The Globe and Mail is calling it a shift to the left but it may be more like a bob-and-weave. Ms Chow has unearthed remarks made by John Tory when he was the leader of the PC Party of Ontario ten years ago. He was talking then about Toronto the way rural Ontarians like to do — as the place to hate. But Chow has largely missed the boat on a lot of progressive issues. She has ignored the Toronto Island airport expansion, a cause that cuts across left and right. Neither has she talked much about public housing. That one is not so universal as the airport and she has a bit of a problem with it because she used to live there. Globe and Mail
