I’m worried. There are enough people in Toronto that will never vote for Olivia Chow, she is no shoo-in to replace the problem in the mayor’s office.
John Tory may look like an option, but his strongest claim is that he is Rob Ford without the circus. What IS Rob Ford without the circus? Let’s face it, support for John Tory is half-hearted and fragile. He has name recognition, but his opponent has a ton more.
So I figure I’ll just vote for the candidate I believe would make the best mayor and do the most for Toronto. David Soknacki‘s policies are clearly defined and published, with priorities identified and funding spelled out. He has the experience to run a large government as well as success in business. He knows how to work with others and has some original, sensible ideas on transit and reining in police costs.
My choice for mayor is running far behind in the polls right now, but there’s time to fix that. That’s why I contributed to the Soknacki campaign and state my support here.
If his campaign is to succeed and lead the charge against another 4 years of wasted time and nonsense, this is no time for a wait-and-see approach. (You get a 75% rebate on any contribution between $100 and $300, paid to you by the City.)
We have an excellent choice for mayor. Let’s make it … and let’s make ourselves heard.

Everybody agrees Soknacki has raised the quality of the race and thinks like a grown up but he still lags in the polls. Why? If Toronto is glued to the Rob Ford show, we’ll get the mayor we deserve.
I like a lot about David Soknacki, too bad he doesn’t get better coverage. And too bad the NoFo vote is being split. If Ford wins I may start spitting in public – who cares, so why not?
Nooooooo! Please, no spitting in public, no matter what happens. But let’s all get behind Soknacki, just to make sure.
Soknacki coverage will improve immediately if we boost him in the polls. So let’s get busy doing that.
