This past year, Torontonians were serenaded with a cacophony of the same message.  Toronto's finances are a mess.  Four out of the five major candidates for mayor tripped all over themselves to tell us every chance they got how out of control Toronto's finances were.  The other candidate, the one who ought to know best, Joe Pantalone the deputy mayor ran on a platform of staying the course.  The city is going in the right direction, he said.  Unfortunately for Joe, and others who think the city was moving forward, the 4 candidate echo-chamber on the right set the tone for the entire election.
