Is there a progressive choice for Ward 15?

With the retirement of long-serving councillor Howard Moscoe, there is a wide-open, incumbent-free race in Ward 15 the upcoming municipal election. (The boundaries of Ward 15 mostly correspond to the west half of the profincial/federal Eglinton-Lawrence riding, except where it dips south of Eglinton west of Wiona and north of it east of Winona).

So far, the local campaign has been very low profile. In fact, I received my first piece of campaign literature this week, from perpetual far-right fringe candidate Ron Singer, who has allied himself with the cringe-inducing policies of angry blowhard Rob Ford.

Is there a progressive candidate in Ward 15? Someone who will step forward and announce they are committed to a fair society, to transit, to the environment? Are they out knocking on doors? Will we hear from them at our doorsteps?

The election is going to be here sooner than we know it, so let's hope anyone courting the progressive voters in Ward 15 makes themselves known.
