Oh no! Toronto’s transit is the best in Canada

•Will Chow make jets on the island an issue?
by
•Olivia Chow quit her job as a member of Parliament today and will declare her candidacy for mayor of Toronto tomorrow (Thursday, March 14, 2013). Ms. Chow has name-recognition and is a sympathetic figure. She has a strong downtown base. The issue will be whether Ms. Chow’s decidedly left-wing reputation will play in the many parts of Toronto where centre-right candidates typically win. In recent years, David Miller narrowly won the 2003 general election against John Tory. Mr. Miller was probably not seen as being as far to the left as Ms Chow. Most people believe that Miller won largely for his opposition to the island airport bridge. It is an issue that many think cuts across right and left. It is mushy municipal motherhood to be in favour of better transit and food trucks. The present field does not have much to say about the 2014 incarnation of the airport story — jet planes for Porter Airlines. We shall see if Ms Chow and her advisers think they can isolate her opponents on an issue that goes beyond left and right.

•Ami welcomes her clients on Bayview Ave
by
•Ami |
Ami , the petite esthetician and manicurist, loves her new location on Bayview Ave. “It is so friendly and nice with people coming and going,” says the cheerful businesswoman. She has built her business at different locations over 20 years since finding passage to Canada from Vietnam. And the early years were a struggle, going to school to learn her craft and working for others. But her persistence won out and now she is proud to recount her considerable clientele. “They are wonderful and loyal” says Ami. Like all practitioners on her business, Ami is licensed by the Ontario government to provide the services of the esthetician’s trade. Manicure, pedicure, body-waxing, eye lash curl and tint and biogel (artificial) nails are among her range of skills. She is currently offering 25 percent discount for a first visit to her new studio at 1659 Bayview Ave (416) 489-8292 and cell (416) 828-4354. There is a quiet pride about Ami. She’s a Canadian now and like so many immigrants who thought they wanted to go the U.S. using Canada as a way station, Ami found she really liked it better in Toronto than anywhere else. She’s glad she figured that out. It is 20 years since Ami set foot in this country and she has worked every day she has been here. One can imagine why her clientele show her loyalty.
