Humble downtown lady says she should be mayor

Olivia Chow will face the cameras tomorrow with a message for voters that she is experienced, compassionate and — count on it — concerned that you may feel packed like a sardine on the TTC. In other words, the campaign video embedded here reveals a warm politician who so far has a platform that is fairly conventional. Sure, you will say. Why should she be any different? Others in the mayor’s race however have got their warnings well rehearsed about Ms. Chow’s politics. We heard John Tory say today that his friend Olivia had never seen a public dollar she didn’t know how to spend.
