Poll results: Mandatory Metropasses

Yourhomers aren't that keen on new condo legislation that would require developers to provide purchasers with TTC Metropasses "at no cost," according to last week's poll. (Read the full story, and check out this week's column from Dupuis on the response so far.)

Nearly three-quarters (74 per cent) said condo developers shouldn't be required to buy the passes, while the remaining 26 per cent supported the legislation.

Now, getting back to the holiday coverage bonanza (after all, time for decorating and shopping is quickly running out!), this week's poll asks whether you expect to be trimming the tree, wrapping gifts or arranging centrepieces up till the moment guests arrive? I know it's certainly my M.O.!
