City Hall Dept: Our schedules have been hectic, our learning curve s been steep, and there have been repeated attempts to divide us into either right- or left-wing camps. But despite our differences, we re all still determined to change the polarized culture at City Hall, according to The Star. Some have presumptively typecast Kristyn Wong-Tam as a radical lefty. She s certainly progressive. But she s also a thoughtful, savvy and successful businesswoman. An immigrant from Hong Kong, she taught herself to skate five years ago. If I was going to be Canadian, I needed to know how to skate, she explained, quipping: Next is to make love in a canoe and nearly six months on the job and Toronto s newly elected councillors don t feel so new anymore. Like most people in our society, politicians are complex, interesting and multidimensional human beings. As
reported in the news.
@t learning curve, typecast
