At Smitherman's campaign party, supporters are huddled around the TVs waiting for the first results to come through.

As Ford shoots to the early lead, one woman explains, "That means nothing. It's the suburbs."
Well over 100 people are clustered around here.

the feed stopped after it was declared Ford won! Oh how funny is that!

"It's the Suburbs"? Huh?

"That means nothing. It's the suburbs."

It's that type of arrogance that Smitherman et al flaunts that makes me sad. I live in the urban part of Toronto, yet I understand that Toronto includes it all, urban, suburban and even those small tracts of farms. To be so dismissive of the other millions of people that don't happen to live downtown is a wrong-headed approach. Hopefully the new council and mayor will get it.
