It only takes a few voices, raised loudly and vulgarly, to smear the process.
Also, Councillor Norm Kelly (Ward 40, Scarborough-Agincourt) says no matter the results of the vote, the province should ignore council and start digging them subways. A gem of a man, him. If you’re into the downtown driving (and who isn’t?), you may...
Councillor Joe Mihevc. "I think a full airing is important." And if a majority of council votes in favour of the predominantly surface light rail plan, one Ford ally suggested the provincial agency spearheading the expansion ignore it. "Because I think...
Most importantly of all, both sides need to dial down the rhetoric, which has reached alarming, almost laughable levels. On Tuesday, for instance, Councillor Norm Kelly, a Ford ally, seriously proposed that the Mayor should order his plan implemented...
