Olivia Chow resigns seat, set to launch Toronto mayoral bid
QBall QBall:
Yeah like her mailing out a taxpayer-funded flyer highlighting her work in Ottawa out to her constituents just before resigning as an MP? Or her going on a book signing tour when Parliament was sitting? Is that a real enough example of her disrespect for taxpayer's money?
Egads , thanks for the heads up. Should she not be held accountable for billing the tax payers for her private life.
I get those bullshit propaganda flyers from all parties, and robo calls .
I think only the conservatives though get to use tax payers money to do so.
Was she taking her cues from Harper's appointed cronies?
And I agree they should not have a private life , nothing they do beyond serving the public should be allowed.
And they should stop seeing their families as well. What a distraction eh!

Or maybe the fact that she gotten to where she is now because she's Mrs. Jack Layton? Are we keeping it real yet?
Yes indeed she was nothing till she met him.
She was just lowly woman working away as School trustee then .
Ok enough of the sarcasm you might believe it, and it will come back to bite me in the ass.
I recall her relationship with Dan Heap who was sort of her mentor.
Dan Heap I met in Kensington Market back in the day. It did not lead me into becoming an NDP supporter but the guy was cooler than cool. Lil off the wall in person.
She married and worked with Layton, who I do not like. You cannot deny her being her own person and saying she was nothing if it wasn't for Layton. I think she also helped Layton get where he got. Layton's rise surprises the hell out me .
and yeah i am keeping it real. I try to offset my own agendas with reality and sometime have to give in to reality, and put aside my personal political prejudices. Which as I grow older get lessened.
The larger problem with Chow is she's a rabble rousing, tax and spend socialist. Some might say Commie.
Sun news has one on the dark side of Chow you can watch here.

If she gets in with the cabal of reds that sit around that city council table right now, mark my words, you guys might as well move to Venezuela. You'll cry yourselves to sleep remembering the good old days when all you had to worry about in a mayor was a little substance abuse.

Or living in a Toronto housing unit, meant for low income people, all while both her and Jack were Toronto City Councillors?
Olivia Chow is only concerned about 1 thing. Olivia Chow.

You lost me when you sourced Sun News on the subject of an NDP politician.
I can't click the link for it's all propaganda and the worse form of ?"news"?
tax and spend socialist instead of tax and line your buddies pockets .
you choose whats better for you if you are working poor.

Just the thing the Ford campaign needed.
More people can vote against Chow, rather than for Ford, but that's all he needs.
Also shows the Dippers know the next federal election,
it's time to return to the back of the bus.

You actually think the Dippers don't line their own pockets as much
as everyone else ?
Are you stupid or something ?

Precisely the thing that made me abhor Layton. That was the start for me at seeing him as nothing other than a glorified con man.
Quebec is very sophisticated when it come to elections. I think they went Orange for entirely different reasons than the NDP are banking on. It was a slap in the face to the Status Quo, and a show of real voting power.
Like how did that happen anyway , if not for a very sophisticated base of operations.
ok!! so it sounds like a conspiracy theory, you tell me why it went Orange out of the Blue

The fact you accept it shows me we are in trouble.
My point was and always is when it comes to a Canadian Socialist anything.
They are the only ones who allow for the crumbs to hit the working poor .
The Hockey poor that the Cons appease with a hundred bucks a kid, is very real.
Life in Canada sucks for a lot of people that work hard.
We are the richest resource rich country in the free world.
Smaller countries with no resources have a happier working class.
I have not rode a subway in Toronto for over twenty years.
The wife and I started to park at Yorkdale Shopping mall and ride the subway Downtown this winter.
She commented on the general look of the people as being really unhappy.
When we lived in toronto and used the subway it wasn't like that twenty years ago.
i don't need the crumbs, but enjoy watching them be spread about.

No it doesn't. There are a lot of places on this earth I could direct people who think so to that could show them what sucking really is.
The only people voting for Rob Ford these days are those who just like watching it all burn. I don't think he has a chance.
Doug Ford just called Kevin Spacey an arrogant SOB. (That may be true ... couldn't say) but talk about calling the kettle black!

Wow!
Everyone i meet that supports the guy is this fit!
If nothing else, the election will interesting...but I think Toronto loses with either choice (Ford or Chow).
Sun News is interesting on this one. Of course, Chow is the Devil, but Michael Coren and others are warm to this guy John Tory, where Ezra and others not so much.
