The motto on the crest of North York’s John Polanyi Collegiate Institute is
“scientia est potentia,” Latin for
“knowledge is power”.It’s a message two-time Nobel
Prize winner John Polanyi urged students to embrace at Friday’s official opening of John Polanyi Collegiate Institute, named in his honour.
“I think it’s extraordinary that anybody would choose this dif-ferent and obscure name for this school,” he laughed. “I’m thrilled.”

Premier Dalton McGuinty was in North York last month at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre’s Odette Cancer Centre. On Monday, he resigned as premier.
LISA QUEEN [email protected]
A pair of North York MPPs said they were completely surprised by Dalton McGuinty’s resignation announce-ment on Monday.
“There was a sense over the next while the premier would consider his options but it came on very suddenly,” Willowdale MPP David Zimmer said.
He said the Liberals’ minority gov-ernment has resulted in “gridlock” in the legislature, with the opposition parties making it clear they would block McGuinty’s proposed public sector wage freeze legislation.
“Essentially, the business of government has ground to a halt because the opposition parties are in full combat mode,” Zimmer said.
He pointed out that, like McGuinty who has suspended the legislature, Prime Minister Stephen Harper pro-rogued Parliament in early 2010 and soon after won a majority govern-ment.
Because the legislature always closes down in late November or early December until mid-January, proroguing it now means it will be suspended for only about six weeks, Zimmer said.
Don Valley East MPP Michael Coteau said he was surprised by McGuinty’s announcement and is looking forward to a good list of candidates from both inside and outside caucus to help renew the party.
He said will be looking for a leader to strengthen the government’s rela-tionship with public sector workers, bring in a rural strategy, and focus on education.
York West MPP Mario Sergio and York Centre MPP Monte Kwinter could not be reached for com-ment.
Local MPPs express surprise
McGuinty resignation: North York names surface in leadership talk
LISA QUEEN [email protected]
Premier Dalton McGuinty’s stun-ning resignation Monday during an emergency caucus meeting has opened the door for North York pol-iticians David Caplan, the former MPP for Don Valley East, and Don Valley West MPP Kathleen Wynne to contemplate leadership bids for the Ontario Liberal party.
While Caplan, who didn’t run in last fall’s provincial election, called suggestions about his entry into the leadership race “speculation,” a Liberal source told The Mirror Caplan began testing the waters after McGuinty made his surprise announcement Monday evening.
“He will be a formidable candi-date,” the source said, emphasizing Caplan has many positive qualities to offer the party.
Caplan told The Mirror he has been approached since Monday night by several people who asked if he’s interested in leading the Ontario Liberals.
Saying he hadn’t thought about the prospect until others raised the issue, Caplan said a possible leadership run is “speculation” at this point but he will think about the idea.
“It’s all very fresh. There have been no plans (to run), but it’s a new world and it is something that people are contacting me (about),” he said Tuesday.
“I’m listening. I’m not jumping
out ahead and making any pro-nouncements, but I’m listening.”
Now is the time to recognize the “phenomenal” job McGuinty has done leading the party since 1996 and serving as premier for nine years, Caplan said.
Caplan is an experienced politi-cian from a long-standing political family. In 1997 he was elected to the seat formerly held by his mother, Elinor Caplan, who had served as a minister provincially and fed-erally. David Caplan himself was appointed to cabinet, first as the minister of public infrastructure
renewal, after McGuinty swept to power in 2003. He became health minister in 2008. Caplan resigned his post in 2009 in the wake of the eHealth scandal.
Wynne was unavailable for com-ment, her press secretary Kelly Baker said.
However, her name is being widely circulated among a list of candidates rumoured to be consid-ering a run for the leadership.
Others include Health Minister Deb Matthews, Children and Youth Services Minister Eric Hoskins, who represents the Toronto riding of St.
Paul’s and is the former president of War Child Canada, Toronto Centre MPP and former Winnipeg mayor Glen Murray, Energy Minister Chris Bentley, and Finance Minister Dwight Duncan.
In turn, McGuinty’s name has been floated as a possible con-tender for the federal Liberal lead-ership.
First elected to Queen’s Park in 2003, Wynne is currently Ontario’s municipal affairs and housing minister and previously served as education minister and transporta-tion minister.
