Excellent letter. Time to go, Don. Bow out gracefully while there’s still time.

I think Cherry is slowly mentally slipping a few gears – whether talking hockey, politics, or Cdn troops. I wish his family(where are you Tim Cherry?)would pull him out of the limelight before he really embarasses himself. What little he had to offer hockey is long gone. Shame on CBC and HNIC for allowing this buffoonery to continue. And Ford? What was he thinking?

Andy –

The unions do still protect the working man. To a fault actually. And that’s why Rob Ford wants to break them, not because they don’t stand for the working man but that they get too much for the working man that it’s costing too much money. They’re too powerful, in his opinion, which is why he wants to privatize garbage collection. How he thinks privatization will save the residents money is beyond me. But it’s about saving money, not standing up for the working man.

You mention the lady with the tree story that Don talked about. Well, the truth about that story is that it has nothing to do with Rob Ford. The cheque she was issued just happened to coincide with Rob’s first day in office. The actual case was started by Toronto ombudsman Fiona Crean back in June and it was initiated because of phone calls the woman’s son made. After her investigation Ms. Crean made 17 recommendations to the city, including that licensing and standards apologize to the woman and her son, reimburse their money and replace the tree.
Did the city fuck up? Absolutely. Did making it right have anything to do with Rob Ford? Nothing at all, but he’ll take credit for it. Or at least he won’t correct Don when he’s wrong because whether Don is right or not is irrelevant. What important is with Don what you see is what you get. Crap.

Okay. No one is tearing the roof off to get stinky erased so we will leave him as evidence of the most extreme and disappointing voices in our city.

Now for a real comment. Well people in four years when your city is in a shambles, you have homeless people camping everywhere and your costs have gone through the roof and benefits have disappeared you will realize that the rich of the world did not get there by looking after anyone but themselves.
When your garbage collection does not work, transit is totally broken and you no longer recognize your city you will vote this pig out of office.
