Wrong again, but anyway, so you're defending people that make fun of people based solely on their looks?
Can't wait for Ford to get rid of another nussiance fee that Miller put in (the 5 cent bag fee.) So good to see him undoing all the mistakes Miller made.
I know people on here love paying as many user fees, taxes, levies, tolls as possible but the rest of Toronto (the majority of Toronto) will be glad when it's gone.
And it's not a lost revenue stream because the money never came into the city.

Wrong again. The Globe wrote back at the beginning of the campaign the he talks openly about struggles with his weight. He commented in at least one of the debates that he could loose a few pounds. Heck, he was the one, over a year ago, shortly after the election cracking jokes about his weight - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/02/17/ford-returns.htmlWrong again
No, I didn't say that. Besides, there are so many other reasons to make fun of Rob Ford, based on his bizarre beliefs, and pathological lying.but anyway, so you're defending people that make fun of people based solely on their looks?
The 5 cent bag cost is not a big deal but the manner in which it was implemented and the ultimate benefactor is a big deal.
Had the City mandated the presence at the POP of a receptacle into which the money was to be placed instead of the retailer's cash register the shopper would have no trouble with the process whatsoever in the knowledge that the money would be collected and distributed through out the City in a transparent fashion to those in need.
It is, after all, supposed to be a fine exacted for having forgotten to make other arrangements to carry your purchases home not a profit opportunity for the retailer. Retailers don't miss a chance to bleat about their super slim markup margins of about 2 or 3 %, why wouldn't they be all over an opportunity to mark up a plastic bag 1,000%.
Leave the bag tax in place but change the manner in which it is collected and used. See above.
I'm not so sure about Toronto in the 19th Century, but the taboos we have here and now about cemeteries are far from universal across the globe and throughout time. In some cultures, it is quite normal to go and visit deceased loved ones, to sit around picnicing with them, &c.

It's a tiny fee that does a good job of reducing the use of plastic bags, which aren't good for the environment. Once you buy a cheap reusable bag, you don't have to worry about the fee. It's nice to see fewer bags in trees and creeks in the past few years. David Miller's many progressive initiatives which got international attention made me proud to live in Toronto.
