Mayor John Tory's Toronto

Videodrome said:
I still find it amusing that the Sun endorsed Tory, but turned on him rather quickly. Of course, he doesn't create the drama that sells papers like Rob and Doug did.

Star turned on Miller.

It's all about selling newspapers. I'm sure they'll be happy to see him re-elected from a political point of view. But does that sell papers?
 
Maybe the Toronto Sun should do an interview with John Tory... in the Steak Queen restaurant. Like their "hero"...

It was only a matter of time before something like this was going to happen. I wonder who of the lofty in Toronto will be outed as not being a family man/woman.

Tory has an event with Joe Oliver tomorrow morning and no questions are allowed. I suspect this is more of Oliver's doing, as Tory is happy to answer questions after a big announcement.
 
Minnan-Wong is worried about Council adding projects they can't (or won't) pay for (from CBC website)

"Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong is warning council to stop approving projects the city has no money to pay for. Minnan-Wong says billions of dollars in projects approved by council over the next decade are currently unfunded. "There is an insatiable appetite for building things in this city," said the Don Valley East councillor."

A bit rich coming from someone who strongly supports the building of unnecessary subways in Scarborough (when Provincial $$ for LRT are there already) and who wants to rebuild the Gardner rather than follow the professional advice of City Staff and build a cheaper surface road.

My experience with 'fiscal conservatives' is that their conservative nature lasts right up to their own pet project. Drives me bananas in Toronto, but imagine how bad it was growing up in boomtown/bust/boomtown Calgary, where the whole town was 'fiscal conservative' when it came to a road or bridge in Edmonton or Red Deer, but all about shiny new Deerfoot Trail extensions 'cause cars need to have room to be free.
