Y'know, I was thinking of the various Ford-advisory "Night Shifts" when one figure popped up in some transit-discussion thread on my Facebook feed, a figure that may ring a bell for those of you who were hanging around Urban Toronto a decade ago or so--Michael Binetti aka "miketoronto". Anyone remember him? A major pest who ran last or next-to-last in a couple of Ward 38 races and who kept starting up or feeding cockamamie-naive threads about how (and usually from a painfully parochial and self-serving Scarberian perspective) Toronto was "falling behind" in some dumb and all-too-often transit-related way or another, before he got pretty much hounded out of here and hunkered down in Skyscraper City instead.
As I think of it...perhaps it's *him* we have to blame for Subways Subways Subways. Because I wouldn't be surprised if Binetti approached RoFo, and RoFo being RoFo, he was all ears--anyone else would've "known Binetti's number", at least until the apparent success of this gambit forced the likes of erstwhile-election-opponent Glenn DeB on-side.
Oh, incidentally, Binetti's not exactly the Flagg Nation venal sort--more like a "I wanna pony" overgrown naive little boy. Which, come to think of it, *does* befit the RoFo id.
