Me, last July www.tvo.org/article/anal...
Toronto’s a single city when the suburbs “deserve” subways, but the suburbs are precious, delicate villages when a city of three million needs places for people to live. What does this have to do with the next election? Just this: housing is already shaping up to be a lightning-rod issue for the coming mayoral race, and whoever is running against Chow will be running to her political right. Toronto’s political geography is pretty predictable, and a right-leaning challenger to Chow will need to run up the score in the suburbs while she wins huge margins downtown. One of the ways for a conservative challenger to run up that score will almost certainly be to promise some kind of “pause”, “reset”, or “reconsideration” on the city’s housing goals in the suburbs. Whatever euphemism they choose, it will mean backtracking on fourplexes, shelters, and probably rooming houses as well across the vast majority of the city.

He's long-armed like an NBA wing, and bends his torso way over to the side like a big Stretch Armstrong to make his delivery as close to 12 o'clock as you can physically pitch. He's neither righty or lefty. He's just a new third thing, a From Up High-handed pitcher
