The NDP machine here is still in serious disarray after last year's provincial election which say a good number of riding New Democrats bolt over to John Sewell's independent campaign. The riding association hasn't recovered and is not in a good position to run a federal election campaign. Stockwell Day will not play well with the riding's gay and lesbian community so the Liberals should keep this riding with ease. |

Look for an easy win here... though the Alliance could make some noises is the energetic and highly outspoken Brock Jones is the candidate. It would then be a very entertaining race. |

Brock Jones? I'm almost tempted to switch my residency from Kingston to my mother's place in Toronto just so I can vote against him:) That the CA had no choice but to give the nomination to Jones shows just how desperate they are to find candidates. (Brock and I go way back so my tongue is in my cheek here... but just a little:) |

This riding just got a little easier for the Liberals. Brock Jones will not be seeking the nomination here... |

I would have to agree with Andy Lehrer -- an easy win for Bill Graham, winner of "Best Toronto MP" in NOW Magazine's Reader Poll for 3 of the last 4 years. |

Right now it looks like the dullest contest here in ages, a disconcertingly snoozy cakewalk for Bill Graham--even a gay PC (and we're talking *federal* here, folks) don't cut the excitement mustard no more. Despite the Rosedale'n'condos base, PC & CA'll be chained at the ankles. NDP--strong provincially, but bittersweet provincially and federally (ground down by the PC-Lib squeeze play)--actually showed promise as a viable second-place second choice with ex-PC-minister-turned-Alexa-paramour David MacDonald's otherwise much-ridiculed '97 candidacy. But they, too, seem destined for nominality this time... |

A strong Liberal riding works for Graham, but it also works for the Hon. Paul Hellyer. Most Liberals seem to remember him in a positive light, and he's a vet with several trick up his sleve. Keep an eye on this riding in the last week, it should get interesting. |

Give your head a shake. Paul Hellyer won't get 2% of the vote. |
