Why you should vote today!!

If you worry about the following you need to vote today:

Crime, traffic, stupid parking laws, your favourite nightclub, transportation such as TTC, solving the homeless problem, property taxes (which also affect rent prices btw)

All these issues can be decided in part by YOU today by casting your vote. Go out and vote and vote wisely. Toronto is at a crucial crossroads. Many people don't realize how dire the city's situation is at the moment. This could be one of the most important elections Toronto has ever had. This is why YOU need to vote today so that you can steer the city in the direction you want it to go. The 2 main candidates couldnt be more different and thats a very good thing for democracy.

My theory - if you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain.

good, these people control our destiny. This is why we should try and control them as much as possible.

I cannot understand how a person decides not to vote when most of their lives is decided by these people.

Yeah let's build more subways, that's the solution!

She had so many screw-ups in the initial days of campaigning and half the time I watch her debates it seems she doesn't know what she's talking about.

I am astonished an election thread wasn't started a few days ago.

I'm voting today, because I feel I can't complain if I don't vote. There's some bozos in my town I want out, and some new ones I want in. I must speak my voice with my pencil tonight.

If you'd like to hear your mayoral candidates in your area, you can hear them here: http://www.cfrb.com/elections.

My municipal taxes have gone up by 50% in the last few years, and I am pissed, and will voice my opinion and desire for change tonight.

In Aurora, it's time to clean it up, and time for a ward system IMO.

It's pretty hard to distinguish between the platforms of the candidates in my ward. I essentially feel the net result will be the same regardless of who I vote for.

I just came back from voting.

Posted by DigiNut on Nov-14-2006 01:43:

Not only did I vote but I convinced my dejected mom and some other slackers to vote after they looked at the polls and said "there's no point!"

Vote Miller! (for Biggest Douchebag in the Universe)

Hey, it's not everyday when a politician can pull off a 99.7% (I think) approval vote

The other 2 are fuck ups... ive had a personal run in with morris that wasnt pretty. I cant stand her or arrogant tim jones either.

"Were only making plans for Nigel, do do do do do."
I agree with you 100%, I hope Nigel gets it. I clearly recall the weekly articles she posted in the 'banner criticizing the councillors and Jones, some 4 and more years ago. She didn't get elected for that election, and all I read in the paper was her bitchin', and no constructive criticism. She got on last time, and boy did she like the power trip... like that ordeal last year with her signing capacity when the mayor's away.

Forget malls, we need industries badly, but anything but retail. My water is the hardest I've ever seen in my life, and with the exception of this summer, the water bans shouldn't happen. Aurora keeps building homes and so far did squat on providing adequate water to those who've been here already.

And don't get me started with the selfish nimby *&^%$ with the electrical towers.

Thank you

It was under 5 minutes 2 years ago, it took me 8 before the construction, 12 with the construction, but the latter should be better as of this week.

I wonder when they'll put an entry/exit on St. John's Sideroad...

DAMMIT, my town now has a bad case of syPhyllis for the next 4 years.

Morris ousts Jones in Aurora
Aurora

Phyllis Morris celebrates her victory with a supporter. Voters made Phyllis Morris the happiest woman in Aurora tonight.

By ousting long-time mayor Tim Jones, residents sent Ms Morris a clear message: move past the dysfunction that bogged down the past council and work constructively with a fresh new slate of councillors during the next four years.

Ms Morris led from the outset as the advanced polls indicated a tight race between her and Mr. Jones.

Her lead grew from a few dozen votes when poll results began streaming in shortly after 8 p.m.

When it was over she won with 5,208, compared to Mr. Jones� 4,798 with 23 of 24 polls reporting.
