Imagining Toronto with new mayor Chow - Some citizens have come to Olivia’s office to have their noses wiped by city staff :-)

Bike lanes on the Gardiner? Statues of Jack Layton in every park? All ’round the sounds of gender neutrality, cultural sensitivity and tree planting. Mall Santas must chant “he-he-he” instead of “ho-ho-ho” so as not to offend hookers.

There’s no mayor’s office, per se. The sign says “Olivia’s Babysitting Service.

The place is packed, like sardines on a TTC bus, as Ms. Chow is fond of saying. (She has named several sardines to public posts, but in the new spirit of inclusiveness, has added herrings, smelts and even a halibut.

Some citizens have come to Olivia’s office to have their noses wiped by city staff, some to pay their $10,000 vehicle registration tax.

Outside City Hall, in Jack Layton Square, tree planting is in full swing. “She wants us to plant a million of ‘em,” says a bright-eyed man, patting down the rootball off a spruce. Is that you, Warren Kinsella?!

    • Toronto SUN? 这不过是借NDP的名恶意打压，邪恶化少数族裔候选人而已，奇怪的是有那么多同类竟然附和， -3hohoho(hohoho); 2014-9-2 (#8962669@0)
      • 打“族裔"牌是绝望的表现，理性地看，候选人的党纲比种族和肤色更重要 -alaabracadabra(AlaAbracadabra); 2014-9-2 (#8962732@0)
        • 是这边的游戏规则，犹太人，黑人，西语人等等都这样玩的，玩的让人不讨厌，需要技巧。。。酱紫。 -hotmoon(梵高的耳朵); 2014-9-2 (#8962738@0)
          • 肯定要背靠自己的种族的，毫无疑问，可是她没有一点象我们啊。 -3662930(aveeno); 2014-9-2 (#8962745@0)
            • 哈哈。。。我都没看英文，只就AlaAbracadabra的发言发表意见。关于邹，因为我没关注她的言论，不敢断言她是不是和一些香港人一样，如果她想要大陆移民的选票，大陆移民可以直接问她。我因为franchise law ，旁听了某党的一个小会，让我挺失望的。。sigh. -hotmoon(梵高的耳朵); 2014-9-2 (#8962769@0)
              • 你不觉得她的思路离我们移民太遥远？种族的内涵不是肤色，而是价值观和内在的精神。 -3662930(aveeno); 2014-9-2 (#8962774@0)
                • 的确不了解她的思路，她的义工呢？ -hotmoon(梵高的耳朵); 2014-9-2 (#8962778@0)
          • 同是NDP，为什么JACK LAYTON没有像CHOW这么样被取笑？ CHOW该自己找找原因，是否功课做的不够？ 群众的眼睛也是雪亮的，如果NDP是人民的大救星，大家会看清的，如果大家看不清，那就再多发点光出来！ -alaabracadabra(AlaAbracadabra); 2014-9-2 (#8962760@0)
            • 这说的有道理。 -hotmoon(梵高的耳朵); 2014-9-2 (#8962779@0)
      • 你确认她是我们的同类？除了肤色连长相都不象我们了。相由心生。 -3662930(aveeno); 2014-9-2 (#8962741@0)
      • 原文也写了 Tory， Ford 当市长会是怎样， 不妨看看全文。我喜欢这句 Some citizens have come to Olivia’s office to have their noses wiped by city staff :-) -fallingfromsky(异想天开 ); 2014-9-3 (#8962886@0)
