Jack Layton makes Transit Announcement in Toronto… Just not Toronto-Danforth
Jack Layton made a transit announcement at Bathurst subway station — in his WIFE’s riding of Trinity-Spadina. 2 theories here:
1 — Olivia Chow and Jack Layton are terrified of Christine Innes, Olivia’s Liberal challenger in Trinity-Spadina.
2 — Jack Layton doesn’t want to hold any more events in Toronto-Danforth, given the tepid welcome with which he was received by the residents of Toronto-Danforth (I think I saw some signs — “Jack of All Ridings (Except Toronto-Danforth)” comes to mind). I mean, we’ve got several subway stations in Toronto-Danforth: Broadview, Chester, Pape, Donlands, Greenwood…
Talk about taking the voters of Toronto-Danforth for granted! Makes you wonder: Where’s Jack??

You are right on about Olivia Chow being terrifed about Liberal challenger Christine Innes. Christine is a lawyer an community activist. Olivia is following Jack’s lead and cancelling debates at the last minute. Not to mention the vandalism happening to election signs, etc. in Trinity-Spadina. It is getting UGLY in Olivia’s riding.
