Indeed, like the whole elephant sanctuary and shark fin soup fiascos.What use are skilled public servants like planners, business managers, policy analysts and engineers if we ignore their recommendations
Well said. I don't support Ford either, but the world isn't all black vs. white. Sometimes you just need to weigh the good vs. the bad, comparing all options.I don't support ford but... I think you're going way out of line here. You're allowed to support the Mayor for different reasons, and just because you support, say, subways it doesn't mean you condone any bigotry that he might demonstrate. It's not black or white, all or nothing, etc... it's a whole variety of shades of grey, and no one is beholden to agree with every single position of a person they vote for or support when it comes to politicians. Hell, if I was required to take on or support every viewpoint of whoever I vote for - or if I had to agree with everything they've said in order to vote for them - I'd probably never cast a vote. It's unfair to Ford's supporters to paint them all as bigots or racist or whatever just because of something Ford has said or a view he might hold, unless you talk to them and they say "Yeah, I love Ford 'cause he hates queers!" - then, you've got a point.
