First, I dig your name.

The 905'ers being the suburbs versus the 416'ers being the city folk. These are the area codes that make up the Toronto area I am told.

This contrast makes perfect sense to me after having spent some time up there, sorta like certain parts of NYC being conservative (Staten Island, bits of Queens and bits of Brooklyn) and then Manhattan being completely solidly progressive.

Is he really less than halfway thru his term??? Looks like a real asshole, good luck.