David Caplan, Kathleen Wynne mentioned
The man murdered in a North York apartment building early last Thursday has been identified as 24-year-old Henry Pratt.
On Friday, police posted a YouTube video in which lead inves-tigator Det. Robert North made an appeal for witnesses.
“I’m reaching out to people out there in the hopes that there are witnesses who can come forward and assist us in our investigation into the murder of Mr. Pratt,” North said in the video.
“We would like involvement from the community.”
Pratt was murdered at 25 San
Romanoway, northeast of Jane Street and Finch Avenue.
H e w a s pronounced dead at the scene.
Pratt is the c i t y ’s 4 1 s t murder victim of the year.
Anyone with informa-tion is asked to cal l the
homicide squad at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

It’s Saturday night in Canada, minus the fever
Transit must remain priority for new leader
I wrote this column last Saturday night. At least I think I did.
To tell you the truth, I’m not absolutely certain, because it sure didn’t feel like Saturday night. It felt more like a Tuesday night or a Thursday night.
Oh, the calendar said it was Saturday, alright. In big, bold letters.
But how could it be Saturday night if there was no NHL hockey? How could it be Saturday night if there was no Hockey Night in Canada? How could it be Saturday night if Don Cherry wasn’t ranting away on Coach’s Corner?
Nope, there had to be a mistake on the calendar. Or maybe I was looking at a calendar I don’t understand, such as the Mayan calendar.
And what was I doing looking at a calendar in the first place?
You don’t have to do that in Canada to know if it’s Saturday night or not. You can feel Saturday night in
your bones. You can feel the chill of Saturday night up and down your spine. You can feel the hustle and bustle of people heading to the game or their favourite bar to catch the action on giant screens. You can feel families huddled around their TV sets at home. You can feel truckers on the highway glued to the games on their radios. You can feel the sound of scalpers on the corner outside the arenas.
You can feel all the magic of Saturday night in the air wherever you go. And you feel that magic the moment you wake up Saturday morning.
That’s why I’m having so much trouble understand-ing the current NHL lockout.
By cancelling the first two weeks of this season, that means two Saturday nights without the Saturday night feeling. And the cancel clock is ticking.
Where is the upside for the league in denying Canadians their Saturday night passion? While it’s true only seven of the 30 NHL teams are based here and that more and more play-ers are coming to the NHL each year from outside of Canada, make no mistake, Saturday night in Canada is the foundation upon which the league is built. Why mess with a good thing?
It’s not the first time the NHL has skated down this rocky road, either.
A lockout in 1994 resulted in a shortened 48-game season, which meant fore-going a bunch of Saturday nights. In 2004 the entire season plus playoffs was scuttled, which meant sac-rificing an even bigger block of Saturday nights.
An NHL players strike in
1992 resulted in just one lost Saturday night, but even one lost Saturday night is one too many.
The assumption is, of course, that fans will come crawling back when the NHL is playing again. But what happens to the NHL if the Saturday night feeling doesn’t return?
So as the owners and players waste precious time arguing about which of their respective inputs is more important to the league’s sweet $3.3-billion league revenue pie, it seems they’re ignoring a third party whose role is just as criti-cal to the success of their hockey empire: Saturday night. A party whose worth one can’t possibly attach a dollar figure to, because it’s priceless.

but seriously
To the editor:I have a thought of a
great way to pay for transit in Toronto.
Why not designate all of the money generated by the parking control officers, with their numer-ous books full of tickets, to fund transit.
PENALizE DRiVERs
If council wants to penalize the owners of cars, delivery trucks and other vehicles belonging to people trying to con-duct legitimate business off of the inner city roads, why not?
Surely the substantial financial haul that pours daily into the city hall coffers can be rerouted toward this essential ser-vice.
Chris Belfontaine
Parking fine revenues should pay for transit
Dalton McGuinty’s announcement Monday night that he is stepping down as Ontario’s premier and proroguing the provincial legis-
lature has opened a number of interesting scenarios for Toronto’s many Liberal MPPs.
Say what you wish about the timing of McGuinty’s move, Toronto residents can expect a number of their provincial representatives to be serious con-tenders for the Ontario Liberal Party’s leadership.
