Like the Globe and Mail previous, the National Post spotlights some of the races heating up in the various wards across Toronto:
WARD 9 (YORK CENTRE)
“Incumbent councillor Maria Augimieri has not yet registered, but her office confirmed yesterday she will be seeking re-election.

Can someone do a story on candidates in Ward 32. We really need a new Councillor. Pleeeease!!
Hey, Jerry;
There is actually a very good alternative to Ms. Bussin running out in Ward 32 – his name is Bruce Baker.
As I'm running next door to Mr. Baker in Ward 30, I met with him to discuss options, and found him to be thoughtful, with some real-life experience, a a good handle on the issues and a contempt for those who cover up figures and facts.
Mr. Baker was a TTC driver (resigning after having 3 people jumped in front of his subway) and now plies his trade as a real-estate agent.
He's worth checking out (and helping! taking on an incumbent requires financial and volunteer help…!)
I'm running in Ward 7 too… Funny how they only mention two of the seven candidates… Guess they've already decided who to back… hag1.
