TORONTO — There's nothing sexy about municipal politics.
Bylaws aren't sexy, and neither is the issue of snow removal or parking tickets. Not even a sex scandal could make the TTC sexy and frankly even Toronto's mayoral race is looking like it will be a snoozer.
Heck, we're not even surprised anymore when the stats come out at the end of each municipal election that highlight our dismal voting record. In 2006, less than 40 per cent of Torontonians even bothered to get out and cast a ballot.
So what will it take to get the masses interested in the one level of government that actually has the most impact on their daily lives?

About Me

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