Toronto has been good to the Ontario Liberals, showing them strong support in the last three provincial elections. After majority government wins in 2003 and 2007, the Liberals formed a minority govern-ment in 2011 and would not have done so without Toronto’s backing. More than a third of the Liberals 53 seats at Queen’s Park belong to Toronto MPPs.
We have strong political influence in the party, and that will be reflected once the race to replace McGuinty heats up.
Part of McGuinty’s legacy is transit. He created the provincial transit authority Metrolinx with the mandate to build and fund transit across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
Whoever replaces him must continue to make transit in the GTHA a priority. Any MPP from Toronto will clearly understand the importance of the transit file, and it should be a major plank in the campaigns of those running for the party’s leader-ship.
Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Tim Hudak was at Toronto City Hall Tuesday morning to talk transit at a meeting scheduled before McGuinty made his announcement. He will be making transit and traffic gridlock a key issue when we do get a pro-vincial election call, presumably sometime after the Liberals pick their new leader.
Flanked by a number of city councillors including Mayor Rob Ford’s brother Doug, Hudak looks as if he’ll have no problem working with the Ford admin-istration at city hall.
McGuinty was also able to work with Mayor Ford. In a statement on McGuinty’s decision, Ford said, “While we had different political views on some issues, Mr. McGuinty and I always had a very good working relationship as mayor and premier.”
Maintaining that good working relationship with Toronto’s mayor will be crucial for whoever is chosen as the Ontario Liberal Party’s next leader.

Lawrence Avenue east of Allen Road came on John Polanyi Day, declared by Toronto City Council.
“The only thing that lastingly changes anything is the voice of reason,” he told students and staff packed into the audito-rium and others in the cafeteria watching a live feed.
In addition to winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1986, Polanyi was the founding chair-person in 1960 of the Canadian Pugwash Group, part of the Pugwash International move-ment, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.
The organization promotes peace and condemns armed conflict, including nuclear arms.
The only Nobel Laureate working in Canada, Polanyi is a Companion of the Order of Canada, a member of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, the author of more than 100 scientific papers, co-editor of the book The Dangers of Nuclear War, the recipient of more than 30 honorary degrees from six countries, and a professor of chemistry at the University of Toronto.
He is also the founder of the Canadian Committee of Scientists and Scholars, the Royal Society of Canada Committee on Scholarly Freedom and winner of the Wolf Prize in chemistry, and the Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for science engineer-ing.
Before he took the stage, Polanyi was introduced by sci-ence teacher Ileana Kahan, who recalled being Polanyi’s student at the U of T in 1973.
“I remember really enjoying Dr. Polanyi’s class very much. He motivated me to work hard and do well,” she said.
Although Polanyi was already a renowned scientist, he was approachable and friendly with
students, Kahan added.Polanyi charmed the students
with tales of his school days.Born in Berlin to Hungarian
parents, the family moved to England when he was four.
The first English word he learned was “kindergarten,” which Polanyi acknowledged is a German word.
“It (attending kindergarten) was the high point of my educa-tion, actually,” he laughed.
Because there was no curricu-lum and students could explore things they were interested in, Polanyi compared kindergarten to doing basic research.
It didn’t hurt that the kinder-garten teachers were women, “my favourite sex,” he joked.
“Kindergarten was a joy, it was a liberation, to which I look back very fondly.”
Later, Polanyi attended board-ing school.
“Things became very Harry Potterish,” he said to applause from the students.
He remembered his report cards cautioning his parents that he could do better if he tried.
“I found that surprising because I thought I was trying, in
every sense of the word,” Polanyi laughed.
He did begin trying harder in school and won a scholarship to Manchester University. He later did postdoctoral research at the National Research Council in Canada and at Princeton University.
Polanyi spoke of the ground-breaking work being done by sci-entists at Manchester University and his later work in the field of chemical reactions, adding he believes teachers are crucial to students’ success.
“Teachers are very important. They tell you what questions are worth asking and give you the courage to ask,” he said.
Winning a Nobel Prize was not something he set out to do, Polanyi said.
“Nobody but an idiot sets out to win a Nobel Prize. What you do is set out to make a discov-ery,” he said.
Asked after the assembly what he wanted students to learn from his presentation, Polanyi said he wanted the students to embrace his message of peace.
