Turning to Twitter for some new mayoral talent
One of the things that I've been hearing (and saying) a lot is how uninspiring the current crop of mayoral candidates are. Despite a plethora of debates, it seems that no one has really stepped up with a vision for the city that's captured the imagination of its citizens. George Smitherman and…
