From left to right: Donald Trump attends the April 2012 opening of the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto. Mayor Rob Ford is surrounded by media and supporters while making his way through the crowd during Ford Fest in Thomson Memorial Park on July 22, 2014.

Remembering controversial politicians DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com A businessman whose success stems from inherited wealth, whose opinion tends toward the blunt and controversial, and whose celebrity makes a populist-fuelled run for high office a real possibility.

Remind you of anyone?

If you said real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, congratulations: you’re alive on this planet in 2016.

If you said the late former Toronto mayor and councillor Rob Ford… well, congratulations too. You were around for at least some of the controversial mayor’s term of office, and may even remember his juggernaut campaign to win the mayoralty in 2010. And looking at both campaigns, six years apart, you might think these two campaigns are hitting many of the same marks — that Rob Ford’s 2010 decisive win against well-funded Liberal George Smitherman might provide instruction to Trump’s attempt to best well-funded Democrat Hillary Clinton. You might think that in August 2016. But really?

Nick Kouvalis, the Conservative pollster who took over Ford’s own faltering campaign in July of 2010, says it’s more complex.

There are some similarities — but there are key differences between Ford and Trump that could turn out to be deal-breakers, in almost every area. Here are five of them:

to help with small issues. “He did all the phone calls but he was specifically well-known as a guy not putting up with waste and mismanagement.”

2

The base. Kouvalis concedes that Ford’s base — the group of mostly suburban voters who eventually became known as Ford Nation — and the base of supporters attending Trump’s rallies come from the same source: “People who are just really pissed off. That’s sort of the same, people who can’t get ahead as hard as they work.”

One difference, though, is that Ford’s base was multi-ethnic; Trump so far has extended his appeal to mostly white voters, aided by consistently racist rhetoric. And that, said Kouvalis, is a mistake.

3

The Gaffes: Both campaigns have dealt with missteps and scandals, but Kouvalis says that

Trump is in a worse position because most of his problems arise from missteps on the campaign trail — insulting the Khan family, suggesting a judge with Mexican heritage was unqualified to rule on his case are two examples.

Ford’s problems — a drunk driving case from many years past in Florida, or a tape in which he appeared to discuss helping a supporter buy street-level OxyContin — were in the past. “People don’t care about things in the past. They do kind of care about things that are said in the moment.”

4

The Ground Game: On this, there is no comparison. Led by Kouvalis, Ford’s campaign team pushed hard to build a database based on Ford’s own records of phone calls he’d returned and, later, based on robocalls.

By election day, the campaign knew who their supporters were, where they lived, and how likely they were to come out and vote.

Trump, said Kouvalis, “has got nothing.

We’re talking about a national race. I just

1

The brand: As mentioned up top, both men are outsiders with private sector bona fides.

But where Trump is famous for living in gold-plated luxury and arrogantly firing those who don’t measure up, Ford spent a decade as a city councillor in Etobicoke, doing the opposite.

“He had 10 years at City Hall,” says Kouvalis, who notes that Ford was also famous for returning constituents’ phone calls and trying

don’t know how you can have nothing. Hillary Clinton has 700 paid staff in a building.”

5

The Competition: Here, Kouvalis says, there are similarities. While Trump is behind in nearly every poll, in former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he is facing an opponent who is well funded but historically unpopular among voters.

Ford was in similar circumstances, vis-àvis former Liberal Cabinet Minister George Smitherman. Kouvalis maintains that unpopularity pushed Ford’s support to 47 per cent — higher than anyone had expected. And he said that Clinton’s unpopularity could in the end be the one thing that might help Trump recover.

“He’s still got three months,” said Kouvalis.

“He doesn’t have to bring it back that much — he’s behind five points nationally and that’s nothing.”

What would Kouvalis advise Trump to do?

What Ford did in 2010: stay on message, listen to his advisors and never, ever ad-lib.

Do that, said Kouvalis, and the Republican campaigns downstream will start doing the groundwork that Trump’s campaign hasn’t yet begun. And ultimately? Take the lesson from Ford.

