Sarah Thomson for Toronto Mayor

Enough with the politicians, Toronto needs to be run like a business and, preferably, by a business woman with a track record of success. Toronto needs to be more business friendly to create jobs, it needs an expansive subway system, and the public servants need to serve the people, rather than the union bosses who often act like mob bosses.

For these reasons, Sarah Thomson has my vote. The TTC has been mismanaged and used as a weapon against the citizens of Toronto and those who commute to their jobs to force action. Mayor Miller, Giambrone, and other far-left politician have abandoned the people who entrusted them with power in favour of the special interests and unions.

Giambrone is only running for mayor and is already embroiled in an embarrassing fiasco of infidelity. He betrayed someone he claims to love dearly, so what's in store for the people of Toronto? And the worst part, the man idolizes David Miller. Nevermind his handling of the TTC how poorly the TTC serves its customers. The TTC doesn't even realize its riders are customers. Pathetic.

Rossi is a political insider and on the left, hardly a change from Miller or McGuinty with baggage and plenty of favours to pay back.

Smitherman has already cost the tax payers billions with his mismanagement of health care while a cabinet member of McGuinty's wasteful government. That he is the front runner is an embarrassment to the city and an insult to the voters.

The city councillors of Toronto have forgotten that their responsibility is to serve the people, and that their power is borrowed from the people. Instead, Torontonians have had to endure garbage strikes, transit strikes, massive fiscal waste, mismanagement, poor service, excuses, and corruption in city hall.

It's time for a change. It's time for an outsider to get the city working for the people once again, where business is eager to flock to and engage in commerce, and where tourists are coming in droves to experience.

Sarah Thomson has my vote. Give her yours too.

Great. She has mine too if she promises to extend the subway hours to round the clock. In an ever growing city ...population-wise .. we should have public transit available round the clock. There are not enough all-night bus routes and the subway shuts down by 1 AM for almost 5 hours.

I am with her on the utter waste and non-productive idea of having a light rail system that will cost billions of $s. The light rail is a means of awarding the contracts for building one to the cronies of the corrupt city officials who are the big boys in unionized companies.
