Ward 19 gets a little D-list celebrity left vs right slug-fest

The battle to replace Joe Pantalone's now-vacant seat for Ward 19 has become a local semi-celebrity smackdown.


On the left we have son of the redeemer of the porn-stache and federal NDP leader Jack Layton: Mike Layton

On the right we have local CTV reporter and survivor Karlene Nation.   She decided to sign up on the last day and will be taking a 2 month leave of absence in order to campaign.

Sure, there are 6 other candidates (including a former sportscaster, Sean McCormick).  But who cares!  They don't stand a chance against the name recognition of Trintiy-Spadina Ward 19's two D-listers duking it out good vs evil, left vs right style.
