Very well said. Thank you, TOvp. What's more is that many of those calling Council's actions 'undemocratic' also turn around and dismiss Wynne as being 'unelected'. What this seems to demonstrate is complete and utter ignorance of how our political system actually functions. Take Rob Ford's...

I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think Peepers has yet reached the point where we can reasonably describe him as being self-aware. He was asking not how Ford could have been elected, but rather how Norm fucking Kelly could have been elected. IIRC, he bemoaned a few pages back that...

You do realize that democracy is not limited to the right to vote in elections, right? You couldn't possibly be that dense, could you?

Well said, and ties in nicely to what Jeffrey Simpson wrote Wednesday morning: "There is now in Canada, according to all sorts of polls, about 30 per cent of the electorate that is hard-core Conservative/conservative. For them, public policy is almost exclusively about paying lower and lower...

I ask this question out of genuine curiosity, but are you seriously still going on about this? Do you not realize that it is this sort of nonsensical outrage that got us into this position to begin with? I disagree completely with Norm Kelly's ideology but I am still capable of recognizing how...

Nothing - LeDrew is simply a hack.

An honest mistake? He is unpredictable and erratic, and has no place charging at others in the council chambers, let alone being left in charge of the economic and cultural centre of Canada

And yet, he still doesn't seem to realize the hypocrisy of the CPC's position on harm reduction and rule of law. Criminals and addicts are undeserving of rehabilitative justice and sympathy, unless of course they happen to be prominent members or supporters of the CPC.

What in the world was that caller Elaine saying?

In his reality, does that not constitute 'gravy'? The Office of the Mayor has been impotent for the past three years - just one more to go.

I couldn't help myself

How does everyone forget about Hero Burger? He was quite pleased about that victory, I believe he said "we did good today".

For a second, when he said "... but I can't", I actually thought he was about to be forthright about his problems. Silly me

I wouldn't say that he is "avoiding" charges, but rather that he has not yet been charged

You sure showed that PhD-bound scholar -- who needs 'research' and 'statistics' and 'evidence' when you have your gut to tell you that "there is no way that fraud rates are as low as 0.1%". As always, Peeper, you are a shining exemplar for Ford Nation. Edit: Your anti-intellectualism is...

It is this type of one-dimensional thinking that landed us with a Mayor like Ford. When did 'the economy'--an intangible social construct--become a trump card to the exclusion of any competing experiential category? When did abstract, decontextualized financial metrics become the sole criterion...
