Olivia Chow...Mayor?
- Thread starter elmo
- Start date
Crack has yet to be proven, and in regards to the wife beating nonsense, when the police were called in, they wanted HIM to take the kids and get away from HER.
Fuji, let's say hypothetically that there are 3 candidates running for the next mayor of Toronto:
Rob Ford
Olivia Chow
John Tory
Which among these 3 would you vote for? I suspect you would NOT vote for Ford and you have just posted some highly favourable opinions of Chow, but what about Tory?
Still far far better than Ford or Chow. The guy who used to sing at Yonge and Bloor would make a better candidate.
Tory's campaign slogan would have to be "I'm not Ford" though.
I would vote for Chow. I dislike the NDP, but she works hard. She would build coalitions, make deals, and stuff would get done. She would be the Mel Lastman of the left and as such a damned good mayor.
+1 And Olivia was not the ONLY one sleeping with Jack!
Jack was smart choosing an Asian wife.... They accept other luscious women satisfying their men!
.......and dear Fuji, that's why Toronto deserves the politicians it elects and why nothing of consequence ever gets done. You have a truncated transit plan that Miller settled for, and it keeps getting diluted and meandering by the day. Everything else seems to be flagpole governance depending which way the wind blows. If you think Chow has the political balls to get anything done think again, she'll give the store away to the unions and special interest groups as Miller did. Tory would have been a good middle of the road mayor in the way Bill Davis was a premier, and more importantly he is not beholden to anyone.
Put down the crack pipe.
In the real world Ford had accomplished almost nothing. City council is paralyzed and the Province has had to step in and take over the transit file.
Oh Ford did one thing. He gave the TTC union jobs for life and locked in their exorbitant pay packets with guaranteed above average raises. Forever. He gave the police union a similar sweet deal. Those are the two biggest elements of the budget and he had guaranteed us tax increases for years to come through his stupidity.
His dithering on transit has cost us a hundred million dollars, and STILL he is dithering, with every delay costing us money.
Ford blew a lot of smoke up your ass and now it's coming out of your mouth as hot air. He talks a big talk but much of it is lies and when you look under the covers, ignoring the rhetoric he and his drug pushing cronies spew, he has been a mess.
Gross financial mismanagement, failed leadership, papered over with lies and misinformation. That's Ford.
There must be more to this story. Why would the mother be in government housing, as the waiting time is many years unless there is some real urgency to be accepted, or you are able to pull some strings. The apartment was for the mother in her name. How was the mother able to get a 2/3 bedroom apartment? Would assume Olivia and Jack would have one bedroom, the mother would be in another room.
If Olivia and Jack were living in the apartment paying rent to the mother, and the mother paid that rent to the city, then think that is illegal. Looks like Olivia and Jack were scamming the system.
Will be surprised if Olivia runs for Mayor. She has it too easy now, why jump into the fire.
i will gladly issue you a citation.
these events happened when you were a kid. for those of his who are older, we remember the events quite well.
