Another week, another poll suggesting Olivia Chow could take the Toronto mayor's seat in 2014. The latest study by Forum Research found Chow had 57% of the vote, down slightly from earlier in the year. The only way a campaign involving the NDP MP could fail, according to the stats, is if the opposition vote was split three ways. Chow still hasn't ruled out a run for mayor.

Yikes.

The Leslie Street stop on the Eglinton-Crosstown LRT is back on the map after Metrolinx reversed an earlier decision to nix the station. Under the old plan, the tunnel would have continued to Don Mills Road, bypassing Leslie. The station sequence is now back in the form that was originally approved by the province.
