Rossi for Mayor: A Road to Nowhere
Christopher Hume, The Toronto Star Full Story Mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi, a neo-conservative and former Liberal Party fundraiser, has made no secret of his belief that Toronto will ride to its glorious future on a high-speed multi-lane highway free of bike lanes and walkers.
There’s nothing new about the politics of middle-class disgruntlement. The best local practitioner was former premier Mike Harris, a master of divide-and-conquer tactics. Rossi hopes to adapt the strategy to a civic situation.
How ironic that a candidate who likes to present himself as the non-politician would turn out to be the most cynical of the bunch, in populist parlance, therefore the most obviously and crassly political. >>
