I guess this publicity stunt more than backfired.

OneCity Transit Plan for Toronto | Councillors De Baeremaeker & Stintz

Thoughts? Comments?

This CVA Uptake deal is interesting. Evidently, it makes property taxes work more the way I had thought they actually worked.

I totally support this but honestly, if city hall had just been allowed to implement transit city in the first place we could have had our cake and eaten it too.

Instead we are staring at between $65 and $116 million in kill fees depending how you slice it just so we can hire the same companies to build according to a nearly identical blueprint. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...ion-costs.html

Queen's park (I can't believe I'm saying this) is absolutely right. Put a shovel in the ground already otherwise why should they believe this plan is "the one" over the other three before it?

Toronto Mayor Ford tries to clarify his comments on gun criminals and immigration - The Globe and Mail

This is truly embarrassing. The mayor of the biggest city.

To think he is a leader to some and a role model to others is frightening.

Yes, Toronto's Mayor is just a little confused.

I think he jumped on the shooting problem hoping to score points, but ended up demonstrating his lack of understanding of the issues.

A reader's comment sums it up quite well:

"If you had a scan of Rob Ford's brain you would see 2 monkeys fighting over a peanut..."

The idea that you just bullheadedly ram your ideology down everyone's throats without any thought or regard to what the consequences may be is just inexcusable for a mayor of Toronto.

Wasn't there a fred flinstone episode where they had clones where they just yes yes yes! no no no!

To lead a city like Toronto (or the country for that matter) it requires far more than what Ford possesses.

If Ford believes the money would be poorly spent by the recipients, he's certainly withing his rights to vote with his conscience against them.
