Denzil Minnan-Wong's 2003 Campaign Donor Breakdown:

Denzil Minnan-Wong has been the most consistent member of the opposition to David Miller but his opposition was largely ineffective in the last council. He has been given only one minor committee appointment in this council which suggests that Miller sees him as an opponent. Minnan-Wong is known as the “neo-con” of Toronto City Council. He is remembered as the principal author of the settlement of the billion-dollar lawsuit between the Toronto Port Authority and the city, which paved the way for the November 2002 council vote to build the bridge to the Island Airport. He continues to be one of the voices on council that supports the Island Airport.
