Fitzy, my apologies. I’ve been overwhelmed lately by people claiming things that are obvious mis-truths.
Perhaps because virtually everything you write is a mistruth! On this board, one can pretty much read what Fresh Start writes, and assume that any normal person would think the opposite.
The $400,000 for a skateboard park
So you are against skateboard parks? It's very well-used. How could one oppose it?
"We're an early morning business - if the area is congested because of these light rail vehicles, people will avoid it," he said. "We'll have to wait and see - see how the community responds. We're at the mercy of the community's comfort zone and driving patterns. The question is how bad it will be. We know it will be bad."
Hang on ... your criticizing here because she didn't oppose the new streetcar yards being built in the Portlands? The complaint was by a handful of neighbours concerned that would be streetcar tracks down on Leslie south of Queen ... you have once again proved your credentials as an anti-transit NIMBY!
So let me get this straight, you'd like to see more developments along Queen Street East (I’m assuming that’s the “major avenue”) and the primary reason you're opposed to Bruce Baker is his occupation?
No ... I was thinking that Danforth was a major avenue. I was referring to the new development at Woodbine/Danforth. Baker has been active in opposing the community in this ward trying to develop things. He's not a serious prospect.
Are you really from Ward 32 or are you pulling our chain?
I have posts going back from before you assume your current persona that identifies roughly where I live.
You realize that as an insider both within the TTC and real estate worlds, Baker is the most qualified to advocate on the Beaches community’s behalf sustainable transit and development options right?
Baker is running so that he can have less opposition to his developments, and increase his income. This is the kind of insider we want? He's a joke!
What has Bussin done for Ward 32 lately
We've got this brand new skatepark! No one would object to that. And she's just landed a huge employer to develop the lands that have been vacant for years at the corner of Leslie and Lakeshore to build a streetcar yard - I think that's a huge accomplishment to add employment in the ward. She's pushed relentlessly for improvements to the 501 service. And she's certainly worked well to on an individual basis. I asked her to get the 92 Woodbine service fixed ... and she immediately asked TTC to study the issue, and it was improved within months.
I charge that it is you who is ignorant or rather indifferent to the suffering of your fellow community members at the hands of this person. What Bussin has done is effectively set back the live of a quadriplegic by about two years.
That is the most bizarre statement you've made. She didn't delay them asking for a demolition permit. The demolition permit was issued almost immediately. Process was followed.
I’m sincerely hoping for an East Toronto sweep: Ootes, Fletcher, Davis, Bussin replaced by Pitfield, Dewdney, Walker and Baker. It is good to see someone challenging Bussin. It is time for change in Ward 32.
I have no idea why your so suddenly interested in my ward. Don't you live in outer Scarberia? Given your record of being an anti-transit Nimby and a Rob Ford shill, then I'd think any rational person would note who you support and vote for anyone else!
If you are so up on local issues though ... tell me what you think of the Gardiner expressway, that some wanted (and heck some still want) to cut it's way through this ward?
