a referendum to impose it.

And that won, 25-18. But the province didn’t listen, and this week announced that despite Toronto’s second thoughts, a municipality can select its representatives using ranked ballots if council agrees.

No need for a referendum; just a vote of council.

And we’ll see how that goes when this inevitably comes before council again. I’m not optimistic that it will go any better.

A council chamber populated only by very popular councillors would not be the same one we have today.

It’s not to say that the 14 councillors and one mayor who couldn’t get 50 per cent plus one on the first ballot would all be gone; they might well have made it up in second and third-place choices.

But some, like vote-poor Ward 16 Eglinton-Lawrence Christin Carmichael Greb would have had a real challenge parlaying her 17.4 per cent of the vote into a majority.

But broadening her base of appeal, she might have. Who could say?

From a campaign strategist’s point of view, particularly one working for an incumbent, that uncertainty makes for a real problem.

Simply feeding one’s political base doesn’t ensure a lifetime in municipal politics under a ranked ballot system.

In fact, what it does do is ensure that simply catering to one vocal minority in a ward will pretty much guarantee defeat at the polls, because that leaves one a first choice of that minority, and a second choice for no one.

For politicians worried about their careers, that’s terrifying.

For voters and taxpayers, that’s empowering.

It’s a ray of hope.

the next municipal election in 2018.

The City of Toronto Act gives councillors a lot of leeway as they are actually only required to appoint if it is less than 90 days prior to the next municipal election.

There is no maximum amount of time left in a term that requires a byelection over an appointment.

The decision is at council’s discretion.

Given that there are more than two years left on this term, it seems clear that councillors should decide to call a byelection.

It’s the right thing to do.

Once called, the byelection must be held within 60 days of the seat being declared vacant. We look forward to a date for the Ward 2 Etobicoke North council seat taking place in late June or very early July.

That’s what’s best for democracy, the people of Etobicoke North and Toronto council as a whole.

You don’t want to make judgements on character based on a single vote or action – we humans are more complex creatures than just one vote and we do things for all sorts of complicated reasons.

But it’s hard to not draw some pretty firm conclusions about the character or at least motive of councillors who don’t support ranked ballot voting in Toronto.

The system, not currently in use anywhere in Canada but applied in countries throughout the world, allows voters to rank their choices on a ballot. If their first choice candidate fails to get more than half the votes, their second choice is counted instead. This goes on until some candidate or another gets half of the total first, second, third and quite possibly 15th-place votes.

The point is that only candidates who can appeal to half the voters in their jurisdiction get to be councillors.

In the last term of council, a majority of councillors voted to ask the provincial government to give Toronto the option to use ranked ballots rather than the first-past-the-post system that’s currently in place.

Then a couple of things happened. The first was the 2014 election. In total, 29 councillors were elected with more than 50 per cent of the vote, and 11 of those 29 were elected with less than 60 per cent of the vote.

Mayor John Tory had just 40.3 per cent of the popular vote.

The second was a late-night vote in 2015, when Ward 5 Councillor Justin Di Ciano, elected for the first time in 2014 with 54.1 per cent, put forward a motion to tell the province it didn’t mean what it said and was very happy with first-past-thepost system.

If the province puts the ranked ballot system in place, his motion said, Toronto should be able to opt out or require

Councillor partners with Peace Collective on an exclusive limited edition clothing line for charity

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

Norm Kelly, who in the last year or so has become a bit of a Twitter phenom, has been using his celebrity status for good.

Most recently, the Scarborough-Agincourt city councillor partnered up with Peace Collective, a Leslievillebased apparel company founded

by King-Bathurst residents Yanal Dhailieh and Lisa Diep, to raise funds for WoodGreen Community Services’ Newcomer Youth Settlement Program, which provides counseling, groups programs, workshops, an art club, sports events and trips for youth age 13 to 24.

It started late last year when the year-and-a-half-old “lifestyle brand with a philanthropic drive and civic pride engrained within its design” approached Kelly about working together on an exclusive limited edition “capsule collection” where 100 per cent of the proceeds would be directed to charity.

During a recent interview, Kelly, 74, who has been recently approached by three or four apparel companies to use his name and likeness, said he’s happy to work with Peace Collective as they have a serious marketing plan and are experienced in actually putting out a clothing line, not to mention the charitable component of what they do.

