I think you have it wrong, that's higher wages for less work.

Better paid and more numerous city employees. Now doesn't that make you feel better?

Maybe not, but I don't think he was elected to double taxes either. At least I don't remember that being part of his election campaign. If it had been I don't think he'd be mayor today.

If I worked for an entity on the brink of financial ruin (ie. City of Toronto), and I was obviously overpaid and underworked (ie. city workers) then yes.

I would do what Giuliani did. If it worked in New York, why can't it work in Toronto? Tourists do not like to be asked for money by intimidating and rude panhandlers. Not that they're all like that, but I have personally been attacked by a panhandler. If I had been a tourist, I would have...

This ought to revive the tourism industry!

If I was a high school dropout making $46,000 plus 23% benefits in a job I could never get fired from with a gold-plated pension, I'd be thanking my lucky stars. Other high school dropouts make $8/hour with no benefits flipping burgers. The union has succeeded in giving low skill workers upper...

Well, that's just it, we need a Mayor and council that will put the unions in their place. Right now, unions are running this city and calling all the shots. Nothing stands in their way to keep them in check. A vote for Miller and his pals on council is a vote for CUPE, higher wages, more...

A lot of the Yonge St. ones migrated over to Church St. Apparently the gay community is getting harassed by them a lot now. There are definitely more in the west end now too, and this stabbing occurred just west of Bathurst on Queen. Good thing it's west of the boundaries being used by the city...

So was I.

What figures do you have to back this up?

Recently, a young man was stabbed to death by several homeless people on Queen St. West for refusing to give them change. It seems that Miller and company don't want to do anything about the homeless issue, because the number of homeless people continues to increase every year. This could be one...

So much for a balanced forum. Might as well change the name to Socialist Toronto Forum. Keep supporting Miller and CUPE, and you'll get your socialist paradise. It will look more like a third world city like Havana, where poverty is the norm, but you get what you vote for, right?

Something tells me if the average city worker made $300,000 a year, you'd still be saying it's all Harris' fault. You are the one who is one sided. Anyone who looks at the numbers with an unbiased eye can see that city workers are grossly overpaid, and that cutting their wages and salaries by...

The average employee of the City of Toronto makes in excess of $60,000 per year plus 23% benefits. This is far more than the average federal or provincial employee makes and far more than the average Torontonian makes. Nobody is saying city employees shouldn't be able to afford to live in...
