The main contenders Jane Pitfield, Mary Fragedakis, Jennifer Wood
NOW’s pick Mary Fragedakis
This is the seat vacated by dinosaur Case Ootes, whom Pitfield deems her closest council friend from her last stint at the Hall. To jog the memory, it was Pitfield who tried to topple David Miller last time. Back then, she was toasted by rabid Harper minister Peter Kent and favoured a tax freeze and incineration. Now she’s had an epiphany – poof, she’s your community candidate. Fragedakis, an anti-big-box activist, has Jack Layton’s nod and wants more bike lanes, trees and Transit City. Some of this doesn’t differ too much from what Pitfield’s saying, but, get real, who you gonna trust? Wood, a lawyer for RBC, boasts volunteer work and Liberal party backing. Could be the spoiler.
