This kind of fake pandering is exhausting. The real reason there is no funded plan for light rail in Scarborough is all the money is being consumed by the SSE, something @McKelvieWard25 supports. The blame lies with them and them alone.

@normsworld @DanFoxTO Please remember that we are going by available voting data, not analysis of the races.

@SwanBoatSteve Couldn't agree more! The discussion paper's recommendation is: Reduce the number of Councillors on as many boards as possible and replace them with citizens. Emphasis on "as possible". And clearly, who gets appointed and by whom is critical.

@jillianives Suppose they fire half the people at your job, then ask you and the remaining others to work 80-hour weeks to make up the difference. Not good for you; terrible for your clients, but everyone who has no stake in the matter has already "adjusted".

Since we now have only half the City Councillors, is there an opportunity for engaged citizens to shoulder some of the load? Read “The New Reality” at https://t.co/8TvyNgegTM #topoli #onpoli #savethesix #handsofftoronto #killbill5
