Well, we finally got power at 6:40 am (it went out about 10 am Sunday), Ford's house got power at 10:30 pm Sunday.
I'll chime in that Ford FUBAR'd the city by ignoring a class 2 or 3 emergency, it does not matter if he is totally responsible or not, one of his remaining powers as Mayor was and is to protect the people of Toronto, in which he has failed. The buck stops at the Mayor's office, no matter what RoFo says or who he will try to blame after the truths come out.
This will allow RoFo to shine at the only thing he is truly efficient at, apologizing for a short coming, of which he has many.
As I understand, the powers that be were fully aware of the impending storm, and the problems it posed. One fact I see is that there was/is an arrogance that prevented the powers that be to aquire extra feet on the ground. Doing so would have shortened response times and shortened peoples' wait for power. That said, I agree that by Monday afternoon, not Sunday night, it could be seen as too late to take proper action since emergency crews were "making progress", although, 24h to 36h later than they should have been at that point. The number of boots on the ground was/is the real factor to look at first, and they failed.
Oh ya, to quote Denis Leary, "Merry Fucking Christmas".
