Chow: We need to move people now. We need to move people faster. Rob Ford talked about subways for four years, but we don't have any yet and the environmental assessment hasn't even started. Had four years not been wasted by the starting and stopping, that line would have had above-ground train service by next year, and in time for the PanAm games.

"During this campaign, I am using social media very actively and in a less conventional way. I go to a lot of the youth ethnic associations, like a Tamil youth dance contest and events with Chinese student associations. Our city's problems don't need a top-down solution. It's really important for you to be engaged because this is your city. And being engaged with youth for me is not a one-time only. If you have ideas, my door is always open and has always been," Chow says.
