Toronto city councilors will have to answer to the voters of their efforts to execute a coup d'etat and rob the Toronto voters of democracy.

You're not booking kidding. ;)



That's true.

Here's another fun fact for, oh, no particular reason: the word government is a ten letter word that has a 'v' in it.
your v a g i n a t i o n is getting the better of you.

oops ^there's another one!

The LRT will replace the current LRT which is in disrepair and is only a couple of decades old if that. A subway will last 100+ years and service thousands more a day. The best time to build a subway is 20 years ago, the second best time is today.

An elevated subway trains would make more sense and cheaper to build

Just read that article again.

Not even the Scarberians want a subway.

I remember the fight Lastman had to get the Shepherd subway built and how the left howled about the cost. The development along that subway line has been nothing short of amazing and the tax base along it has grown exponentially and will more than pay for that line in short order if it hasn't already. The new line heading to York U is also spurring development and will be a boon to the tax base in TO and York Region. The stupid thing to do is not build a subway.

Actually, the stupid thing is to build a budget for a subway, then complain about a high budget.

I wonder what Ford was smoking.

Rob Ford’s secret budget plan is destined to fail, and that's just the way he wants it

A Toronto city council meeting intended to establish the 2014 budget, expected to include a secretive budget proposal put forward by Mayor Rob Ford, was bound the get ugly.

But no one thought it would get so ugly, so fast.

Within moments of council session getting under way Thursday morning, Ford had already told one councillor to "shut up" and a recess was called after public spectators began shouting and chanting.

Shortly after the council session began, Ford got into a shouting match with conservative Coun. Michael Thompson. "No, you shut up," Ford yelled at one point, before a recess was called.

I'm beginning to wonder if that boy is operating with a "full deck"!
