Can't talk about the politics unless you talk about what "Toronto the Good" stands for. rasblue 22:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also wonder if we need to develop this page a bit more historically. After all, it was not that long ago that this city was quite conservative. Conservative MPs had seats in Toronto under Brijawndiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajan M, and may well do so again.

A historical progression is probly a better format for the article. However, as for the above point, Progressive Conservatives had seats in Toronto under Mulroney, and you may find that these were from the more Progressive end of the party. There's little doubt that there's some conservative elements to Toronto, but it's mostly Red Tory elements until you get fairly far into the 'burbs, where it changes up a bit. Anyways, it needs work here, for sure. I'll try and give it a look soon. WilyD 20:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unless we are going to say who these "experts" are, let us not claim that many experts claim that "many experts claim that Toronto is the most liberal city in North America." the sentence itself is meaningless, as it assumes one standard for liberalism.

Also, it is simply false to say that Toronto is much further to the left on the various issues described. Support for official bilingualism will find Toronto behind Moncton. I don't see that gay rights places Toronto much ahead of many much more rural communities - let us remember that Wolfville is represented by an openly gay MP - that is true of nowhere in Toronto. Also, in terms of support for NDP, Toronto is simply NOT ahead of the rest of Canada.
