TTC chair 'very ready' to become Mayor of Toronto

"My name is Adam Giambrone and I'm running for mayor!" Giambrone told the crowd of supporters at the Revival club on College Street. "As most of you have heard and read this last week - I'm also very ready!"

The party was also dogged by detractors - notably, about 20 protesters from his Ward 18 home turf, who waved signs outside and accused him of being out of touch with his own constituents.

I can't see the kid having a chance at all, frankly, given that he is up against Smitherman AND Rossi. I'm not sure his management of the TTC is much to brag about either. It's decades behind where it needs to be for the city and people seem fairly disillusioned with it.

Is he stepping down from his position at the TTC? He should as he's now in the running.

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about setting up my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks
