Gotta love getting money for doing absolutely nothing. You don't even have to do anything first or pay taxes.

it's the same mindset as the cumstache hipsters that think $500,000 on fake rocks is a wonderful idea:

mo' money

Ontario’s municipalities will receive more than $8 billion over 10 years, as part of a renewed gas tax fund, the federal government announced on Friday.


Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver said the government doubled the number of eligible investment categories so that municipalities can apply their gas tax money to an array of projects.


Toronto Mayor Rob Ford joined Oliver to mark the agreement’s 10-year extension, and was all smiles since much of that money will go to Toronto.


“As a result of this new 10-year agreement, the federal government will flow an estimated $8.12 billion directly to municipalities in Ontario,” Oliver said.

Rocks and umbrellas? Seriously? And no money to fix potholes and almost unpassable roads. Gotta love the lefty priorities.
Unfortunatly, the mayor has only 1 vote and no veto powers.

Except it is a private owned business that made the decision to buy the umbrellas and another councillor (not Ford) who found the gravy lol

Typical revisionist cons.

I realize anything and everything that moves in this world of politics besides wars and killing science about our environment is all lefty for you.
What if Ford might have had a hand in his neighbor getting said contracts, even though he votes against it?
The CBC seems lol to be alleging to some new Ford Nightmare!!!

WOOOOOOSH!!!!!

The CBC? Are you sure it wasn't the National En ... I mean Toronto Star?

So how did Rob Ford personally convince city council to vote for his friend? Was it his whit and personality and his great relationship with those councilers? Enquiring minds want to know!
