Toronto municipal election

Oh this is handy. I don't think I've seen a site that included school trustees before.

Thanks. So Mayors did work like they do here, but y'all have looked at Doug Ford and said "he needs moar powah"?

Seems like a bad idea.

The school trustee thing... I'm in the fence on. The article makes some good points but.. *looks at America* *waves away the smoke from the book burnings*.

Doug Ford is our provincial Premier. Rob Ford was our Mayor. I have no doubt whatsoever that DF's decision to increase mayoral powers is specifically because those pesky city counsellors wouldn't let little brother do whatever he wanted while he was Mayor.

One of them died, right?
Provincial Canadian politics isn't my thing (and national, but I am apprised that Trudeau is THE WORST by the Fraser Institute).

Yeah Rob Ford died of stomach cancer.

The Fraser Institute is an oligarch think tank. I'm no fan of Trudeau, but they are not people I'd take advice from.

TFI send me their emails through work, so I am familiar with the weight of their opinions.
