Ontario consumers risk paying up to $65 a year extra in electricity bills because of the province's renewable energy agreement with Samsung. Article here: http://abetterenergyplan.ca/#/news/samsung_energy_deal Is it worth it?

Agreed. People elect the leaders they deserve. We need Ford if for no other reason to teach his converted supporters to do their research.

In an election, it's buyer beware. Ford and his opponents said/did the things they thought would get them elected. It's the voters job to carefully consider what is true, what is not, and who is credible.

Is Ontario going to build those nuclear plants and, if not, will we pay for it? "Abandoning nuclear power comes with a cost. Alternative energy sources can't make up for a relatively clean fuel." http://abetterenergyplan.ca/#/news/abandoning_nuclear

I can't believe it!

It's curious that he would go to McGuinty and tell the Premier that provincial money was tied to federal money. Turns out it's not and McGuinty can give him nothing and result in consequences. Did Ford not prepare for the meeting?

I said Asian. YOU mentioned skin colour. Can you not seperate the two?

We have Smart Meters in Toronto. What do you think of this: http://abetterenergyplan.ca/#/news/smart_meter

That's amazing. Rob Ford has not changed from his pre-mayor self and all his previous behavior was put out there during the campaign. Did they not pay attention to anything before they voted?

Yeah, they could. See the links above you. I've never read a Margaret Atwood book either but I sure as hell know who she is and I might actually be able to spot her on the street.

I know non-religious kids who say they went to Catholic school and said the religious influence was minimal and they didn't mind. However, I have met Catholic Board teachers are very religious and said they not allow kids to be non-religious in their classes. They think they can get away with...

I actually liked Ford's idea of building bike lanes in a square around the downtown core. We don't get them on every street, but it would give bikers a way to safely move around the area until you needed to enter into it. I think he said they would be dedicated lanes too.

I have trouble accepting this although I know it's true. Ford was a councilor for 10 years before becoming Mayor. He didn't change overnight; he's behaving exactly as he always has. If his supporters are surprised by him, they voted with a hand over their eyes and a finger in their ear.

It's all about how much. Apparently, Ontario's bill are expected to rise about $700/year within the next four years. Britain has a pretty aggressive green energy policy and its citizens are rebelling against high prices. Is this our future: http://abetterenergyplan.ca/#/news/green_backlash

I figured Canada would be ruled out for upcoming Olympics since we had Vancouver.

Rob was on the cover of McClean's a few months back. The Ford bros are making international headlines, notably Doug's 'Who's Margaret Atwood?' stuff made it into British newspapers. I like that people are talking about politics too but I wonder if all the attention plays into their narrative...

This will not help us revive Toronto's tourism.

You have to be a little bit bold in a big city. City people are not unfriendly, there is just a lot happening around them and they have to cut out some of it to stay sane. Try visiting some highly social areas. Snakes and Lattes is a really popular coffee and board game restaurant. Make ONE...
