Of course, the icing on the cake is the actual take from the casino being half of what's projected in the report...

Just out of curiosity, during your time on this forum has there ever been an occasion when the police did not let you/Toronto down?from what I observed Toronto Police let the city down but Fire and EMS performed exemplary

I love your sarcasm Forgotten. For a second I thought you were being serious. But the fact that nobody is stupid enough to say what you did gave away the sarcasm.
Seriously, great job. Next time you're going to tell us Ford saved $Billions lol *nudge nudge
The reality is we just don't know what Mayor Ford was doing during the flood crisis because unlike Calgary Mayor Nenshi - Ford was not sending out self-serving tweets every 10 minutes to let everyone know what a great job he was doing. For all we know Mayor Ford was working quietly behind the scenes quarterbacking the city's emergency responses. Most importantly to me is the morning after, Ford acknowledged that the emergency response was far from perfect and he promised a review of the emergency response systems and procedures (from what I observed Toronto Police let the city down but Fire and EMS performed exemplary).
Lead the city in a crisis, to be exact. There were thousands of crisis all over the city last night while this buffoon chilled out in his SUV and slept, and if your okay with that then just come out and say so. The 92 year old Mayor of Mississauga was on the job until well after 1am, and she arrives at City Hall at around 7am every day after breakfast and some gardening.
I'll cite one example, why did it take over six hours to unload a stranded GO Train on flooded tracks with several feet of swift moving water passing by it? Perhaps if someone was actually in charge of emergency management proper resources and equipment could have been directed to the site to get those folks out and onto dry land in a reasonable time frame.
Blah-blah-blah...
That was a silly article on the part of the Star. One could make the case that the additional debt, which is from capital expenditures, is Miller's fault, as some of that includes the new streetcar order. To some degree, there's no point putting this on Ford. Of course there's nothing wrong with debt as long as it's managed properly and used for necessary and beneficial capital expenditures.
Yes, and with his subway plan debt would have sky-rocketed. But people who support Ford don't understand or don't care about those subtleties.
John Bitove. If they run him, Rob Ford is friggun toast! The man is a master businessman with a network that'll fund his campaign after one call.
