Bocce Balls: Valentino Assenza

Hail Marys Dept: It sounded like an East Side Mario s ad, quite honestly, said Valentino Assenza, whose parents immigrated from Sicily. I think the Italian-Canadian community was misrepresented . . . I was undecided, but him putting that ad out definitely confirmed that I m not going to be giving my vote to him, according to The Star. There have been a lot of Hail Marys tossed into the air by the various candidates hoping to get more attention, to get a breakthrough, to somehow puncture the lead that Rob Ford has, said Myer Siemiatycki, a politics professor at Ryerson University. It does smack of desperation, it does smack of attention-seeking overdrive, and I don t think it ll be successful and italian-Canadians lashed out Monday at Rocco Rossi s new mafia-themed ad campaign, which labels the mayoral candidate a wise guy and tells voters to fuggetaboutit. The new campaign includes print ads featuring the words wise guy, goodfella and bocce balls, as well as TV and radio spots. The ads were launched as a new poll shows Rossi s support stagnating at 9.7 per cent, a distant fourth place. As reported in the news.
