"More ripples in the pond. Olivia Chow is seriously considering
running for Toronto Mayor."
No offence to Ms Chow. Is she qualified?
Yes she was a councillor. Yes she is an MP, but are people expecting that
something from her husband has rubbed off on to her? I do not see her as someone
that could handle this job.
Emotions aside, she could not do it.
*********************
No offense intended to the writer but the comment is offensive to all women. .
Ms Chow, I believe, was an alderman in Toronto as long ,if not longer than her late husband. She was successful in her own right in Toronto politics and in the federal arena.Nobody gets a free ride.
Not even Justin Trudeau, I warrant.
Without a doubt, she was a valuable resource, as her husband went forward to become leader of the NDP. and achieve success for the party, never known before.
Her loss must have been devastating. She carried on.She stayed the course.
If she is now thinking about coming home and how her skills might be better used, it would surely be a logical decision.
Campaigning for the office of Mayor of Toronto would be a formidable task to contemplate.
It would require one or both of these two..
Unlimited financial resources. The support of a political party.
The NDP have been successful in Toronto campaigns. People and passion can combat money.
Olivia Chow would be a very attractive candidate.She is small but mighty,
Certainly the equal of any man who might come forward.
Including the current Mayor.

What a smarmy comment for anyone to make about Olivia Chow! She might well turn out to be brilliant as Mayor and small-minded dismissals like the one made here will not stop her from trying. Maybe someone is worried about just that? That comment isn't just offensive to women - it pisses me off too.
It's the same kind of criticism hitting Justin Trudeau - that he isn't his father. Why should he be his father?
Any one but Ford.
The George Smitherman supporters looking for a easy win are not going to like this one bit if it is true. I hope it is. Might be good for TO. Go, girl!
Olivia Chow would be a brilliant candidate.
Experienced, intelligent, with a strong sense of responsibility.
Completely the opposite of Tubby.
It's a shame one has to wait two more years to dump Ford.
Okay then.... what has she done that would warrant her being such a great candidate?
I cannot think of anything.
The same is true of Justin Trudeau.
Show the record that would tell anyone the qualifications.