“Ford and Trump are different because Ford knew why he wanted to be the mayor and Ford was also willing to learn. He was humble and Trump isn’t. Trump knows what he knows and doesn’t want to ever admit that he doesn’t know something,” said Kouvalis. * In the days following this interview (conducted over August 22-23), Trump may have shown signs of following this advice, softening his position on immigration and attempting at least nominally to reach out to African American voters, and his standings in polls has improved. But as the late Rob Ford was wont to say — the only poll that counts is the one on election day. And that is still more than two months off.

Make the most of the unofficial end of summer

WRitE uS

T

oday marks the start of a new month and the unofficial end of summer.

And what a summer it was. Heat and humidty and long, sunny days. Patios packed with patrons, and pedestrians taking in the sights across our city and beyond.

The exceptional weather was an uncommon trend for Toronto, but one that was welcomed (mostly) throughout the last few months.

Plans are no doubt being made for the Labour Day long weekend. The weather appears it will cooperate, with sun and warmth showering most of the Greater Toronto Area.

The season’s change is no time be sad, though.

Instead, relish in the warm OuR ViEW weather expected.

Relish in one last great weekend New seasons with friends and family. Relish in the chance for one final road trip bring new before school starts.

There’s certainly no shortage of experiences things to do in Toronto.

The CNE is on until Labour Day and you can take in the 67th annual Canadian International Air Show as it soars over Lake Ontario.

The annual Labour Day Parade in Toronto takes place Monday on University Avenue.

GREaT LiViNG

If your weekend doesn’t include any social gatherings or last-minute excursions, just take the time to celebrate living in a great city like Toronto.

And just because summer’s ending, the fun doesn’t stop – it carries on throughout the year.

From walks to enjoy the fall colours, visits to the apple orchard to select the best fruit for some seasonal canning or baking, to skiing and skating, there’s lots to look forward to in the coming months.

For instance, the Toronto International Film Festival brings stars and movie fans from around the world to our city this month. There’s also Nuit Blanche in October, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in November and the 112th annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade also in November.

Then it will be a new year and not long after the season will change once again from fall to winter.

The goal is to change along with the seasons, finding beauty in everything that is around us, but most importantly in ourselves.

Scarborough-Rouge River misstep reveals PC party sex-ed rift Voters in Scarborough-Rouge River will be casting ballots today in the byelection to replace Liberal MPP Bas Balkisoon – and here’s hoping that by now most of them are clear on at least one key point: Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown is not planning on scrapping the controversial sexeducation plan introduced

by Kathleen Wynne.

Early voters – about 4,500 of them who voted in advance polls from Aug. 20 to 26 – can be excused for a bit of confusion. On the weekend, a letter went out from PC candidate Raymond Cho’s campaign, claiming Brown had a very different plan: that the PCs would, if they prevailed in the 2018 provincial election, scrap the whole thing.

On Monday, Brown was forced to clarify, and he did, in an essay published in the Toronto Star. “It was a mistake for a letter to go out to Scarborough-Rouge River voters saying I would

david nickle the city “scrap” the updated curriculum. This is not my view. This is not what I will do.”

What he would do, wrote Brown, is consult on future additions to the curriculum. The local campaign parsed those words, somehow, to mean that he would also get rid of what was there.

It’s a pretty big shift on the part of the ground campaign. Brown was, after all, on record firmly as supporting Wynne’s sex-education plan, in spite of protests from some parents who are fearful of its frank inclusion of subjects such as LGBTQ and trans-gender issues, masturbation, consent and contraception.

Such a shift might, indeed, convince some of those parents living in the riding to vote for

Progressive Conservative candidate Raymond Cho. Of course, Brown has made it clear that he doesn’t want votes on that basis. Based on his own leadership, it would be duplicitous, and it’s to his credit that he’s unwilling to win an election that way.

What this summer byelection misstep does show is what could remain an existential rift in the Progressive Conservative party heading into the main game in 2018: the gap between a socially conservative wing of the party, and the fiscally conservative, socially centrist wing that dominated during Bill Davis’ Blue Machine era last century and still held sway to a degree during the more tumultuous Mike Harris years in the late 1990s and early aught.

