Toronto’s billion-dollar budget shortfall, and a bad case of tunnel vision

We’re in the heart of mayoral campaign debate season (I watched four in two days at the end of this week, and I’m moderating one next week). And we’re entering the beginning of lawn-signs and TV ads season.

Is anyone paying close attention yet?

People in my world of political junkies are, of course. But out there in the great wide city, I’m not as sure. I’m still getting questions about who’s running (a whole lotta people), or when election day is (it’s June 26), or whether John Tory is running again against Olivia Chow (well, see — no, he’s not).

I get the sense Toronto is sleep walking into Chow.
