I want to let anyone who might be reading this know that I'm voting for Joe Pantalone. I met him when we were working to get the community garden set up at Christie Pits and he was a huge advocate of our efforts. He was at our community meeting in the beginning and he came out to support us and celebrate our success at the ground-breaking event last summer. Speaking from personal experience and from the experience of others who have known him for years, I could not imagine a better fit for my city.
On an even more local note, I spoke to Kevin Beaulieu on my front steps today about Dufferin Grove. We spoke about the problems they have been facing including conflicts between the city and longstanding community groups. I was so impressed by his understanding of the issues and his confidence that the events and market will continue to happen. He strongly agrees that it is an important part of the city. I think he is the most progressive and engaged candidate in my Ward and has decidedly secured my vote.
If you support urban farming, parks, diversity, and a healthy city, I hope you will come out and vote. Be informed and don't be swayed by the polls or the media. Vote for your first choice for mayor. Our city is beautiful, not broken.
