Mernagh and Baskin are clearly the two underdogs in a mayoral race with plenty of candidates, includes a few that are actually qualified. However, if you had to choose between one of these two or Ford himself, who would your vote go to?

Baskin:

Education: Still in high school completing a "fifth year victory lap."

First impression: Stupid glasses.

Website: http://morganbaskin.ca/

Claim to fame: A cub scout leader during the school year.

Qualification for mayorship: States that "being eighteen I keep long hours, something I am sure would only benefit me in politics. I am constantly spending time with children, a skill set that I am sure is transferable to City Hall as well."

Passions: "I am a lover of streetcars, to the point of borderline obsession, have a soft spot for whimsy, may it come in the form of unicorns or hair glitter."

Platform: Creating a "digital, global and green Toronto." Plans to share a more detailed platform in the future.

Mernagh

Education: Diplomas in creative writing and journalism. Campaign website describes him as "well-educated."

First impression: Bad teeth.

Website: http://mernagh4mayor.ca/

Claim to fame: "Almost" legalized marijuana legal in landmark "R v. Mernagh" case.

Qualification for mayorship: Claims that he is "an articulate communicator, community leader and a consensus builder. A journalist, community organizer, and an advocate with a well deserved national profile."

Passions: 4/20

Platform: Greening of Toronto with urban gardens to increase property values, increase Toronto Municipal Land Transfer rebate, increase communication by city government with the people of Toronto.

Ford

Education: Two years of community college.

First impression: Fat ass.

Website: http://www.robfordformayor.ca/

Claim to fame: First Toronto mayor to admit to crack use.

Qualification for mayorship: Lots of past city council experience and one term as mayor.

Passions: KFC

Platform: Low, low taxes!

ford out of these, and I hope he wins again. He is the model of how business is done in southern ontario, greasing palms and drinking beer. Construction, infrastructure, manufacturing...thats all Fordsy type stuff, yoga spas, women's rights, green initiatives. Olivia Chow. She will do nothing but help women and hippies feel better about themselves. Sure corruption will continue with Ford but at least toronto will get some sorely needed upgrades. Italian and EE organized crime won't work with Chow thats for sure.

Robby is a legend!!! In a city submerged by faggots, betas, manginas not to mention femicunts and hipsters, he is a breathe of fresh air as he is alpha to the core. At times, he gives off airs of the Canuck version of Putin on a much smaller scale of course.

Ford all the way!!!

not putin but an english, younger, municipal, just as 'say it like it is' Jean Cretien. He was a crazy talking, robber smashing, protestor choking prime minister that was also likely corrupt, Ford is from the same cloth.

If I lived in Toronto, I would vote for Ford. More russkies to do business with and making sure feminists are kept in place.

I'll be voting for John Tory, hands down. He's accomplished, conservative, and intelligent. I've also been on his radio show before and met him - he seems like a decent fella'.

I voted for Ford the first time around but he's an absolute mess of a person, and Olivia Chow legitimately cannot speak English. I'm not racist; she spoke at my high-school and could barely string a sentence together.

She's been here since the 1970s though, and moved from Hong Kong where she already learned English as a child. LOL.

I think she plays it up for the ethnic vote.

I could care less whom wins. Toronto learned the hard way letting Ford win this first time. This town is a mess and it isn't from the Mayoral seat. Council is full of inept goons whom don't want to build the City.

The Airport debate is pissing me off also. The Lake has been dead for decades and Porter is willing to put more money into restoration since the Feds, Province, City all have cut the conversation funds for the Lake over the decades. You have a private corp willing to put its cash in the game, and create legit jobs, plus offer a much needed service to the business community that Toronto needs. All these hipsters say no like a bunch of fools while they drive around on the Gardiner in their Audi's spewing pollution all over, while consuming wasteful Starbucks coffee daily, supporting a corporation that has the carbon footprint of a small European nation. Its pathetic.

I hope Ford wins again and keeps up his trolling.

Fair enough.

Turns out she recently spoke at my high-school again and my little brother heard her speak. His review? "I can't believe this woman still is unable to speak English".

Also, I LOVE how Sun News trolled her so hard when she announced her candidacy and asked her opinion on illegal massage parlours.

[Suits]

Chow seems to speak English just fine here.

I am from Toronto, but I am not in Toronto. I would vote for Rob Ford ten times out of nine. He isn't just some dipshit community-organizer; he has a plan and he wants get shit done. Toronto is a broken machine; some of the highest taxes in the free world, the biggest city by twice in Canada, you basically need 60k/year to just operate there and yet somehow it operates on a deficit every single year...that's not right.

Also, he has 'it'...yeah, he has his issues and his crack problems, but at the same time he has the essence, the thing no politicians have. It's always funny to me when the heads say 'No young people are voting, let's fix this!'...well no shit young people aren't voting; 99% of politicians are boring, do-nothing paper-pushers who neither care about nor value the interests and opinions of anyone other than their friends, and least of all young people. I don't know if Rob Ford personally is like this himself, but at the same time, he's a guy I can see myself grabbing a beer with or passing a jay to at a party; I would give him the opportunity to tell me his plans and his platform, because he seems like a real person with flaws, personality and his own style...he has handlers, not zookeepers.

I know nothing of the other two candidates...which one is the immigrant and which one is the homo?
