Norm Kelly does not believe in democracy. He once said the city will follow Ford's plan, regardless of the vote, despite the fact that Kelly voted in favour of Transit City seven times before.
Giorgio Mammoliti does not believe in democracy. He called Janet Davis a communist and other leftists communists on Fakebook as well, despite the fact that he used to be a member of the provincial NDP.
Rob Ford does not believe in democracy. He called Josh Matlow two steps to the left of Joe Stalin on a local radio talk show, despite the fact that Matlow is a centrist.
The three, as well as Rob Ford's puppeteer brother and Doug Holyday and some members of Ford Nation (especially those lurking in online comments of mainstream newspapers and major social networks), believe that bullying "lieberals," "libtards," "pinko kooks," "bleeding-hearts," "lefties," and "commies," is the way to go. This is why I stopped reading them. I do not want my intelligence insulted or my privacy compromised.
If the Ford "twins," Holyday, Kelly, Mammoliti, and some members of Ford Nation were to rule the world, it will be an Orwellian world with Bangkok-like traffic congestion, with people who disagree with them being re-educated or attacked mercilessly. Everyone will be intoxicated to the point that His Worship becomes a Cult of Personality. This is why democracy is very important for the people of Toronto and Transit City has been backed by over 50% of city council, and it is well thought and well researched. Developing constructive critical thinking skills is one of the best way to prevent fascist dictatorships, since it allows people to see through simple slogans and encourage them to do thorough research. Wikipedia is a good website however, since it is used for research, aims to be as neutral as possible, and promotes a true sense of democracy, since bigoted comments (from any political angle even) are removed rather promptly and those who write these comments get blocked very often.
