The Toronto Star has published a profile of Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam. It’s worth a read. Ms. Wong-Tam presides over a huge ward, one which is not just large but quite possibly diverse beyond help. It should probably be broken up. The writer, Alex Ballingall quotes the Councillor as saying her constituents range from the top of the one per cent to the bottom of the 99 per cent. Residents of Rosedale and Moore Park might dislike being included in that largely fictional “one percent” category of scapegoats. But they might agree that hard-working as she is, one percent is about as much of the Councillor’s time as they get. Alex Ballingall, Toronto Star
