Councillors (and Mayor) office budget and donations to local groups #VoteTO

photo credit: GKS. Councillor Suzan Hall charged $720 for donations to local groups and tickets to charity events as of June 30 2010. I was checking 2010 expense report which is only showing January-June 2010. July October 2010 is going to be VERY interesting. I am not against giving donations to local groups and charity. [...]

Fake Twitter accounts

So the official twitter accounts to the 6 candidates we are following are: @robfordteam, @jpantalone, @roccothevoteTO, @G_Smitherman/@TeamSmitherman, @himysyed and @ThomsonTO. I have seen fake accounts for Ford, Smitherman, Rossi and Thomson. I have not seen fake accounts of Pantalone or Syed. Ford has the most fake accounts. All fake accounts from all candidates are following [...]

Queen Rocco Rossi (@roccothevoteTO) has been de-crowned.

photo credit: tagawa So I have been measuring 6 candidates. Today’s update I added Jonathan Goldsbie just for fun. Mr. Goldsbie is tied with Mr. Syed but he is kicking the asses of Ford, Rossi, Thomson and Pantalone. If two or more candidates have the same score (Goldsbie/Syed, Ford/Rossi) then we use alphabetical order. As [...]

Sexiest Mayoral Candidate #VoteTO

photo credit: euthman So you can see on the right sidebar the photos of 22 Mayoral Candidates. Those are the ones we found last night. We converted them to 125 x 125 and put them together, also added their names on top. We are going to crown the sexiest candidate with a tiara. So let’s [...]

Election Twitter Report Card – #VoteTO

photo credit: Guillermo Julián So as per every election, there is going to be rules that are broken. This municipal election has twitter, craigslist, Facebook and more. So let’s go on about the spam on the #VoteTO tag and have some fun. The popular candidates have twitter: Rob Ford (@robfordteam) 369 Joe Pantalone (@jpantalone) 580 [...]

George Smitherman is a chicken #VoteTO

So George Smitherman challenged Rob Ford to a one on one debate calling the other 32 Registered Mayoral Candidates noise. Rob Ford finally said NO to George Smitherman. He will do it after September 10. Essentially Rob “owned” George by saying “I will do the debate when I want to and not when YOU want [...]

What does Ken Wood, Himy Syed and Rocco Rossi have in common? #VoteTO

So I am at the New Bloor Festival. The original festival was called BIG ON BLOOR and it was a lot longer (it started around Christie). This year was different, new name as well. The 600 metres from Dufferin Street to Lansdowne Avenue was the place for this wonderful festival. I saw three Davenport South [...]

George Smitherman’s walk on Eglinton

Eglinton Avenue is an unique street. It is the ONLY street that goes through Etobicoke, York, North York, Toronto, East York and Scarborough. From the 427 to it’s eastern end at Kingston Road it is 39 kilometres. According to Google Maps, it would take 6 hours and 40 minutes to walk. I would die by [...]

Rocco Rossi (@roccothevoteTO) and Lawrence Heights debate #VoteTO

Rocco Rossi did not attend the Lawrence Heights debate out of respect for the Jewish population in the area. He clarified things why, here is a screenshot: Read bottom up (1-4): Usually I don’t post Direct Messages/e-mails/etc…but to be fair and I liked his last message. During the debate I mentioned that Rocco Rossi was [...]

Lawrence Heights Debate #VoteTO

So Sarah Thomson, Rob Ford, George Smitherman, Joe Pantalone and Rocco Achampong. Yes you are reading correctly. Rocco Achampong, Not Rocco Rossi. Mr. Rossi was partying at Caribana. I guess he doesn’t care for Lawrence Heights. These debates are essential to democracy and our community. I am sorry Mr. Rossi but Caribana and the universe [...]
