So I am guess you are for the 28.2% of the Toronto to form its own borough? :) Sorry to be cynical, but where were these people who suddenly support breaking up Toronto when Miller was elected?

As I said, it's up to the prosecutor and the court to say whether the cops broke the law. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. You can appear as a witness, but that's about it. All charges against Daivd Chen have been dismissed although if you filmed it, it would probably show Chen beat up a guy...

The momentum of lavish spending and higher taxes? Good for Toronto. People voted Ford in to stop the momentum (they have a different name for it), and if Ford could deliver that, he had served his purposes.

Seems like the people of Toronto do not agree with the self-claimed elitists.

I think the response from the people of Toronto is "We don't care". Let's be cynical for a minute here, I suspect for a lot of people, Toronto is where they work and live in. It's just like Walmart is where they shop at. They don't give a damn about Walmart's labour practices or whether the...

Toronto's average house price is above $400K and probably higher for semi-detached and detached homes and probably much higher for these neighbourhood. As I said, TCHC estimated that to replace these units, they would have to spend $11M. It really depending on the law. Does the law say that...

How many home owners don't drive a car? I'd say they are a very small minority. Do you really believe that non-drivers pay more taxes on average than drivers? I'd say it's much more likely that drivers are subsidizing public transit, social housing and welfare payments. I never said the city...

They can only get $8.4 million (likely less since these are run down houses whereas assessments are usually done based on location), not $11 million. It would have cost them $11 million to buy replacement houses. I actually didn't notice a lot of refugees. Consider that the average waiting...

The problem is TCHC can't sell it to anybody who is not a social housing organization without replacing the unit. They estimate that it would cost them $11M to replace the houses if they had sold them on open market. Therefore, by "selling" it for $400,000, they came out $3M ahead. I'd say...

I like your original statement better, "Driving is a subsidized activity". I would go a step further, a lot of consumptions are subsidized activities in Canada. That's why taxes should move from income based to consumption based.

You are over-simplifying the situation. Even then, you acknowledged that it's highly subjective. And you paying income taxes does not say much. I can give you a list of students who don't drive and don't pay income taxes and I am fairly sure I am subsidizing their tuition fee. As I said, there's...

I'd say we do not need a solution. Poverty is a fact of life, and there's nothing wrong with it. Education is important, but Canada has already got a pretty good education system that offers opportunities to anybody who is willing to work hard. Again, I use Rocco Rossi as an example. He wasn't...

I think it should be signature based. If you can get say 10,000 signature, then you can get onto the ballot.

The Sun seems to be crying foul about a deal in which TCHC will "sell" 20 houses worth about 8.4 million for less than $400,000. JOE WARMINGTON wrote "You don’t need a business background to know this is just nuts. It makes bunny suit rentals look like a shrewd investment." Well, Joe...

Depending on how you do it, I don't think they counted the ballot in Toronto by hand. Computers will have a very hard time telling 2 from 3. And the voters will have a hard time dealing with a format that computers can understand easily. I think it should be done, but needs to be done in a clean...

And the fact that you and drone saw completely different things is why "looks like" doesn't count as breaking the law, not officially at least. I don't think G20 actions have gone through the count systems yet, so I would reserve my judgement although one can argue that everybody is innocent...

You will also need to factor in that a lot of non-drivers also don't pay income taxes or property taxes. I highly doubt if you factored everything in, drivers are subsidized by non-drivers. Unless you count people with a chauffeur as non drivers. :) I am fine with getting rid of on street...

So in your opinion, if you supported somebody you can't "diss" him? That's a very strange logic. Just because you thought Smitherman was perfect and couldn't be criticized, doesn't mean people supported Ford thought Ford was perfect.