“The future of the world depends on people like them set-
tling their differences by debate. What they learn in this school is to argue things out rather than fight things out. It is a vital lesson.”
The lesson is made more com-plicated by the many cultural dif-ferences the students represent.
The school opened in September 2011 and now has more than 550 students. It offers students the Rotman School of Management Integrated Thinking (i-Think) Leadership program and SMaRT Program (Science, Math and Robotics Technology) program.
Eglinton-Lawrence Trustee Howard Goodman said the school community asked the school to be named after Polanyi because it wanted to inspire stu-dents and staff with a role model of excellence in science who is dedicated to global social justice, peace and disarmament.
The school used to be Bathurst Heights Secondary School up until 10 years ago. Since Bathurst Heights closed, the building had been used by the school board as a training and development centre until the opening of John Polanyi C.I. last year.

BREAKING THE PLANE (AND THE LOSING STREAK): Kyle Exume scores a touchdown for the York Lions as they face the University of Toronto Varsity Blues in the annual Red and Blue Bowl at Varsity Stadium Saturday after-noon. York, thanks in part to Exume’s three touchdowns and 132 rushing yards, defeated Toronto 36-24. It’s the first time in five years that York has won the annual match between the two Toronto universities. At left, Myles Gibbon heads upfield.

The Toronto Botanical Garden is in trouble, according to its administra-tors, and needs another $135,000 a year to stay afloat.
“I don’t think it’s news to anyone to know that it’s been a hard slog to raise money in the not-for-profit sector,” said Aldona Satterthwaite, following a meeting of the city’s Parks and Environment Committee where she spoke Monday morn-ing. “Funding shortfalls are hitting foundations as well, and those deep pockets aren’t as deep.”
Satterthwaite was speaking at the committee meeting, making a pitch to increase the city funding received by the horticultural centre by more than 500 per cent. Currently, the group receives a grant of $25,000 a year – in addition to in-kind support valued at $175,000, in foregone rent, electricity and snow removal.
The rest of the $1.7 million budget is raised through donations. Satterthwaite told the committee that the facility has come up short. This year, she said they had to make up the difference by cutting salaries of senior staff by 20 per cent.
But ongoing, she said they needed more subsidy.
She came with the support of local Don Valley West Councillor Jaye Robinson, who pointed out that while the gardens are in her ward, they truly belong to the entire city.
“This is Toronto’s only botanical garden,” said Robinson, and refer-ring to a small crowd of supporters in the room, added, “The rest of these people aren’t my constituents. They’re yours. The people who par-ticipate in this wonderful organiza-tion come from across Toronto.”
The committee was sympathetic – but offered a range of options to explore with the group besides simply granting money. Ideas ran the gamut from looking at ways to charge more fees, to one idea from Scarborough Southwest Councillor Michelle Berardinetti, to offer up landscaping services to homeowners looking to redo their own gardens.
The matter of the funding increase will, however, be decided by the city’s budget committee. Robinson was not optimistic that the budget committee would approve the entire request.

They bring music to both happy and sad events. They entertain everyone from royalty on a red carpet to kids seated on a curb.
And on Saturday, the Toronto Police pipe band commemo-
rated its 100th anniversary during the annual police games at the Rogers Centre.
The band has 83 members though only 18 are members of the police force. A handful are retired police officers.
“The majority of the pipe band are civilians from all walks of life: doctor, dentist, photog-
rapher, students, teachers, lawyers,” said Staff Sgt. Robert Skinner, the band’s manager and drum major.
The band participates in about 200 events per year, rang-ing from funerals to parades.
“The ones we’re most notice-able for every year are the Toronto Santa Claus Parade,
the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, parades at Remembrance Day,” said Skinner, a 32-year veteran of the police service. “We play at a lot of police retirements, special dinners, the opening of any conferences that we’re running.”
The band plays at funerals for police officers, both active and
Community
Toronto Police pipe band commemorates 100 yearsretired. “We were also the band last year for the state funeral for Jack Layton,” Skinner said.
Two years ago, the band was within 15 feet of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at the running of the Queen’s Plate.
“We finished playing just before they came out,” recalled Skinner. “Her Majesty came out on the red carpet to present to the winner of the Queen’s Plate. But she just very politely looked to her left and acknowledged the band with a little nod of the head and a wave as we were saluting.”
