In among the discussions over the impending future of rural communities such as the Jaymor targets of Port Credit and our own Sauble Beach, Dodge injects a fresh breeze of electioneering sanity come from, of all places, the place Bucky Fuller called the City of Tomorrow, our own big-smoke of Toronto:

"Across Greater Toronto, more than 40 candidates are mounting corporate-free campaigns to protest what they see as an improper relationship between developers and city hall. They say the widespread practice of using developer donations to fund municipal campaigns has led to bad planning, environmental degradation and soaring property taxes."
[ South Bruce Peninsular: Developer Free Candidates ]

Good to see there's at least a few working minds out there. Here too, while we have those who'd like to take us down that Port Credit road, we also, by the looks of how this election is unfolding, could have ourselves a very interesting municipal election indeed -- our local Town of South Bruce Peninsula seems poised and on a roll to elect a nearly 100% female town council! I bet that's gonna turn some heads.
