If you can walk, Cathy Gareau will vote for you!

The showing of municipal, provincial and federal politicians in Saturday's Ukrainian Festival parade was telling. For the most part, members of various political parties who participated in the parade waved to the throngs from the safety of the back seat of cars — or marched together in packs.

There was one exception that decided my vote for one upcoming election. Toronto Mayor David Miller not only marched in the parade, he was dressed in uniform for the group he was with. He carried the Canadian flag.

And, last but not least, he was supporting a group of young people representing a social organization that they value enough to demonstrate in a parade. There was none of the "royal wave" stuff from Miller. In my books, he's a hero. He's got my vote.

Yeah, there's no way that letter was a plant... Anyway, do you think she would vote for Jane Pitfield if Jane had juggled in the parade? If that's what it takes to decide someone's vote, I pity the human race.
