Hi, I'm not Andy, I'm his expense's guilty conscience. I have lived in taxpayer funded luxury since 2011. MABAGA. Make Andy's Bank Account Great Again.
***Update, I was able to find detailed information for Andy from 2004-2006 and have updated my information sheet accordingly. #cdnpoli#cdnmedia#AndysExpenses
Doug Ford has violated the City of Toronto Act. Which promises consultation between City and Province in any municipal changes.

The City has an excellent case for a Charter challenge to Ford's changes.

@EyesOnToronto @mikepaulmurphy Ummm, yes it did. City of Toronto Act is a series of acts of Parliament that govern and organise the City of Toronto. This act has existed in many forms from. 1834-present. The COTA however was created by Bill 103 in 1997, that specific name.
I have a question for @AndreaHorwath, will the @OntarioNDP employ any legislative delaying or filibuster tactics to prevent any legislative changes to the municipality of Toronto, or the elections in Toronto, so the city can seek legal options? #TOpoli#Toronto#onpoli
@kevin_wiener@iamdavidmiller Thanks. Do you know when the Legislation will be completed? Or tabled? Would that be a factor in the feasibility of the changes?
I wonder if an NDP filibuster could derail it. Just spitballiing.
@kevin_wiener@iamdavidmiller Depending on the timing of the legislation, could it be challenged on the basis that it makes the election process impractical, or the changes being impossible to implement in the remaining time before Oct 22nd? There is a minute possibility that an injunction could be possible.
The #BlockedByRempel experiment. A sad statement on the lack of accountability and inaccessibility of @CPC_HQ politicians to the taxpayers who pay their salaries. #Thread#cdnpoli https://t.co/H3ddpUK0Xz
@FollowTheSpiri2 @michaelshaw1122 I would say the facts about Doug Ford's lack of intelligence are self-evident each time he speaks, for research and provable facts see all of my other Tweets. He asked about my account, not about Doug Ford. Reading comprehension is a thing.
How can anyone watch a Doug Ford press conference and come to any conclusion other then that he has no idea what he is talking about, and is an intellectually vacuous moron devoid of thought? If Doug Ford wanted to be mayor of Toronto, he should have ran for mayor #onpoli#TOpoli
@Thebigguy360 @yychoeman Sure thing, 8 follower troll. Go have some adult explain research to you and come back with facts, Smitty.
Conversely, I meant no disrespect HoemanYYC.
Yes the Province has the right to amend the City of Toronto Act, the spirit of the act states the province will make changes only after consultation with the city. If they do not it opens the Province to litigation, under section 135, Changes To Council. #onpoli#TOpoli#Toronto
EX: in Reference Re Provincial Electoral Boundaries (Sask), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 158, The SCC rejected the US principle of "one man, one vote" from the US Supreme Court decision of Baker v. Carr (1962), and instead held that the right to vote meant "effective representation" #topoli
@Thebigguy360 The spirit of the law states the province will make changes only after consultation with the city. If they do not it opens the Province to litigation, under section 135, Changes To Council, under The City and its Goverance.
@Thebigguy360 @yychoeman The courts will be deciding this. Section 3 of the Charter doesn't specify what at what level of government it's responsibility to provide equal representation ends.
And by the way, there are court precedents showing equal representation being a charter right. Nice try, though.
@yychoeman Section 3, Sizes of constituencies.
Supreme Court has also ruled that section 3 guarantees a measure of equality in voting. In Reference re Prov. Electoral Boundaries (Sask.) (1991),[8] it was found that
constituencies should have roughly the same number of voters.
Let's see how the @CPC_HQ would feel if Justin Trudeau changed federal riding boundaries for predominantly Conservative areas like rural with urban areas before the 2019 Federal Election. I wonder if they would be as diplomatic as they are about Ford's changes. #onpoli#cdnpoli
@EdwardSpader City of Toronto Act is the name of a series of different acts of parliament that have governed the organization and political powers of the city since Toronto's original incorporation as a city in 1834.
But don't let facts interfere with your idiocy and outrage.
