Poor Jack. Look at him- well spoken, totally likeable, handsome...it seems that no matter how much of superstar he is, he just can't get the votes for the NDP. If you've been following the campaign at all, no matter what your political leanings, you'll agree that Jack's performance thus far has left the other contenders in the dust. He's always on message, composed, articulate- even funny.

Look at him here- riding the beleaguered TTC with his wife and fellow NDP candidate at his side. Ironically, the NDP is a lot like the TTC; people know that the TTC offers solutions to many of problems associated with city life. Traffic and air quality would be vastly improved if the TTC had more support and could provide a more robust service model. But sadly, like the NDP, the TTC does not receive the support it deserves and our health and quality of life are diminished as a result. To our peril, we continue to starve the public transport system of the largest city in the country. Unfortunately, we treat the NDP with the same disdain. Despite Jack's obvious leadership abilities, it seems that we will likely continue to partake in electoral practices that will hurt us in the long run.
