Sorry but if I'm broke and can't make ends meet I usually tighten my belt, stop spending and cut from my budget unnecessary things.
But the city is not 'broke'.

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.
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.
Who the fuck do they think they are? It's not like they were elected to city council or anything. Fuckers! Pretending they should have a hand in running the city. The nerve! What a bunch of assholes!

You are absolutely right,...they are a bunch of FUCKING ASS HOLES, for already creating a divide in council.

The have NO right to special treatment from the majority of council, just because they are the lonney left,...

They have no more rights than any other single councillor,...other than the right to be ASS HOLES I guess.

Is there a line that seperates the looney left from the majority of councillors,...???

Or are they just following the time honoured looney left tradition of mob rule,...

Let us know when can we expect them to set up a picket line, if they don't get their looney ideas to pass,...???

A question for ya,...are you filling in for the 2 banned, anti Canadian commies,...???

I totally voted for Olivia just based on Asian Fever.
What'd odd is that back during the 90's I though she was extremely ugly. But over the past 12 years I'm finding her inoffensive, even good looking for a middle aged lady. I guess it helps that she now puts a little more effort into her presentation instead of her old look which seemed to strive for some hardcore feminist rejection of vanity.

What's even more strange is that I actually liked Chow as a Federal MP! At first it was only relief that she is no longer in City Hall. But I then observed that her performance in opposition was very good and I rarely had a problem with things she proposed. I just feel that many of the big-picture social issues she wants to tackle are more appropriately handled at the Federal & Provincial level.

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

That's just the highlights. Pretty sure its about as low on his radar as it gets.
Doesn't reassure me. I certainly don't believe he has any interest in going there. But I fear he could be pushed around, with his preoccupation of being cooperative & conciliatory, this would certainly be an issue where he could give ground to councilors who want to revisit MP & SC issues.

Can you really imagine Tory having the political balls to scoff back at councilors or reporters if confronted with some sensationalized accusation like his reluctance to crack down on Pleasure industries amounts to supporting pimping, trafficking & child abuse?

Some of this can come into play of course. Mammoliti being tthe worst offender of sticking his nose in it.

First thing though is who they choose as chief. Then the budget. Then what type of crime is on the radar. My thought is the shootings/stabbings/gang type will top the list in conjunction with community outreach of police to try to stem it.

Since amalgamation there hasn't been anything remotely resembling a crack-down despite having the laws now to raid and the obviousness of several incalls. And we basically just elected the same group in again.

If there is any push the underlying theme will be towards development and gentrification and the removal of stripjoints and MP's in areas so as to raise property values. Expect HOL 1 and 2 and Club Paradise to come under scrutiny. And the Queensway MP's first.

Beyond that the police will only react in the case of complaints. Probably of incalls in condo and the like.

Remember this about Tory. He was well known for having handled and standing up to Ted Rogers when he was there. He is tougher than you think.

Well said,Sir...

Absolutely. Now that Rob's safely back on the ward level where they know and like him, the rest of Council might re-discover how to get real City business done once more, with an actual Mayor rather than a wannabe pothole-patcher sowing anarchy, discord, fear and shame where we need leadership.

With the largest turnout ever, Ford Nation still lost votes compared to last time. Whether it was because the Drunken Serial Liar wasn't running, or The Smarter Enabling Bro' was, the 'Ford' part of whatever passes for thought in that population just wasn't the draw it once was. And we can all be grateful for that.
...in short, a cure for Fordpox.
