  • Mario Faraone was a forty-seven year old building designer and consultant, the owner of the firm F. M. Faraone and Sons. He campaigned in support of urban tax reform, better traffic planning and affordable housing.[1] He was a member of the Liberal Party, but ran without a party endorsement.[2] In 1990, an article in the Toronto Star newspaper drew attention to the fact that the York adjustment committee approved every single proposal put forward by Faraone in 1989-90, despite serious concerns from local residents in some cases. One of the committee members was Faraone's business partner, Jack Capitanio. Faraone denied any suggestion of wrongdoing, and argued that his success rate was a reflection of his experience in the building industry. Capitano also denied suggestions of favouritism.[3] Mayor Fergy Brown said that he would raise the matter at the next council meeting, and recommended the city's legal department start an investigation.[4] Newspaper reports do not indicate how the matter was resolved. Faraone has remained active in the building trade.[5]

46 out of 47 polls reporting.

  • Frank Crudo was a twenty-six year old design and construction company project manager during the 1988 election. He called for a stronger campaign against drugs on North York's streets.[6] When Anthony Perruzza was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1990, Crudo applied to the North York council to be selected as his replacement. He was rejected in favour of Claudio Polsinelli.[7] He later campaigned for Metro Toronto's Black Creek ward in the 1991 municipal election, saying that he was running against the area's "NDP machine".[8] He lost to Maria Augimeri. During the 1993 federal election, Crudo was part of a group of dissident Liberals who supported the candidacy of Peter Li Preti over Art Eggleton, following Eggleton's appointment as the riding's Liberal candidate.[9]
  • Bruno Rea holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy from Oxford University. He worked as a policy adviser for the Ontario Ministry of Labour in the 1980s, researching and writing briefs on workers' compensation and employment standards. He was a member of the Liberal Party. In 1987, he wrote an editorial piece for the Globe and Mail newspaper opposing capital punishment.[10] He was twenty-nine years old in the 1988 election, and called for a crackdown on crime and a slower pace of regional development.[11] He was endorsed by the Toronto Star newspaper, and was originally regarded as a serious candidate for election.[12] One week prior to the election, however, he was arrested after trying to dispose of 161 signs belonging to Anthony Perruzza, his New Democratic Party opponent, on the grounds of York University at 3:30 in the morning.[13] He pleaded guilty to a charge of mischief in February 1989, and was fined.[14] Rea was listed as a senior policy adviser for the Ministry of Labour in 2000.[15]
  • John Butcher campaigned for the North York City Council on three occasions. In 1982 and 1985, he lost to Irving Chapley in Ward Seven. He was forty-four years old in 1988, and described himself as a lifelong resident of the ward. He acknowledged that he was not likely to win election.[16]

Total valid votes 7,293 100.00
  • Phyllis Weinberg was 56 years old during the campaign, and was described as a psychotherapist and former teacher.[17] She was listed in 1996 as the owner and operator of Orthodox Counselling Services, which offers support on stress management and family issues in the Orthodox Jewish community.[18] She had previously campaigned for the North York Hydro Commission in 1985, finishing sixth out of nine candidates. She was twice asked to stop campaigning on the grounds of a public school 1988, and was criticized for giving candy to children near school property. Weinberg argued that the complaints against her were part of a "mud-slinging campaign" designed to prevent her from winning the seat.[19] She planned to campaign for the ward six seat again in the 1991 election, but withdrew before election day.[20]
