CAA surveys mayoral candidates in and around Toronto

Issues continue to be lost in this municipal election as Rob Ford's lead continues to dominate Toronto's mayoral race. To keep that lead Ford continues to say more of the same vague stuff with which he opened and his opponents look increasingly desperate.

But once you get past the surprise Ford juggernaut, transportation remains the top concern for many voters in the city and around the region.

So the CAA has put the question of transportation priorities to Toronto mayoral candidates and those in other municipalities, including Burlington, Mississauga and Vaughan. Clearly many candidates didn't respond but some might see that as interesting of itself.

You won't be surprised by the responses, many of which are formulaic out-takes from formulaic platforms but if you're just starting to pay attention to the specifics of the race have a look.
