Oh, and don't forget he was the diabolical one all about "creating a useful crisis in education" to justify the cuts either. Plus this cherry on the cake:

What a precious treasure he is. I mostly remember him being Minister of Natural Resources because he'd write in Ontario Out of Doors magasine. *shudder*....I don't like him.

The supreme irony of his career was being Minister of Education but not having finished high school.

Oh history is replete with these sort of ironies - e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Qing, the failed artiste.

This is likely because of health issues.

How about he was about to overextend himself what with being Deputy Mayor for Etobicoke, Vicechair of the EYCC, member of the Eco Dev Committee, on the TTC Board, two commitees involved with the GTAA and in his home ward the Thistletown board....Seems likely to be a pretty busy schedule even without the CNE and Toronto Hydro....Then again he expressed interest to the Clerk in sitting on the above listed boards except Dep Mayor and Vice....

I can understand that. Bad things happen when you get stretched too thin.

I would also like to say that, as someone who drives around central Toronto on the daily as part of my work, I have indeed noticed an improvement re: rush hour regulations.
For example, I saw two cars getting pulled over for driving in the streetcar lane, King Street, for the first time ever! Adelaide and Richmond are easier to drive now. So is King. So is Queen. Yes, sheriff....now, sheriff up some transit magic.

Oh, there's no need to even look that far afield. While Snobelen the dropout was in charge of education, the Minister of Transportation was Al Palladini, a car dealer. Let me find that list of things he did for transit ... it's around here somewhere ....

Ahhh... Strobel, I assume there is a point that sooner or later that shit gets real but his comparisons are humorous.

Utter waste of bandwidth, however little it takes up.
Ah thanks for the reminder - I forgot about Com Soc David "dented tuna" Tsubouchi completely too.

After Warmington, Strobel is surely one of the worst the Sun has. Smarmy, corny and witlessly petty.
