Yeah, this is what it comes down to for me, although less-so for the embarrassment factor. Urban issues are important and, to a certain extent, undervalued in this country, and a strong, effective advocate for urban issues in the largest metropolis in Canada is good not only for Toronto but for other cities as well.
