Reflecting on how John Tory resists working with responsible, reasonable progressive councillors (despite claiming he's Mr. Moderate) but spent years, terms, playing nice with and indulging Holyday, putting him in positions, and even making him a Deputy Mayor for I'm not sure what — for doing his best to be the most cruel, most anti-housing, most obstructionist, most anti-anything good on council? Same with DMW, Nunziata. If there's an aggressively awful clearly a toxic and unkind conservative on council, you know John Tory will have a position for them, but responsible progressives, no.Councillor Holyday is special and he knows it. Here's his question/suggestion to staff on how to address fiscal challenges:

Who knows, maybe he’ll run for mayor!One could also pay Councillors more slowly (or pay them less) and maybe only pay suppliers after 6 months? There is no end to stupid ideas and no doubt we can rely on Holyday to find them. If only Mammoliti were still there, HE would have bven more.
That has to piss off the 11.6 million Ontarians (79.8% of the pop.) who do not live in Toronto and are thus ignored by this government.... mind you they should count themselves lucky.I think Doug has made it clear by now that managing municipal affairs is his lane.
I imagine the rest of Ontario is okay as long as it's seen as either A) Owning the Libs B) Doing the opposite of what Toronto wants.That has to piss off the 11.6 million Ontarians (79.8% of the pop.) who do not live in Toronto and are thus ignored by this government.... mind you they should count themselves lucky.
Maybe we can have a referendum in the by-election to have Stephen Holyday do an IQ test.Ha! Councillor Holyday is outdoing himself!
A motion to 'pause' on collecting the City Building Levy this year.
The budget already has a huge hole in it, this would blow that hole open to an entirely new level.
Edit to Add: The Speaker just ruled this out of order, as the levy money is already allocated to ongoing projects, so the motion would have to find offsets to fund those obligations.
I see Holyday opposed all 3 motions - what a tool!Motions that have passed thus far:

There will be more, this is on-going.
From a city budget perspective, it saves money in the very short run as well. Big win!That saves money in the long run
Or even more draconian, stop leaf collection in Etobicoke. The horror!
Was there a vote for that item? I'd love to know how Holyday voted if there was.We have, effective this year, killing it was in the budget.