Ontario’s PCs have been in the middle of a tug of war since that time. John Tory tried and failed to achieve a mandate, pulling the party back to the

centre. Tim Hudak likewise failed to bring the party back to power by pulling much farther to the right.

Whatever the outcome of today’s byelection in Scarborough-Rouge River, Brown will have to decide how he will lead through the main game in 2018.

The Cho campaign in Scarborough-Rouge River (managed, it should be noted, by former city councillor and mayoral candidate Doug Ford) has made it clear that there may be an appetite, on the ground in Scarborough at least, for a hard-right, socially conservative pendulum swing.

And even if there’s not that much appetite on the ground…clearly, there is, as there ever has been, a powerful hunger within the party itself.

On that, there should be no confusion.

East York, Beach residents celebrate Olympic heroes DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s east end welcomed home its heroes in small-town style Sunday, with a parade of Olympians that marched through cheering throngs from the edge of East York to the heart of the Beach.

The star of the parade — 16-year-old sw immer Penny Oleksiak — stayed at the back, riding one of the vintage cars that carried her and other athletes from East Lynn Park on the Danforth down Woodbine Avenue to Kew Beach.

But she, like the others, basked in the adoration of neighbours who lined the route and crowded in Kew Beach Park to pay tribute.

Oleksiak made Canadian Olympic history at the Rio Oly mpics t h is su m mer, taking home four medals — gold in the women’s 100 metre freestyle, as well a silver and two bronze. The Monarch Park Collegiate student has won the most medals of any

Canadian at the summer Olympics.

Mayor John Tory spoke at the parade’s conclusion from the bandshell at Kew Beach

Park – and praised Oleksiak and other athletes not only for their stellar performance, but their character.

“I do want to say to all of

them how proud we are and how proud we were. And it’s not just how well they did in competing — it’s also how proudly they represented us

when we saw them on television, and I’m sure they did that too on the streets of Rio. It’s important to produce good athletes, but it’s most

important to produce good people.”

Oleksiak was joined by other athletes who’d competed in Rio — fellow swimmer Michelle Williams, beach volleyball player Kristina Valjas, gymnast Rose Cossar and two sprinters, Crystal E m m a nu e l a n d A l i c i a Brown. Olympians from past Olympics took part as well — including swimmer Elaine Tanner, who won silver in the 1968 Olympics at the age of 17, and earned the nickname Mighty Mouse for her fivefoot tall stature.

She waved a mouse plush toy at the crowd from the back of one of the classic cars that carried the athletes.

Mayor Tory announced at the parade that Sept. 7 has been declared Toronto Oly mpia n a nd Pa raOlympian Day in tribute to Olympic athletes.

The parade was organized by the Beach Business Improvement Area and the Danforth East Community Association.

I’m looking forward to my annual pilgrimage to the Canadian National Exhibition this weekend and, unfortunately, it’s become a journey filled with anticipation and dread.

The anticipation comes out of a sense of nostalgia for seeing many “old friends” at the fair, such as historic buildings and longtime exhibits or events, while the dread lies in knowing that I’ll be disappointed in what I will find there today.

It’s a sad fact that the CNE of today is a shadow of its former self, particularly if you remember the fair during its heydays during the 1950s and ’60s. In that period the fair was the focal point for not just Toronto, but the entire province.

People from all walks of life prepared for months for competitions, displays, sales and demonstrations and as a result, the fair was packed with people and events that made it a truly exciting place to be.

However, when Montreal

joe cooper watchdog hosted the 1967 World’s Fair with Expo 67, the CNE came to be seen as stodgy, old fashion and obsolete. Unfortunately, the unique heritage found at the CNE, both in terms of events and buildings, came to be viewed as a liability rather than an asset.

During the ’70s and ’80s, the CNE tried to become something different and it turned increasingly to corporations and their sponsorship for new ideas rather than letting the community to build and create the spirit of the fair as it had done in the past.

