An awful lot of it was here's why we should be terrified of the other candidate, which actually brings me to a column that I've sent out to all of our pundits this morning and we'll talk about.

John MooreHOST

5:15

Jamie Watt is—it's hard to position Jamie Watt.

John MooreHOST

5:19

I mean, he runs—is it Valerie Pope? Who was it that was on the American TV series where she was the political fixer? You got into trouble.

John MooreHOST

5:32

As they used to say, if you're a political figure or a political candidate and you're caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, then you need a crisis manager.

John MooreHOST

5:43

Anyway, Jamie Watt is that.

John MooreHOST

5:44

But he's also been a very active political operative over the years in Toronto.

John MooreHOST

5:50

And he writes very thoughtful columns.

Brian LilleyGUEST

10:31

I'm not sure I would do it now.

And but I guess the tenor of the campaign is what Joe was telling me you wanted to touch on today.

John MooreHOST

17:58

So I would imagine that springs from Jamie Watt's column in The Star where he said that there is a lack of partisanship in Toronto.

John MooreHOST

18:06

And I don't see that.

John MooreHOST

18:08

I'm rarely out of alignment with Jamie.

Michelle MorrowPANELIST

Like, I know for my local councillor, we were having trouble with streetlights because my kids were almost getting hit by cars, and I called, and they were able to fix it.

Michelle MorrowPANELIST

25:37

And I love that there's that connection with municipality, and I really hope that people find that in their councillor and then use that to vote for them so it's not coming out of an, I hate this person, I want them to go down, that's why I'm not voting for them.

John MooreHOST

25:48

And, Pavan, the reason we're talking about tenor and tone is because of this column by Jamie Watt, who offers that he thinks in Toronto it's been very convivial.

John MooreHOST

25:58

Mostly, although I think maybe we're forgetting that debate two weeks ago where they practically set the room on fire.

Moore in the Morning

Hour 2- The Five Things You Need to Know, MITM’s Kitchen Cabinet with Former Federal Cabinet Ministers Lisa Raitt and Marco Mendicino- What Toronto’s mayoral race tells us about partisanship, Thirty-one year-old Sabrina Apitz-Grossman, who is suffering from rare form of cancer, and has been denied OHIP out-of-province funding and free for all round one.

OK, let's not talk politics because it's technically illegal.

John MooreHOST

8:55

But I do want to talk with you guys about Jamie Watts' column in the Toronto Star where he insists that there's a certain Oxfordian conviviality about Toronto politics.

John MooreHOST

9:04

Now, there certainly is here in the kitchen cabinet, but I'm not convinced of the core of his thesis.

John MooreHOST

9:10

Marco?
