The problem with these politically-motivated witch hunts is that it is the people who are most competent and principled that are usually let go, while the ones who keep their heads down and do as little as possible, in order to hide their incompetence, more often than not keep their jobs. If I felt that the Commission was truly trying to weed out the deadwood, I would have more confidence in this process. From what I hear though, the Ford toadies are out for the blood of those who have dared to speak the truth with fact-based reports. To call those reports "one-sided and one-dimensional" because they didn't support the mayor's vision, as Di Giorgio said in the Star article, gives me no confidence that the TTC will end up better than it was before the bloodbath. And maybe that's the idea. Undermine the professionality of the organization to the point where you can justify breaking it up and selling off the pieces. Have we now replaced the so-called "war on the car" with the "war on the TTC?"
