Garbage strike not so bad!!!

[buckwheat1]

when I got home yesterday I happen to turn on Toronto city counsel they were talking about city grants. Now all you folks who said city (union) workers are paid to much and your taxes are going up!!!! This is what I clearly heard and it was stated by Rob Ford.

The city pays $8000 to someone to teach children how to stilt walk
" " " $21000 to someone to teach people how to grow a garden
" " " thousands to male bath houses
and other crazy things too


This is also in Thursdays Toronto Sun, now this is a WASTE of money!!!

Agreed. All levels of government do spend money on the most ridiculous things in my opinion and some of them that you noted are just that.

That doesn't take anything away from the union.

But here's the thing...

If you don't like this "waste" of money (and it sounds like a waste to me), do something about it! Contact your municipal rep and give them an earful. Ranting on the internet accomplishes nothing!

The fact that people aren't pressuring their municipal reps to turn off the taps tells me people either support the spending or accept it.

So I don't lose any sleep over it.

I'm not worried about it I don't live in the city I live where we have a reeve

There is so much waste of taxpayers money at all government levels, it's sickening, you don't want to know. In all the years of hearing this waste, I have given up. I have complained to my reperesentative at all levels, bottom line, they're all in it, they all waste money, sad but that's reality. I have absolutely no repsect for politicians at all.

You can always move to Hamilton.

Go to Rob Ford's website. He's our taxpayer crusader. His antics are sometime foolish but he earns his salary. He's very active in his ward and has built up a loyal following.

Ford is a crude boorish ignoramus right wing kook.

I can imagine if he read your posts he would not speak highly of you

 

[buckwheat1]

Ford is a hard worker for sure, but I wouldn't vote for him for mayor there wouldn't be anything left, make no mistake about it his printing company helps him out.

 

[train]

that was insightful.

Having a union mouthpiece trash you is the best endorsement Ford could get.

I see nothing wrong with this.

 

[buckwheat1]

go to the local library and get a book on gardening saving us $21000

The bath house thing is for AIDS testing / education and such in bath houses.

I don't have a problem with with the city funding this since it will theoretically reduce the spread of AIDS in the community.

I DO have a problem with the City funding shit like Nuit Blanche and Gay Pride Day, and Caribana.

I'm a bit of a rightwing guy myself, but Ford is a buffoon.

It's quite sad that Ford has tainted the family name a bit, he's nothing like his father was in Etobicoke. I understand Rob's ways but don't really appreciate it, he can get his message across just as strong if he didn't act like an ass sometimes, I guess his father slipped on that point.
