Being from Toronto I've already had George Smitherman claim he will freeze property taxes for one year. People may think this is a good idea because their property taxes won't increase for one year but what they don't realize is money has to come from somewhere in order for a city to keep providing all it's services. Last year Toronto was barely able to balance their budget. By freezing property taxes for one year, George is hoping that people will think short term and vote for him. What he doesn't tell people is that in the long term it will be disastrous for our city since rates will have to increase in 2011 to catch up with our growing budget.

There was at one point over 50 candidates running for Toronto Mayor! Requiring people to get over 200 signatures is not a hard requirement if you are running for mayor. The majority of the candidates would probably be able to get the signatures but it would seperate real candidates from those that just want their names on the ballot.

It's reflective of the lack of appreciation that too many people have for our democracy. I don't disagree that there needs to be reform, but that includes most people's attitudes about what their responsibility is.

Any event that occurs downtown is going to impact the lives of those living in the area, and this must certainly be taken into account. At the same time, we are dealing with a question that has substantial impact on the city at large. These considerations are especially relevant given the new way London will be governed beyond the next election. With the abolition of the Board of Control, it is increasingly necessary for councillors to take a boarder view of issues affecting the city, and more thoroughly consider impacts beyond their localized ward.

This idea could lead to an opera house proposal as well. I cant see those opera people leaving it alone. Could there be money avaliable from the Canada Arts Council for Fanshawe ?? Or the Feds in some way? Hi Jared
