It's the free market working as it's supposed to, Doug. If you dislike capitalism so much, why not consider a residency in Cuba? I hear rum and cigars are very cheap there.

Ford on Mcguinty resigning:
"The Liberal government’s up to their eyeballs in scandals right now," said Ford.
"And I think he’s doing the right thing. He's skipper of the ship and, you know, when the ship is sinking, he's got to tell the crew: ‘That's it. We've got to move on.'"
I wonder if Ford saw any parallels when he uttered these words.
Nah.

On the topic of redistributing s. 37 funds, there's case law from the OMB that says there must be a "reasonable nexus" between the development site and the community facilities funded by s.37 monies. This usually means that the community facilities must be geographically proximate to the development site, which would presumably rule out redistributing s.37 funds across Toronto.
Mind you, I'm not an expert in planning law, but then again, neither are the Fords...

That explains why she voted the way she did on Jarvis. A councillor in one of the top cycling wards in the city voting against cyclists?...

Is this her announcing her candidacy for mayor?

At least unlike Ford, she immediately acknowledged the charges. But if convicted, she should, or be forced to resign.

Just riding a bike is not enough, the cat must be able to read at the same time. We DO have certain standards, you know.

If the cat can dial 9-1-1 with its paws, that's good enough.

Interesting article on Doug Ford's ongoing private sector is better rant. See this link for The Grid's article on Doug Ford doesn’t understand much about the private sector.

That's harsh. She committed an error and admitted it. If she gets prison time, then she should resign but this is a traffic infraction. Everybody does it at some point in their lives. They believe they're fine and they get behind the wheel. I don't condone drinking and driving but resigning over it is a step too far.
