The major job description is to have the ability to negotiate with the other levels of govt and to have the ability to get council on side.

So no, lacking those abilities Doug was NOT qualified to be Mayor.
I think he has more brains to handle the job or the position, but since he and/or his style of play isn't liked or appreciated, he probably is not qualified like you say.

He was musing about it and has until Jan 20th to pony up the $75,000. If he is smart he will realize that his name at this point is toast and work behind the scenes. Deco needs to get back to profitability.

He should be grooming the next set of kids if he wants to continue politically. Because no way can he ever be at the forfront in a leadership capacity again.
As much as I can gather from insiders I know, I doubt they want him. He's tainted his name. Why isn't Deco profitable now? (As an aside).

Last I heard they cut the dividend considerably. The New Jersey operation they bought is bleeding money and Chicago just started breaking even after it faltered a bit. Toronto I believe(pure specutation) may have taken a hit due to people refusing to do business with them anymore.

And Doug hasn't had the ability to concentrate on the Business side. Randy is useless. So is the sister. That's why I said he should step back if he desires to keep the family political "business" up and running.

But he is done in this town.

I contacted Human Resources and they said they're unaware of such a job description as you have claimed.

An overpaid and underworked, City of Toronto courier will be by to pick up said job description from you tomorrow.

Your 2015 Property Tax invoice and the next 30 others proceeding it, will reflect the necessary 20% yearly property tax increase needed to fund John Tory's FREEtrack.


Thank You for supporting your mayor's fantasies.

I suppose I should add to it as long as they want my input.

Make sure the Unions understand that that their time of dictating things are over and they need to be reasoned in their negotiating and not piss off the voters so they feel the need to elect another 4 years of Ford.

And I would advise the sanitation workers east of Yonge st to check the website job postings.

And perhaps also speak to some of the available councillors to get over their denial that their actions in 2009 led directly to the rise of Rob Ford. Once they realize it wasn't a blip in the business as usual perhaps they won't have have to worry as much about being downsized and privatized.

(Anbarandy, for whatever it's worth, and without really knowing what your occupation is or was, I think sanitation 'engineers' deserve more pay than a bus driver.)

Lucky us who live in The west end. During the next garbage strike all the garbage stench will be concentrated by the beaches. Unfortunately we will have to pay toll to access the downtown core

And it starts NOW:

John Tory has hired two former lobbyists (in two significant positions on his staff) from Sussex Strategy Group, the lobbyists representing Robert Deluce and Porter Airlines.

Mr. Tory, please recuse yourself and your staff now from the BBTCA airport expansion file.

His corporate friends and backers are salivating at the possibilities. IE: Property developers and Tory's TIF.

Definitely can see him attempt to sell out Toronto property taxpayers to subsidize property developers all in the name of his FREEtrack fantasy scheme and personal infamy.

He has announced he will follow the rules. I believe that. He supports the airport I'm sure.

So do I. Already you are making allegations with nothing to back it up but conjecture. I'm sure if your girl Chow had gotten in I could of found a hundred connections to her campaign staff and volunteers to various organizations that would have received city funds.

All he has to do is recuse himself from actual votes if it comes to that. Beyond that any lobbying and support he brings in is perfectly legal and morally fine.

Its going to be fun watching you wail and knash your teeth!

I wish Tory all the best, however I don't think he will do much to improve the city. We'll see in four years.
I wish Ford won, because this Tory, it is the same old Toronto, I'll scratch your back, and you scratch mine. When the worm turns and the leftist regain power, taxes will go through the roof, and Toronto will decline even more.

The drugs, and the cancer took Rob Ford out of the race. Before that, he was attacked for not working with council. I thought that was the whole point, to change things. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. When you try to change the system, the system fights back to save itself.

That no councilor at City Hall wants to reduce the number of councilors, that says it all.

Tory is still a has been. His smart track is dumb.

I was in downtown today, and I was stunned at the number of people walking the streets, and no I am not talking about Bay St. south of Queen. People everywhere, but at night all gone. We need a downtown subway, and we need a subway in Scarborough, and yet, the only thing some leftist care about is more streetcars.

What Tory has to do, is cut the budget drastically, then pour the money into subways. Ask the Feds for help, because those Liberals at Queen Park has no money.

Tory talks and says the right thing, but I do not think he is that dumb. The writing is on the wall. The left has never been weaker in this city, and this is the time to push a real money saving agenda, with tax cuts and paying down the debt.

In the long run, the city is still in trouble, because too much revenue is coming from developmental fees for all those crappy built condos going up.

The only way Tory can succeed is to continue the Ford agenda. Otherwise, get ready for Tory versus Ford four years from now.

Would he crack down on massage parlours? Rob Ford seemed to be more tolerant about this industry.
Tory, really is the great unknown.

He sounds like that guy we heard before, but now at 60 years old, an old man, age changes people.

People get more conservative with age, less radical, less willing to try new ideas.

My bet is more cronyism, and nudging the agenda to the right.

Tory said he will contract out the rest of the garbage collection. He should be able to deliver on that.

Have you seen what's on his plate walking in?

Transit, Gridlock, The Gardiner, The Airport, TCHC, new Chief, City Manager to hire.

That's just the highlights. Pretty sure its about as low on his radar as it gets.

The left wing councillors have a announced that they will give Tory a chance,...well that's awfully nice of them,...and if he doesn't agree to their agenda,...???

The fact that they did NOT get the majority of the vote,...and yet feel they should be the ones to run the city,...tells you what the problem with TO is.

The 15 alleged 'left wing' councilors actually did get a majority of the votes cast. That's why they are on the new council representing their constituents.

I don't support the leftists, but those 'streetcars' you're talking about are LRTs. Big difference. They might have worked in Scarborough just fine. We will have to employ a mix of LRTs and subways to bring this city up to speed with rapid transit and to reduce gridlock.

You are right, I worded that wrong,...should have said,...the "left" did NOT get the majority of the votes,...BUT my statement still stands, that they incorrectly feel they have a right to run the city, and will decide to either work with the new mayor,...or not.
