A song from an old Hollywood movie set in Rome --- Three Coins in the Fountain  is running in my head on the eve of Toronto's mayoral elections: which one will the fountain bless?
We really don't have something like the Fontana di Trevi in Rome so who will I bless with my vote?
A weighty decision to make as I cast my ballot for the next mayor of Toronto tomorrow. Or do I simply emulate what millions of tourists do in Rome as they stand before this beautiful fountain?  I'll throw a coin over my shoulder and hope that the city gets the mayor it truly deserves.  George Smitherman.  Rob Ford. Joe Pantalone.  Which one will the voters bless?
