This episode: what exactly did 2010 Toronto Mayor-Elect Rob Ford and his supporters say to 383,000 people to convince them to vote for him that other (angry?) voters didn't hear? Can we work with our City Hall to make sure those promises are kept and parallel ones are explored? How much "waste" or "theft" (doesn't somebody get the money?) is there anyway? What issues are lurking among millions beneath the surface? How do men and women handle it? How do they handle each other? What can we do?

Dan Arnold: One right-wing mayor wonât change Toronto forever
National Post | October 27, 2010
... Ford also has the rarest of qualities in a politician â he comes across as genuine. Because they saw him as a real person, voters looked past the shaky math and were willing to forgive his many, many, many shortcomings. Ford reminds me more and more of Ralph Klein with each passing day (right down to the incoherent red faced victory speeches), which is why he cannot be underestimated.
How George Smithermanâs dead-end run for Toronto mayor went wrong
John Lorinc | Globe and Mail | October 28, 2010
In late August nothing was going right in George Smithermanâs bid to become mayor. The papers were full of scandalous stories of Rob Fordâs arrest for drunk driving and drug possession, but his popularity only seemed to be growing.
... Garnering 383,501 of the 813,984 votes cast, Rob Ford is now a Canadian politician near the top in terms of popular vote.
Ford, 41, has won the largest direct election, with the most Canadian voters participating, than any other politician, in any other race â save former Mayor Mel Lastman who won back-to-back elections in 1997 and 2000.
