Coming June 10th: this ain't the Rosedale debate.
What it *will* be is an opportunity for the candidates running in ward 27 to show that they know their stuff: about the ward, about the city, about the municipal government, and about the people they want to represent.
And so we present #voteTOin27: So You Think You Can Council, in which candidates will have to work with and against each other in a series of game show–inspired challenges that test their civic knowledge and comprehension. In a gay nightclub. [smiley face]
And now... an obligatory list of ward 27's awesome, diverse neighbourhoods: the Church-Wellesley Village, the Garden District, Ryerson, Upper Jarvis, Yorkville, and of course Rosedale.
#voteTO is a collective of progressive young people who wanted to endow the virtual body of the Twittersphere with a real-world political presence. So far they have been reasonably successful.
#VoteTO: Twitter, Facebook, web.
Hosted by Maggie Cassella and featuring a performance by Bruin Pounder of BoylesqueTO!

Thanks to the Ward 27 candidates; Fire on the East Side, and Fly nightclub.