Skinner, who has been with the band for 23 years, also recalled a trip the band made to Stone Mountain, Georgia for a Highland
Festival in the early ’90s when the Blue Jays were playing the Atlanta Braves for the World Series.
“We started with the Tomahawk Chop that they use in Atlanta for the Atlanta Braves and then we went into Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and I can tell you the reception that we got from the crowd was absolutely incredible.”
Pipe bands have a long-standing tradition with the police and the military, going back to the early days of Scotland.
“The pipe band has taken me to France, Bermuda, all through Canada, United States,” Skinner noted. “I look at it as an extension and part of a community outreach in the police service.”
The Toronto Police Service Pipe Band, cel-ebrat ing i t s 100th anniver-sary, performs at the Police Games at the Rogers Centre Saturday. The annual event benefits the Toronto Police Widows and Orphans Fund.

Departing Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty did act positively to improve transit over his time in office, said the former head of the TTC.
But Adam Giambrone, responding to the premier’s Monday night resigna-tion announcement, said McGuinty’s inability to provide stronger leadership on transit ultimately casts
a long shadow over his suc-cesses.
“From a transit perspec-
tive, he could have been firmer,” said Giambrone,
who worked with McGuinty on the Transit City light rail plan, in an interview Tuesday.
“He did champion good public policy, he did move the (transit) file forward. But he didn’t always follow through, and it’s unfortu-nate he didn’t show more leadership.”
Giambrone, who chaired the TTC from 2006 until 2010, was critical of McGuinty’s decision to not restore provincial operational funding to the TTC – which was scrapped by Progressive Conservative premier Mike Harris back in 1995 – and for allowing Mayor Rob Ford to scrap

Transit City following his 2010 election victory.
“He backed away from Transit City,” said Giambrone.
The project was ulti-mately restored by Toronto council this year, but the delay has pushed back the completion of the lines to 2020 at the earliest.
While praising McGuinty for his sincere desire to improve transit, Giambrone said the premier failed to come up with a sustainable funding strategy for the ambitious Big Move plan, which was adopted in 2008 and promised $50-billion worth of transit expansion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) over the next 25 years.
But with funding ques-tions still unresolved, the plan is in danger of never being fully realized, said Giambrone.
“There’s no real Big Move as long as there is no long term funding plan,” he said.
Metrolinx, the transit planning agency created under McGuinty, was expected to report back to the premier for June 2013 on an investment strategy to fund the Big Move.
A spokesperson for the agency had no comment on McGuinty’s departure, but did say in a written state-ment that work on the plan was proceeding without interruption.
“We don’t have a statement regarding the premier’s resignation. It’s business as usual for Metrolinx. We have $16 billion worth of projects with shovels in the ground,” wrote Malon Edwards, a
media relations specialist for the agency.
Mitzie Hunter from the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance, a group calling for full funding of the Big Move, said McGuinty was pivotal in bringing about transit improvements set to be completed in the next few years, including the revital-ization of Union Station and the Toronto-York Spadina Subway extension.
“We’re pleased to see investments being made,” said Hunter, CEO for CivicAction.
She said she was confi-dent work would continue on the Big Move, regardless of who McGuinty’s succes-sor is.
“I have not spoken with a single politician who has said there’s no need to improve transit in the region,” she said. “People are fed up with gridlock.”
One of McGuinty’s politi-cal opponents had few kind words for McGuinty’s transit achievements.
Provincial NDP member Jonah Schein was especially critical of the decision by the Liberals to build an air rail link between Union Station and Pearson International Airport in time for the Toronto Pan American
Games, which would see a sizeable increase in GO diesel train traffic running along the Georgetown South rail corridor.
The plan has been widely opposed by residents living along the corridor, who fear the increase in carcinogenic diesel fumes will lead to significant long term health issues and want the line electrified.
Metrolinx is currently studying the feasibility of electrifying the air rail link, but the provincial government has already announced no decision will be made until after the line opens.
Schein had introduced a private member’s bill calling for electric trains to run on the air rail link immediately upon its opening in 2015, and a debate was scheduled in the legislature at Queen’s Park this week.
