Brad Bradford said council recently spent (wasted) 90 minutes debating the names for the subway stations on SmartTrack. Why not just name them "A", "B", "C", etc.?
No the following really is waste:
Every council vote on capital spending that has led to monumental financial and fiscal catastrophe was led by a center-right mayor and powered to infamy by a center-right council majority. These center-right majorities have wasted and squandered billions of dollars which btw consume and will continue consuming billions of dollars in ongoing operating costs.
1) The $1billion Sheppard stubway
2) The $2-3billion Scarborough subway extension.
3) The $2billion realignment of the eastern end of the Gardiner Expressway a few meters north.
4) The $1billion
Smart Dumbtrack
In addition to the above financial and fiscal calamities it was the center-right mayors and center-right councils that voted in the majority to:
1) Cancel the fully Provincially funded Transit City Plan - billions of scarce resources down the drain
2) Scrap heap the Vehicle Tax - $60million a year in revenue down the drain
With that great power as you claim, these majority center-right councilors and center-right mayors have squandered the great responsibility that you also doth protest that they should be held to account for.
In addition, the TTC is the 2nd largest transit system in North America, second only NYC. Yet they are the least provincially and statewide, publicly funded transit system in N.A. by a LOT. The province used to fund the TTC, but guess what? Yes, you guessed it, the center-right provincial gov't downloaded the funding onto the backs of the taxpayers of T.O., who you pound the pulpit and wail aresacrosanct.
Spare me your drive-by musings as I know what is fancy and folly, ignorance and illusion with what is evident and true.
My lord, good man, it can't be that you want more of the same.
"Sir, can I have some more, please."
You're quite mad, you know.
