Next Mayor of Toronto?

Difficult to say as there really aren't any cities in Canada of a comparable size.

Saskatoon has about 1 employee to every 76 citizens.

Vancouver has about 1 to every 60.

Calgary has 1 to every 66.

There really doesn't seem to be anything that odd about the number of employees Toronto has.

Wow. Toronto has less employers per person than that apparently conservative haven Calgary :cool:

Your missing the point. If Government of Ontario has uploaded some services, the money is still being spent, but not showing up in city budget. One example is Region of York has stopped paying TTC to provide some it's services, and is providing it directly ... again it reduces the amount of Toronto total budget, without having anything to do with Ford.

That the total budget is frozen is very interesting. If taxes have continued to rise, and total spend is the same, this means that money from other governments has dropped significantly! Does this mean that some of it is Ford has failed to find funding from other governments that Miller could find?

No wonder why the 107 Keele North bus stopped going to Kirby.

This could be correct. Toronto has 83,174 companies vs. Calgary at 50,616, http://www.manta.com/world/North+America/Canada/Alberta/Calgary/ Assuming each company has the same average # of employees and given Toronto's population of 2.5 million vs. Calgary's population of 1.1 million, then Calgary has more employers per person than Toronto.

Toronto = 0.3 employers per person
Calgary = 0.5 employers per person

Of course this is all moot if the above originates from a boneheaded typo.

Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, while Toronto is the capital of Ontario. So there would be more government jobs in Toronto than Calgary, since Calgary is not a capital.

He was actually referring to city employees per person.

If he is alive (and fit to run) and/or not behind bars and/or not banned from running for office by then.

His only hope, assuming nothing prevents him from running, is winning a squeaker with a crowded field of more-or-less equally viable contenders, not unlike how John Parker (31%), Frank Di Giorgio (27%), Gary Crawford (25%) and James Pasternak (19%) were elected as Councillors in 2010.

But I think it's over for Ford and he'll get destroyed if he runs.