But the decision by the premier to prorogue the legislature – which accompanied his resigna-tion announcement – has shelved the matter indefi-nitely.
“We were quite optimistic that we were going to get support from a majority of members,” said Schein of his bill.
He said that decision and others show McGuinty has failed to improve transit over the course of his three terms as premier.
“We’re 20 years behind, and the government has had 10 years to work on it,” said Schein, who represents Davenport.

With Halloween just around the corner, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is urging Torontonians to learn to raise the dead.
The foundation teamed up with the Toronto Zombie Walk for a tongue-in-cheek campaign dubbed The Undeading to encourage people to become CPR trained.
Heart and Stroke launched the
campaign at Yonge-Dundas Square on Oct. 4, with staff members descend-ing on the square in zombie makeup for the launch of a three-minute pro-motional video.
“We thought it was a fun way to capture people’s attention about a very serious topic,” said Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Teresa Roncon.
“We all need to get CPR training and we all need to act on our training if the need comes up.”
The zombie video was selected – along with the slogan ‘CPR makes you undead’ – to attract a younger crowd.
“When you go into cardiac arrest, you’re technically dead,” Roncon said. “Like zombies, we’re trying to make people undead, but for the right reasons.”
The campaign aims to dispel some of the myths about CPR. Statistics show 85 per cent of cardiac arrests happen outside of the hospital, and the save rate for those who suffer cardiac arrest outside of the hospital in Ontario is between five and six per cent.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation points to Seattle as the gold standard in terms of save rate, with roughly 16 per cent of those who go into cardiac
arrest outside of the hospital sur-viving. By becoming CPR trained, people can help boost Ontario’s low save rate.
“For every minute somebody does CPR, the chances of survival (for the victim) increases 10 per cent,” Roncon said. “You’re keeping blood pumping to the brain.”
She noted the steps to take when someone goes into cardiac arrest are simple. Start by calling 911 immedi-ately before proceeding to perform CPR by pressing hard and fast on the person’s chest twice per second.
Roncon added it is crucial that people not hesitate before perform-
ing CPR.“People think ‘what if I hurt them?
What if I get sued?’” she said. “Ontario has a Good Samaritan law that pre-vents people from getting sued.”
The Heart and Stroke Foundation is gearing up to challenge the World Record for CPR training with a group event at Canada’s Wonderland’s Halloween Haunt on Oct. 25.
Those wishing to take part can gain full access to the park for $14.99, a 60 per cent discount over the normal Halloween Haunt price.
The Toronto Zombie Walk, mean-while, will take place this Saturday from noon until 8 p.m.

14 Opinion
It’s been a long time since anyone has illus-trated the argument for
made-in-Toronto transit funding solutions as well as our soon-to-be-former Premier Dalton McGuinty did Monday night.
McGuinty’s surprise resignation was not only as leader of the Liberals and premier of the province, but as the remaining steward of Toronto’s current light rail transit expansion plan.
That $8.5-billion plan, for light rail on Eglinton, Finch and Sheppard avenues, is the reliable base-line for hope, for those who wanted to see faster transit to subur-ban communities.
We’ve dreamed of other plans, of course. Mayor Rob Ford briefly created a convincing enough scenario in which the private sector might build subways to Scarborough. TTC chair Karen Stintz created an even shorter-lived scenario in which Toronto might have as many new transit routes as burst capillaries on an old drunk’s nose.
And the morning after McGuinty’s exit announce-ment, there were indications that even the $8.5-billion
light rail plan isn’t that reli-able.
Tim Hudak, leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, stopped by Toronto City Hall to affirm his preference for a Ford-style subway expan-sion. Although the days are early, it’s fair to say Hudak’s chances of being the next premier of Ontario are excellent, as are the chances that Ontarians will be given the opportunity to weigh those chances in an election within the next six months.
What happens to the $8.5 billion in light rail funding if that happens? Well, it’s up to Hudak.
Work’s already started on the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown line, and unless the Progressive Conservatives want to develop a reputation as the kind of government that fills in holes on Eglinton (as the Mike Harris government
did there in 1995) there will probably be some form of light rail transit there.
But if the decision gets made to bury the rest of the line, that will take care of most of the $8.5 billion right there. And Finch and Sheppard will be unfunded. When will subway funding come?
