• Rob Ford: 47.1%
• George Smitherman: 35.6%
• Joe Pantalone: 11.7%

Calgary had their election a week before Toronto. One of those cities elected a progressive young Muslim, the son of an immigrant, to be mayor. The other elected a fiscally & socially conservative white guy from the burbs. It’s like we got each other’s leaders.

Yankee swap anybody?!
