: I live in the small municipality of Saugeen Shores in Ontario. I see an interesting catch-22 situation in the upcoming municipal election.

There are nine seats on council: six ward councillors and a vice-deputy mayor, deputy mayor and mayor. If an incumbent ward councillor opts to “step up” for a mayoral position and fails, they are then denied a position on council. I cannot imagine anybody applying for a promotion in the business world, if they were cast aside for failing.

This year, only one mayoral position is being contested by one incumbent councillor. There seems to be no incentive for the best to rise to the top. I propose something entirely different. Elect six ward councillors plus three councillors at large. Now leave it to these nine councillors to elect a mayor and deputy mayor. There would be the best of the lot in all council positions.Can you settle a bet? I think John Tory’s refusal of televised mayoral debates is a travesty, using his incumbent status to coast on name recognition and avoiding candidate Gil Penalosa’s realistic but exciting visions for a thriving, modern Toronto.

My friend says that it’s good that Mr. Tory is not being televised during this election campaign, because it would give him a larger stage to misrepresent his accomplishments and allow him to sell middle-of-the-road pronouncements as big deals .