“When I am the next premier, we will use what-ever dollars are available to build underground,” he told reporters. Uh huh.
Toronto’s decision earlier this year to look into fund-ing transit expansion on its own starts to look pretty good, given all that, because really, with a provincial government deep in deficit, whatever money’s available won’t pay for much light rail, let alone subways.
It’s pretty clear, as we move into our suddenly very muddy future, the only reli-able way to get around this town by bus, subway or light rail is to belly up to the table and put our own money down.

LISA QUEEN [email protected]
Six months after North York’s iconic Herb Carnegie died, his daughter promoted her father’s Future Aces character building program at Cummer Valley Middle School, the first school to embrace the philoso-phy more than 50 years ago.
Bernice Carnegie urged students to do their homework every night, to “read, read, read,” to never give up and to believe in her family pass-word of “I like myself, I’m proud of who I am, I’m proud of where I came from, I’m proud of my talents.”
Carnegie is the executive direction of the Herbert H. Carnegie Future Aces Foundation.
Her father, who died at the age of 92 last March, developed the Future Aces philosophy to encourage chil-dren and young people to chart positive journeys in their lives.
In 1987, he launched the foun-dation to provide scholarships to students displaying exemplary citizenship qualities.
Herb Carnegie established Future Aces after disappointments he faced as a black hockey player in the 1940s.
A star player in Quebec, earning the title of most valuable player for three years, he was never invited to try out for the National Hockey League because of the colour of his skin.
“Other players got a chance to try out for the NHL but my father was left behind even though he was the best,” Carnegie told dozens of students gathered in the gym for the first of two assemblies last month.
“It didn’t feel good to my dad, it really didn’t. He decided he needed to do something about it.”
Herb Carnegie started the first hockey school in Canada at North York’s Mitchell Field in 1955 and penned the Future Aces creed that includes the positive character attributes of attitude, co-operation, example and service.
“He said, ‘I can’t depend on every-one else to do the right thing, I have to do the right thing myself,’” said Carnegie, pointing out her father had a long connection with Cummer Valley.
“Because he charted his own road, incredible things happened in his life.”
Herb Carnegie was inducted into
10 halls of fame, received seven medals for community service, was named to the Order of Canada, was a character in two Spider-Man comics and had a North York arena named after him, Carnegie said.
At the assembly, four students honoured by the Future Aces pro-gram encouraged the pupils to follow its philosophy.
Karen Young, a graduate of Earl Haig Secondary School, earned a Future Aces scholarship and is now studying psychology at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus.
When she was younger, Young was bullied by a friend but learned the complexities of bullying when her friend explained her need to torment others. The girl explained she didn’t want to be mean to others, but felt it was the only way to defend herself.
When Young arrived at Earl Haig she adopted the belief “Be kind, for everyone you meet is facing a struggle” and started the Future Aces council at the high school.
Cummer Valley alumni Nikoo Anpalagan, Saif Hashmi and Mahfam Tharani, who received Future Aces awards in June, said there are many things young people can do to suc-ceed in life.
Identify your goals, values and opinions, said Anpalagan, who now attends William Lyon MacKenzie Collegiate Institute in the MaCS program for advanced math, science and computers.
“You need to like yourself to get anywhere,” she added.
Hashmi, at Victoria Park Collegiate in the International Baccalaureate program, urged students to be true to their academic performance and strive for the top of their capabili-ties.
Most importantly, pass on your knowledge to others because, as a song called Son of Man by Phil Collins says, “In learning you will teach and in teaching you will learn,” he said.
Being in Grade 9, “at the bottom of the food chain” in high school, Tharani said it is important to be social and make connections with all kinds of different people.
“You will never do anything by yourself that will be 100 per cent successful,” said Tharani, who is also in the MaCS program at William Lyon MacKenzie.

City councillor Doug Ford said he’ll work “day in and day out” to make sure Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak is the next premier of Ontario, in the wake of Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s surprise announcement that he is quitting the top job at Queen’s Park.
“We’re going to win more seats than both parties in Toronto in the upcoming election,” predicted Ford, the influential brother to Mayor Rob Ford.
He made the comments at a Tuesday morning press event with Hudak outside Toronto City Hall to talk about transportation, less than 24 hours after McGuinty had made his announcement he would not only resign, but also prorogue the Ontario Legislature until a new leader was found.
