$2,550,000,000
—The amount John Tory would need to spend on tunnelling alone in order to deliver his promised SmartTrack transit plan, according to an unusually meticulous Globe analysis. Tory has said that the whole scheme will cost $8 billion, but with more than a quarter of that amount going toward putting tracks underground, it’s likely that the total would end up being much higher. How much higher? Nobody knows.
Not true.
Chow is sinking so far in the polls that Tory’s tunnelers will just follow the hole she’s already created.
Electing Olivia Chow as mayor is not only a practical choice for this city but more importantly, it will be a vital symbolic move forward for Toronto. Torontonians have an opportunity before us to attract international attention for all the right reasons – for electing a mayor committed to all of us and in whom we can entrust our image and expand our reputation as an open, civically sensitive, dynamic, harmonious and globally oriented city. Let’s end the Ford Farce. Let’s breathe new life into municipal politics!Olivia is the ONLY candidate to have a platform at all! Fords never even wrote one…Tory figures he’s got the job so is laying back, not even trying anymore. Only Olivia has the longstanding solid track record of bringing real transformative change to our beloved city SHE IS ONLY CANDIDATE REALLY DOING THE WORK, people
