Who are you going to vote for in the upcoming municipal elections. I've added an other, undecided, and not going to vote option as well.
Sorry if this has already been done but I couldn't find it when I did a search |

--man barbara hall in the star today has totally pulled a fast one - Now she says she's AGAINST the bridge to and expansion of the island airport.. WTF?!@? For months she was saying how she was for, why the sudden switch??
Sudden changes of heart like this are very unprofessional

Tom Jakobek - Former City Counciller, Toronto City Budget Chief, rapped in a scandel over computer leasing

| Did you know that Jakobek wants to stop all recylcling programs in Toronto because they are useless. He says that most recycling goes to the dump. Well there is a half truth to this. A lot of recyling does end up in the dump, but this is only because Torontonians recylce so much, that the transfer stations can't handle all the volume. The solution to this problem is to increase the capacity of transfer stations, not get rid of the enviromentally sound program. The goal of Toronto is to divert 100% of all waste from the landfill by 2010 and this would be a step in the absolute wrong direction. |

If you don't vote - you shouldn't complain.
Take the time to vote. Our forefathers risked their lives for that right. |