“I’m really grateful I’ve been able to direct a fair chunk of money to charities and organizations in Toronto,” said Kelly, who left the design of his namesake apparel line in Peace Collective’s hands.

“I’m hoping it sells out quickly and (Peace Collective) produces another run.”

The Norm Kelly capsule collection coincides with the launch of Peace Collective’s new video series, Canadian Built.

For Canadian Built, Kelly spent a few “freezing winter” days filming at various locations around town including the Toronto Islands, on the ferry, inside and outside Toronto City Hall, C Lounge, and Scarborough’s Guild Inn. What has resulted is a 5:31 clip that gives viewers an inside look into Kelly’s busy life, his work, his high-profile friendships, and his feuds and passions.

The aim of this project, which was officially launched March 28 and features Kelly in its first episode, is to highlight influential Canadians and inspire the community by sharing their story and perspective of what home means to them.

“Our goal is to create a platform to inspire the community and to showcase amazing individuals from very different industries,” John Molina, Peace Collective PR/marketing director.

@Parkdale_V

villager | insidetoronto.com

Kelly, who has 279,000-plus Twitter followers, said he would never have guessed he’d be so influential on social media when he first created his Twitter account just under six years ago.

“When I started Tweeting I couldn’t have told you what a successful Twitter account would look like,” he said.

A career politician who previous worked as a grad school professor and a high school teacher, Kelly said he welcomes the connections he’s made as of late with the social-media savvy types including rapper Drake also known as the 6 God. “I always enjoyed my time teaching young people. It was a positive experience,” said Kelly, who is also affectionately known as The 6dad.

“Twitter has reintroduced me to the younger crowd. … This reconnection has delighted me.”

Kelly went on to say that he admires the millennial generation.

“They’re going to face a very challenging world, far more than my generation did,” he said, adding he admires today’s youth for their flexibility, faith in themselves and their entrepreneurial spirit.

“They’re the leaders of tomorrow and I’m so pleased I’ve been able to engage them.”

Peace Collective, which is working to establish a charitable foundation, is always looking for more ways to engage the community through monthly events and other outreach efforts. The company also has Toronto and Canada apparel lines. For each piece sold, $5 is donated to Breakfast for Learning, an organization dedicated to helping Canadian communities to start and sustain school lunch programs.

The creamy white sauce was a layover from Kailey’s mother’s days as a vegan and a throwback to the Italy her mom had left behind when she was seven. But over time, the creamy cashew concoction became a pet project for both Kailey and her mother. “She and I had always been obsessed with cooking together, that was how we bonded and spent all our time,” says Kailey.

Mom’s Secret Recipe Earns Vegan Entrepreneur Fans Amongst Toronto Carnivores As Well No matter the occasion, a holiday or visit during spring break, Kailey Gilchrist knew that when she made that drive from university in Toronto back home to Barrie, she’d be greeted by a familiar smell – that secret family recipe, her mom’s cashew sauce. “She had been making this cashew sauce for years,” she says.

So when the theatre major went vegan, her mom followed suit and they took to evolving the cashew sauce into a vegan alfredo. It was a work in progress when her mother died. “I was finishing up my degree and cooking like crazy to deal with the grief,” she says. The rest of her time was devoted to working her job demoing products at a health food store. “And my sister was like ‘hey, you should sell some of the stuff that you’re making.’ ” It was an a-ha moment for Kailey. The entrepreneurial theatre major set out perfecting the sauce and launched NONA Vegan Foods, expanding to include two more vegan sauces – carbonara-style and cheesy-style. She’s grown from local, independent shops to over 50 stores including Loblaws and Whole Foods throughout Ontario especially the Greater Toronto Area.

To help launch her business, Kailey took advantage of groups like Enterprise Toronto and Futurepreneur, which Kailey received both a loan and mentorship from.“I’m blown away with how many resources there are in Toronto – all these little hubs and networking events and the little communities that just want to support small businesses,” she says.

Every Set

of Lost Keys

Has a Story “We lost our keys at a hockey game out of town, including our expensive-to-replace smart key for the car. Our War Amps key tag did its job when our keys were returned to us last week by courier, much to our relief.”

– War Amps supporter

The Key Tag Service – it’s free and it works. Nearly 13,000 sets of lost keys are returned every year.
