, he started on a tirade against racism (?). Bizarre.

I wish I could convince my politically minded friend to run. Of course, he'd never ever win - he's too honest for his own good.

Any new opinions?

Well, I'm happy that Sara Thomson dropped out. I lost all respect for her when she made some really silly remarks during a debate.

The jury's still out for me in terms of who deserves my vote. Quite frankly, my dog would be a better candidate than these options.

definitely voting for ford. I still associate smitherman with mcguilty's LIEberals.

I would vote for Lily before those candidates too lol

I don't live in Toronto, but if I did...

I didn't mind Smitherman when he was at Queen's Park, he was quite down to earth and took the time to speak to people which is more than some of the ministers there. However, I hate smear campaigns and it has really put me off him

I typically favour a blue candidate, but I will not ever vote for Ford. His demeanour only means that there will be no consensus in Council (which you need to pass anything, there has to be give and take), and if he uses the same attitude he has shown in debates and campaigning when asking the Feds or McGuinty for funds, he will get nowhere

I didn't have a very high opinion of Rossi to begin with but its even lower now considering his release of the info of Thompson bowing out to support him (and I am glad she was honest about it and that she changed her mind as a result)

Pantalone is just meh, even the media don't really report about him

I don't understand why his campaign thinks that reminding people of his time in the provincial government, with all of his scandals, would endear him to the people he screwed over.

I came across this game/contest about the candidates - called "Mayor Munch" - I think you can play as a guest without entering the contest.

LOL

Well, she`s lived most of her life in Toronto (since she was 6months old, don`t know where she lived before that) & I have no clue what her Mom & Dad were. Best guess is a little collie, a little labrador, a little greyhound & some kind of evil genius. Well, she`s not exactly evil, just very very smart - more than I`ll ever be.

But she`s never met a person or cat she didn`t like. & she wouldn`t cause endless fights in council - she`s very good at manipulating everyone & charming them into getting her way.

Too bad it`s too late to run for election, I have a feeling she`d get lots of votes.

[Andit]

Does anyone really think that Miller`s endorsement of Pantalone will help his campaign?

Both Pantaleone & Ford voted in favour of the silly new anti-parking law. To be fair to them, the by-laws were changed since they were first presented (as a way to keep cars from blocking sidewalks).

Still have no clue who to vote for.

ford! i've even got the bumper sticker
