Just like the Carbon Tax puts MORE money in the pockets of Canadians who need it.
The Left doesn't even try to make it make sense.

My main concern with her is she defined budgeting as follows.
Decide what you want then either go get more money from Fed/Prov or raise taxes until
you have enough. She actually said this in the debate. No thought of we only have so much even crosses her mind.
Olivia Chow = Ineptocracy
Ineptocracy = a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Tax the rich, get the province, with its $22 billion surplus, to pay for more Metrolinx, transit and health care.
all i fucking want is our roadways to have a minimal number of pot holes....construction sites where construction workers are actually working rather than walking up and down with coffee in hand................and a leader who has some semblance of emphathy and compassion for those people standing and waiting for a bus along Finch Ave at 6am on a cold january morning...................i dont give a frigg about removing bike lanes, eliminating injection sites and all the other things that right wing yahoos screech about....and of those who run vanity campaigns by putting their face on signs....please go away with your obscene narcissism..
On a cbc debate I heard while driving the MC asked the candidates what they would do on day one. Chow said 'potholes', she knows the city and its responsibilities and the timings for dealing them.
Got news for you, that's how budgeting is supposed to work.
The Tory, Mel and Rob's way was to pick a number as long as it was 0, 1, or 2, then pare services to fit that #.
Repeat that flawed and failed process for 12 consecutive years and voila, Toronto is decaying and facing a $46.5billion budgetary gap over the next 10 years.
And you more of the same shit?
Lol. So let me get this straight. When you are doing your household budget you make up a wish list, then go hat in hand to your parents,and the bank, and if they don't give you enough money you force your kids to make up the difference?
Don't be naive, Darts. They will ALL raise taxes. Only Chow and Matlow have admitted it.
Good thought, and I agree, but how practical is that. We are not close to either a provincial or a federal election, so neither government will be handing out goodies. Ford appears to be hoarding money so he has plenty to dole out when re-election time comes around.
HaHa!!!! If Olivia Chow is elected Mayor I don't expect the strong mayor powers to last long.
This will be DoFo: "Friends, I have listen to the hard working people of Ontario and decided they don't want their mayors to have strong powers. Blah, blah, blah......".
again..it doesnt matter what their policy pronouncements are....or promises they make.........they will disappear as fast as a fart in a windstorm....study their backstory...who they hang with,,who are in their backrooms and who their donors are.....this guy Furey has advanced in the polls little bit..so i checked out his story....a far right kook show who has buried his past from voters......Saunders is a marionette for Ford...as negative and dispirited as they come....Bailio is like that 3 day old tapioca pudding you forgot about in your fridge...and Matlow seems to be a know it all nob...Mitzi Hunter seems as upbeat and positive as anyone can be who is polling at 7/10%....seems genuine enough....Olivia Chow is a leftie who will be constrained by Council....she doesnt blow in the wind..her world view has never waived...and after a dozen years of right wing rule with do nothing Mayors who watched over crumbling and filthy streets,,,chocked the TTC with service cuts while raising fares...and bending over to rich elites...time for a breath of fresh air
