I'm not getting Mammo with 11. Really Tory? WTF.

 

[basic]

A relatively minor one, compared to his other transgressions. He will see his day.

AoD

Agreed, still I gave the integrity commish the heads up.

Too bad Karla's grandparents aren't around to set the record straight.

But recall - according to the Toronto census they converted to Salvation Army.

John Tory. Bringing the city together, well not really.

Shouldn't have bothered, it is SOP at Council meetings...
Did you heads up the IC because Nunziata voted for herself as Speaker or same question for Carroll as Deputy Speaker?

Proof is in the pudding, but it sounds good enough. Just getting parked/stopped cars off the road would be a big win. Getting rid of the taxis/couriers mucking up St. Clair on both sides of Yonge would make that back into an arterial, for example.

I doubt the downtown portion of Yonge will ever be an arterial road, nor should it be.

What do people think about Tory's transit presser this morning.

These a common sense policies that should have been implemented a long time ago. Good on Tory for being on board.

That said, this is more symbolic than anything. It won't do much to reduce congestion. I'd be surprised if it results in a notable reduction in commute times. The only way to significantly reduce congestion is to get people out of their cars. Frankly, the biggest benefit of this may be making drivers feel a little better about their situation, which is a noble goal in itself.

JT better not step out of that meeting without transit funding in hand.

If he doesn't, we can vote for Doug or Ms. Chow next time. Maybe they can do a better job.

Are you saying Rob/Doug never discussed things with Flaherity? That statement is a little ludicrous.

Perhaps they didn't say anything constructive or helpful but they had as much access to Flaherity as Harper did, perhaps even more.

They likely wouldn't do it in their first week as mayor. Doug would be on Kimmel right now instead.
