Opinion: Why all Canadians should care about who becomes Toronto’s next mayor (www.theglobeandmail.com)

It’s a common perception that Canadians love to trash talk Toronto, and most outside the city borders couldn’t care less about who wins the mayoral by-election on June 26. But if Canadian cities are to find a path to economic recovery in this global world, cities should care a lot about who becomes the next mayor of Toronto.

Sometimes showing up is half the battle. But a blank or spoiled ballot is still a form of a vote, a protest vote but still a vote.

I have no idea how make voters more informed however. Maybe they'll start paying more attention now that everything is going to shit? Outrage is a good motivator.

Maybe we should just put a “None of the Above” option on a ballot. Make it clear that you dislike everyone.
