It’s started. We mean the polls that tell us how voters say they would cast their ballots now for the election which takes place more than a year from now. John Tory is shown as a big winner in a straight one-on-one contest against Doug Ford, according to a Mainstreet poll. A third well-known candidate like Ward 19 member Mike Layton would diminish Tory’s lead and possibly beat him — electing Ford. That may be a warning for Tory but it should be a don’t-go-there alarm for Layton whose constituency is pretty much South of Bloor.
