Mayor John Tory's Toronto

[TheTigerMaster]

I'm still holding out for TheTigerMaster's rise to power.

Don't fret. Soon I will be installed as the Benevolent Dictator of Toronto. Brighter days are ahead.

Just heard on CityTV that John Tory is open to the idea of ranked ballots.

I really do like how JT is open to these ideas. Most politicians feel like they have to have immediate kneejerk reactions when a new idea is brought up to appease their base. JT appears willing to consider new ideas.

For a Conservative politician [being pathological] is pretty much normal.

Cheap shot.

except for when he was taking taxis and charging it to the tax payer, or handing out free tokens to his girlfriends.

His girlfriends got to ride for free........ on the couch in his office at TTC chair. IIRC, that's the first piece of furniture Stintz changed out.

He had an election to win ... following someone like Ford, you can't get away without the talk of cuts and what not, he did what he had to do, and he still is, this 2% efficiency, oh but unlike Ford this will be "real" efficiency ... sure / right ... whatever. But I still applaud him, this is what he needs to do to keep enough of the Ford folks on his side, which will be required next election, after enough time this sort of "there is over spending everywhere" feeling will dissipate and things can go back to the norm.

This feeling has existed long before the Ford bros. The Frauds just exposed it.

There will always be people in this city who feel Toronto ceases to exist once they get to the end of their own driveway...

Ahh yes, the people who don't care what happens to the world as long as their trash is collected. A bunch of selfish idiots.

They need to restore the Vehicle Registration Tax - the idea that any driver in Toronto "can't afford" $5 a month is ridiculous. Or bring in a congestion charge or tolls. We should make transit cheaper and driving more expensive.

As a daily driver, I say +1!

I wonder what people did with that extra 60 dollars? I think I spent it at the pub, really.

Yeah! Let's make live miserable for drivers! Yeah!

Are you familiar of the concept of negative externalities?

Are you familiar of the concept of negative externalities?

Absolutely. Like when streetcars and bike lanes make it harder for normal road users to get around?

Don't you just hate how those damn streetcars and bikes cause all this congestion. We really need to get streetcars off the 401

That's one thing I doubt he'll ever do.

Cheap shot.

I apologize. I'll send you thousands of dollars in cash, in a brown envelope to show my regrets. Put it in your safe.
