Boardwalk Cafe owner is suing council candidate for libel

Such fuss over a place I'd never eat at anyway.

the boardwalk pub is such a lousy place. and they can afford to be lousy, they have no competition!

Thank you Mr. Baker!


It is about time we in ward 32 stand up and rid ourselves of ths disgusting excuse of a councillor. Bunny suit must GO!



I will be supporting Bruce Baker!

It is time we rid city hall of the likes of Sandra Bussin!

I wont be voting for Baker or Bussin. Bussin's record speaks for itself, but Baker's isnt pretty either. His campaign staff, mainly Jerry Boyle, are flooding online site like this and others with propoganda for Baker. Just google "Bruce Baker" and Boyle. Also Boyle was busted for posting under the G&M. He is a suburbanite meddling in a campaign for Ward32 and our mayoral race. Even when you look past his campaign members' antic, Baker's own platform is hallow. His transit platform is a joke, calling for some magical unity between local transit systems while ignoring the existant of a regional system called go. He actually calls for the assimilation of 27 municipal transit systems....and this from someone who supposedly worked on the TTC and saw the failings of forced amalgamtion first hand;

The man hires trolls, or has trolls working on his campaign and his views are out dated. Rather the devil you know..

Wow, so much passion in cyberworld, at least the voting public is finally "waking up".

These "special interest groups" are very highly trained and extremely persistent. We need to find a way to control them.

I feel most council members are honest, hardworking people, just that they have let outside influences take over their decision making process.

Rob Ford has been in the trenches, He will clean up that place.

Darren, I stand by my comment you are dumb. What Baker is saying is the GTA municipalities should band together to force the province or feds to pony up more cash for transit in the GTA. Not merging.

Here you go. He (or you) forgot to remove it from one page of his own website;
http://www.electbrucebakerward32.ca/ward32.html
"For that to succeed we need the new Council to establish a level of cooperation with the other 27 municipalities in the GTA. In the short term we need to replace the structure of the Toronto Transit Commission with experts in the transportation field, not just politicians aka a four year art degree, does not qualify someone as a transit expert..."

hahahahaha. 27 different municipalities??? No one and I mean NO ONE relying on the TTC to get around the city 7 days a week can give a rats behind on how anyone in say Bolton or Aurora get around. They are incompatable because the needs are incomptable. Each system provides a different service to what is essentially a different market

And your buddy Baker and the trolls who repeat that 'merge' line for him on line, like Jerry Boyle, dont know a thing about transit because they dont use it and in Jerry Boyle's case he doesnt even live in this city

Rabbi or is it Jerry Boyle,

Dont switch the topic. Him gettin sued are 2 different issues. He is an opportunist, with a horrible transit platform (even though he is now trying to change it), and he hired trolls like you to create scripted dilalogues on message boards and news articles wherever is his name is

Terry, while that may sound great in theory, the reality that I personally faced makes me believe otherwise. A campaign worker for Baker, who goes by the name of Jerry Boyle, has publicly stalked me online for just over a year now. This person lives in the 905 yet tries to infuence our city's electoral process, and his tactics are invasive and borderline illegal. Baker was made aware of his campaign worker's actions. After seeing first hand that type of actions I will never vote for Baker, even if it means splitting the vote.

Terry, in this day and age people do hire trolls to inflate their campaign's online presence. And unfortunatly this type of troll can be someone who gets his kicks by insulting others and following them around from news site to news site to spread his or her own message. And Baker has at least one staff who has done that for over a year. Its not paranoid to be aware of this.

Hello Darren

A great article on Bruce Baker

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/elections/article/869537--the-daily-plank

Darren - Not sure what you are rambling on about but I live in the Beach and do not work on anyones campaign. Drop by Starbucks on Queen and ask for Terry and lets talk. I am always there in the AM and on weekends.

The Toronto Star is THE mouthpiece of the looney left and socialists of Toronto. The support all sorts of loonies, including Sandra Bussin (as well as wonderful people like Kyle Rae, David Miller, Adam Vaugham, Giambrone etc etc). If the Toronto Star endorses someone......vote for someone else!!!!!

Terry, you dont live here and your name isnt Terry it is Jerry Boyle a suburbanite who works for Baker's Campaign

The trend is now towards McMahon, based on all the signage going up in my neighbourhood, and she has 3 weeks to earn my vote

My god, Darren what would you like to happen to Toronto? Shall we build a wall as the past Berlin wall was built, your hatred for 905'ers is so apparent and blantently appalling. You spew such anger and hostility, just for the fact that Bruce Baker is talking to 905 canditates for a seamless transit system within our city and working together with the 27 municipalities surrounding us. Why do you have a problem with this? And what is your REAL problem/issue with this or Baker? PLEASE explain! What if tomorrow you wake up after having a stroke ending up speechless/immobile and requiring Wheel Trans to visit family in the 905 area, and you need to rely on this service, yet you are being dropped off at Steeles Avenue (think winter!) and waiting to transfer to the wheel transit services offered (which vary throughout the 27 municipalities). OR are you that rich/established that you would never require or understand the absolute necessity of this service and just don't understand the importance these people who absolutely require and depend on these services? Many Torontonians/GTA residents desperately require this service as well as many seniors and those people with disabilities? Please answer my questions, I and I know they, (as I have relatives/friends who require this service) would be very interested in who you "the angry man" really is. Hmmmm. I have my thoughts.
By the way, my name is Lisa and I am a true supporter of Bruce Baker (no doubt and of course), for Ward 32 Councillor Beaches-East York. Please be more mature in your answer than you have been in the past postings, you are really not looking intellectual with your debates.
By the way, I found this website today, by google alerts for certain subjects. FYI this is my first comment on this site. I would appreciate to see your response, Darren?!!!

Darren, I am still waiting. hmmmmm. takes a while to respond intellectually doesn't it!
Why don't you try reading about EVERY candidate before making your decision. Are you that close minded? There is still just less than 3 weeks away....do your research. Maybe, just maybe give each candidate a phone call or why not talk to the the candidate directly? Who are you? So we cam have a one on one?
Lisa

Oh, and I have no desire to contact Bruce Baker directly. I already have had enough contact with his campaign worker Jerry Boyle who has followed me around for well over a year now on various blogs. Again, my views on Baker are based on the very same info he himself released as his platform. So your accusation of being closed minded couldnt be further from the truth. I am informed voter and will vote accordingly based on that information

Darren you are talking like a complete idiot. Lisa is correct when saying that Bruce Baker is the only candidate that has a chance of beating Bussin. He has been involved at city hall for the last 4 years and the other candidates have done squat. Mcmahon is a NDPer and the others dont even make the radar. If we want change in ward 32 we need to rally around one candidate and that should be the hard working Bruce Baker.

Your vote doesn't matter in the big picture anyway so cast it for whoever you want, Darren.

A candidate in Ward 32 withdraws to back another

McMahon just got backed by John Tory. Bussin can start packing from now. That will teach her to call in onto a radio station and try to hide her identity

The same guy writting the same view under different user names. Pathetic