Attempts were made to be like Expo 67, but all that accomplished was to alienate people who came looking for the traditional CNE. By the time the ’90s came, many were wondering if the Ex had any future as the main focus had moved so far away from the needs of the community.

Today the real purpose of

Exhibition Park is to primarily serve the requirements of the corporate market as shown by the building of the National Trade Centre and the privatization of many of the historic buildings. Yes, the annual Exhibition is trying to re-kindle that old community-based spirit for a two-week period and it has been more successful at achieving that goal over the past few years.

Many of the old features of the Ex, such as the connection to our rural and community roots, have been returned to the fair. However, it’s also not hard to miss the fact many buildings are now in private hands. One has to ask the question as to why we were able to once hold the largest annual fair in the world when we were a small community, but can no longer do so now that we’ve become a large metropolis.

Man charged in stabbing on Danforth Avenue A man has been arrested and charged after another man was stabbed in the back on the Danforth Monday night.

Toronto police said officers were flagged down in front of the Shoppers Drug Mart near Danforth and Broadview avenues at 10:30 p.m.

“A 20-year-old man is found conscious and breathing but with a stab wound to the back,” Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu said.

The victim was taken to St. Mike’s hospital where he

underwent surgery and was listed in non-life-threatening condition.

Worldwide, only 25 per cent of galactosemic infants live past two weeks. For galactosemics, exposure to galactose creates a toxic build up in the body that can cause conditions including liver failure, brain damage and death. There is no cure for the metabolic disorder, inherited through carrier genes.

Treatment includes dietary management that keeps galactosemics alive, but doesn’t ensure their longterm health.

More research is needed to find why some galactosemics develop other related health problems, such as seizures, developmental disabilities or reproductive issues, while others don’t.

HOW METROLAND CHANGED THEIR MINDS

Since 1993, Teletime Superstore has been making a name for itself as the No. 1 place to shop for brand name consumer electronics and home appliances. “We weren’t using any flyer distributer before 2013 and we’ve noticed a huge difference in sales at all four locations thanks to Metroland,” says manager Jasdeep Atthi. “Our sales rep Wanda answers any questions or concerns we have and she walk us through the easiest ways to get things done.” When Teletime opened their fourth location in Markham, it was Wanda who suggested distributing in Scarborough and they weren’t surprised when more and more customers were coming in and mentioning the flyers.

King West to close for TIFF events The grumbles have already started with the announcement this week a stretch of King Street West will close for multiple days during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

The closure transforms King West between University and Spadina avenues into a pedestrian concourse, allowing moviegoers to stroll to the cinema without worry of cars or streetcars. King closes as of 5 a.m. Thursday, Sept.

8 and runs through TIFF’s first weekend. John Street will also close, between King and Wellington streets.

A Canadian senator attracted the ire of Toronto’s cycling community last week when she tweeted the newly installed bike lanes on Bloor Street had ruined traffic.

Nicole Eaton, appointed by the Conservatives in 2009, was incredulous city planners had the temerity

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT to add the lanes to Bloor, something she just couldn’t imagine for similar busy roadways like New York’s famed 5th Avenue.

Eaton, who has previously referred to Toronto as a “Third World country”, was righteously lambasted over social media for her comments. Some also pointed out 5th Avenue does indeed have a bike lane.

Perhaps all that criticism was getting to the poor Senator; her Twitter handle @SenEaton is no longer active. drIvIng kILLIng More peopLe wdIstraCted

Distracted driving has already overtaken impaired driving as the No. 1 culprit for road fatalities, but the margin of difference is wider than ever.

So far this year, the OPP says it’s investigated 38 fatal incidents caused by distraction compared to 19 in which an impaired driver was involved. Since 2009, when new legislation was enacted banning distracted driving, 600 road deaths have occurred due the actions of inattentive drivers. seeks BIke Lanes on Yonge wpetItIon

More than 1,400 people have signed an online petition to add bike lanes to Yonge Street.

The campaign, organized by Cycle Toronto, seeks protected lanes between the Waterfront and Bloor Street, which is currently under study.

The petition also wants the city to begin studying the potential for extending the lanes north from Bloor Street to Hwy. 401.
