Toronto the most miserable city in Canada: Study

[Dan416]

I still think a big deal is being made out of us being 5.5% less happy than the people in the happiest place in Canada.

*(Accurate within 5 happiness percentages, 19 times out of 20.)

I'll gladly sacrifice 5% happiness points not to live in Sherbrooke or Brantford.

In the words of Popeye Doyle: "I'd rather be a fire hydrant in New York than the president of France."

 

[Bogtrotter]

Indeed I'd rather be pickin' my feet in Poughkeepsie than living in Sherbrooke again.

I just became a miserable Torontonian yesterday with Ford being sworn in and canceling Transit City plans while being very concerned about what he'll cancel or slash next.

This one seems to think he does. And right now he's lording over City Hall like the alpha-bully at recess.

At least he was elected with a mandate to kill Transit City. I don't remember Transit City ever being campaigned on in an election.

Not quite right. He was elected mainly to rein in the unions, control costs and make city hall more effective. Transit was an afterthought.

What is the deal with Yahoo News anyway? It seems to highlight "news" stories which are very negitive towards progressive policies, people and cities. You will never see a positive Toronto, Obama or "climate change is real" story on there. Is it owned by the QMI agency or something?

Also, they post "news" which happened 2 days ago.

 

[OttoSchloss]

Bragging rights!

Hang on ... your trying to tell us Transit City wasn't campaigned on during that year-long marathon election we just finished?

The nitwit won with the " protest vote ". Hold on to your saddles , munchkins , there's a new sherriff in town. If you think the Common Sense Revolution made sense, you'll be seized by the sequel.