The announcement apparently caught every-one by surprise. In a state-ment, the mayor wished McGuinty well and thanked him for his service as pre-mier.
“While we had differ-ent political views on some issues, Mr. McGuinty and I always had a very good working relationship as mayor and premier,” said Rob Ford. “I wish him well and look forward to working closely with the next premier of Ontario to advance the interests of the people of Toronto.”
Hudak, for his part, has joined NDP leader Andrea Horvath in calling on McGuinty to recall the legislature.
“I think the premier is putting a lot at risk here by proroguing the exist-ing legislature,” said Hudak outside City Hall.
“You put a padlock on the door and there is no more business, putting laws into effect in the prov-ince. I’ve known Dalton McGuinty for 17 years, I was a backbencher, newly elected, he came over and shook my hand, said wel-come aboard. And I respect his decision to resign, he’s been in public life for 22 years. What I do not respect is his plan to shut down the legislature. There are 600,000 men and women who woke up this morning with no job to go to. We owe it to them to continue to work, to focus on jobs.”
Hudak was at the news conference alongside sev-eral city councillors includ-ing Deputy Mayor Doug Ford, budget chief Mike Del Grande and public works and infrastructure chair Denzil Minnan-Wong. There, he was introduced as “the next premier of Ontario.”
During his speech, Hudak acknowledged there was a great deal of talent among conservative coun-cillors at city hall. But on Tuesday, councillors were coy about whether they would run provincially.
Doug Ford, who mused openly about running ear-lier this year when it was
Hudak critical of McGuinty’s move to prorogue Ontario Legislature
possible the McGuinty minority gov-ernment would fall, was somewhat more circumspect.
“I’ve always said I’d be interested, but that’s hypothetical,” he said. “We have interests to take care of at the city.”
Minnan-Wong, another longtime Progressive Conservative at City Hall, seemed to be leaning towards staying put at City Hall.
“I love what I’m doing here,” he said. “Never say never, but quite frankly there’s a lot to do at the City of Toronto. It’s exciting times. You don’t close any doors in any circumstances, but I don’t have any intentions of running provincially.”

Reaction among riders mixedRAHUL GUPTA [email protected]
Give Presto a chance was the message Monday from GO Transit to commuters reluc-tant to embrace the smartcard technology.
Around 350,000 GTA transit users are already making use of Presto, which allows users to tap the re-usuable cards at special terminals located at all GO and some TTC stations, as well other transit agencies across the region.
In addition to paying fares, Presto users can reload the card electronically by transfer-ring funds online or at various customer service outlets.
But news that GO will dis-continue its monthly passes in favour of Presto has led to hand-wringing from riders worried about the manda-tory switchover to the new technology.
A spokesperson for GO said concerns could be alleviated once uncertain commuters begin using Presto.
“Just try it,” said Mary Proc, vice-president of customer service for GO, on Monday.
She said the decision to phase out the paper monthly passes by the end of 2012 reflects the popularity of Presto among GO customers, 60 per cent of whom already use the cards.
“A majority of our customers are on Presto at the moment,” said Proc. “The timing was right.”
Presto implementation has endured some setbacks recently, most notably a delayed rollout in Ottawa due to faulty card readers that led to widespread criticism.
In early October, Steve Zucker, the Metrolinx execu-tive in charge of the program, resigned. He was replaced on an interim basis by Robert Hollis.
Proc said any bumps in the road to full Presto implemen-
tation were down to “teeth-ing problems” caused by the implementation of the new technology, but those issues were largely resolved.
Signs were put up at all 64 GO stations notifying commut-ers of the upcoming changes, said Proc.
On Twitter, news about the switch to Presto was met with mixed reactions.
“Looks like GO is forcing me into the 21st century by eliminating the monthly pass in favour of the con-temptible “Presto” cards,” @TheDailyZack tweeted.
“Go (sic) transit why must you make my life difficult and get rid of the monthly pass,” wrote @ThisisjuliaaaXO.
Divyesh Mistry supported the upcoming switchover, pointing out in a series of tweets the advantages the Presto card will have over its predecessor: “Really, all that is happening is that GO is moving from disposable paper media to reusable card technology.”
