That's what you say about almost everything, yet nothing turns out the way you predict. When will that pattern cause you to re-evaluate your analysis?
can anyone explain Ford changing the council size?
- Thread starter dshaw4096
- Start date
I hear they will be selling off all the vacated council chairs like they did when Maple Leaf Gardens shut down.
Mission accomplished.
Not if those fans cause disruption, damage or wind up in jail. Earlier you commented about people out on a week night, which makes no sense. Do you know a person's work situation just by looking? They will deal with whatever consequences that comes to them and it's none of our business because it doesn't affect us.
I actually think people are paying too much attention, but it's only surface level and one-sided. They are not thinking critically about what they read, see or hear. The Internet makes it too easy to be lazy by sticking to your own camp and not question things.
Here's better info:
As the Court of Appeal put it: “The application judge (Belobaba) was understandably motivated by the fact that the timing of Bill 5 changed the rules for the election mid-campaign, which he perceived as being unfair to candidates and voters. However, unfairness alone does not establish a Charter breach. The question for the courts is not whether Bill 5 is unfair but whether it is unconstitutional. On that crucial question, we have concluded that there is a strong likelihood that (Belobaba) erred in law and that the Attorney General’s appeal to this court will succeed.”

Meaning that while Bill 5 was definitely unfair, it wasn't unconstitutional.
Don't think that Frod has won much from this.

Who said life is fair???
Was life is fair when McGuinty said no taxes increase and then brought in the largest health tax and screw all taxpayer and voters!!
Was life is fair when Wynne say no carbon tax but then bring in a cap & trade ( hidden tax) which same as taking money from taxpayer wallets in a sneaky way.
So gues it time for some city lefite governments politicans get shaft and fuck in the ass by Doug Ford!!
Getting screw it really hurt .. So who say life is fair!
Time for them to feel some pain too!
PS Ford did good on this!
1. This was not about fairness IMHO. It was about rigging the system. Doug Ford rigged the system against the NDP at Toronto City Hall and that is absolutely wonderful. The NDP at City Hall has spent all it time trying to rig the system for its own ends. Finally someone put a stop to this. They deserved what they got. The NDP of today is different than the NDP of 20 years. Today they are just power-hungry politicians.
2. No more stupid ideas, regardless of the source. No more bike lanes where they are not needed. Case in point, the bike lanes on Yonge Street near Sheppard Ave & Finch Ave should finally be killed and never brought up again. If anyone every rode their bicycles there, or drove a car through there, realizes one thing. All traffic is directed towards Yonge so that vehicle traffic does not flow into the residential streets. Like duh, why put bike lanes on Yonge, when those two parallel north & south streets, Doris and Kenneth(?) do not have much tarrific because they do not want that traffic. That is the place to ride your bicycle. Why is putting bike lanes on Yonge a priority? They should get rid of the bike lanes on Bloor, and Woodbine too.
3. Move those safety drug injection sites into hospitals. This is being fair to everyone, druggies included. My impression is that many people in the PC cabinet is Toronto base. No one wants a safety drug injection site in their neighbourhood. Even I picked up a used syringe and disposed of it safely, and I do not live near one of those. If the NDP had its way, it is coming to every neighbourhood near you. Put those things in the hospital.
4. Toronto is important. Win Toronto and his Ford-ness will be leader of the province for a long time. Take away the TTC and let the province run it. Build subways. Take the credit for that. Let John Tory blow his horn about SmartTrack all he wants.

Stop telling us what you want.
Boober, let's have a little levity and laughter in this thread.
Tell us - in your own words - what the Ontario Court of Appeal is saying there??
You left out the last bit of your Sun article:
The empahasis is mineThe Sun said:
So let me understand this...when I don’t provide artifacts and express things in my own words you attack me and ask for evidence. But when I provide evidence you want me to express things in my own words.
How about you pick one rather than deflecting for the sake of it?
What I provided was info about the verdict...the rest is subjective.
The original verdict based on things being unfair didn’t hold water and the judge fucked up.
What more do you need?
So you imagine, But what you provided was info about the Stay of Proceedings which is neither a verdict, nor a decision. It's the Court not deciding the issue, but making a temporary order to ensure the least harm, based on their understanding of the issues, probabilities and priorities as briefly presented to them by the parties for and against. Their order was that for now Bill 5 can remain in force, until they decide on the appeal. The best you can say, is that since they were unanimous in letting Doug's law stay in force, it's likely they'll eventually decide that way in the end.
The full arguments for and against the appeal have yet to be made, and any Appeal Court decision is likely months away. Saying it's decided before then just makes you look foolish.
And just as subjective as Lorrie Goldstein in the Sun, who is at least more thoughtful and better informed.
The province has never run GO Transit particularly well so I have little confidence they can do any better with the TTC.
Verdict, Stay, decision, who really cares? I don't. If you want to critique my summary go ahead if it makes you feel better...but my point is it's done. At this point, terminology doesn't really matter...unless it offers some kind of comfort for you.
In other words...you have nothing...except picking at things to distract from the fact that you are outraged and not happy about Ford's epic victory.
This is fun.
