DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com “It’s a simple thing, right?” That’s Nick Kouvalis – the marketing and campaign manager who helped Rob Ford win the mayor’s race in 2010 – on the trick to running a winning campaign for the top political job in Toronto, and arguably the highest-profile municipal
post in Canada. Getting that post routinely requires a war chest of more than $1 million and a commitment of all or most of a year to a political marathon that has defeated cabinet ministers, CEOs, city councillors and even former mayors as they vie for the hearts, minds and ultimately votes of almost three million Torontonians.

The finish line for the upcoming marathon campaign is a little over a year from now: Oct. 27, when Toronto voters decide on a new council and mayor. And rumors are swirling as to who is likely to run. Ford has indicated he will run, and New Democrat MPP Olivia Chow and Councillor Karen Stintz are said to be working on assembling campaign teams.
Former councillor and mayor David Miller-era budget chief David Socknacki said he is exploring a candidacy. And political observers are watching to see what radio host John Tory and councillors Shelley Carroll, Adam Vaughan and Denzil Minnan-Wong will do. At this point, Kouvalis doesn’t plan on being involved in any >>>RUNNING, page 13
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has agreed to reschedule and relocate its public meeting to Toronto in December to give local residents the opportunity to have their say on the GE-Hitachi nuclear fuel production facility on Lansdowne Avenue at Dupont Street. Originally set to take place in Ottawa in November, the commission is known to sometimes hold its proceedings in communities in which nuclear facilities are located, spokesperson Aurèle Gervais told The Villager, acknowledging Davenport MP Andrew Cash’s request of the commission to host its annual meeting in Toronto. “Taking this and Mr. Cash’s request into consideration, the commission agreed to reschedule its Ottawa public meeting in November to a December public meeting in the Toronto area, at a date to be determined, Gervais said. “A key agenda item for the meeting will be the 2012 report on the performance of nuclear fuel cycle facilities, which includes the Toronto GE-Hitachi facility as well as several other facilities from across Canada.” The public will get the opportunity to hear from commission >>>POLITICIANS, page 11
