Gord Perks and Olivia Chow speakout against Diesel Trains

Parkdale--High Park Toronto Ward 14 NDP City Councillor, Gord, gives Mayor Millers remarks in support of electrification of the proposed rail expansion in Toronto's west-end. He then places a public call to Metrolinx chair Rob Pritchard's private home phone number, so that the crowd can chant "Go electric" onto his voicemail. Trinity--Spadina's NDP Federal Member of Parliament, Olivia Chow, is seen here speaking to a group of marchers and families that took part in the Human Train Rally that calls for the electrification of the line. She is speaking at Sorauren Park, near Wabash Avenue, in the Roncesvalles Village neighbourhood of Toronto, on September 26, 2009.
