Silly season?

I cannot cry for laughing.

Toronto City Council has decided not to solve our so-called fiscal crisis because there is a provincial election in the works and some councillors do not have the nerve to levy fees. Oh. I see.

It says here they are duckers of duty. They have cloaked their cowardice in a mantle woven of hope and sanctimony. And such is the crude glory of democracy.

Rather than do its duty, council has ordered itself to ask provincial candidates to promise to bail us out if they are elected. Let me see if I understand this right:

Politicians who do not keep their promises are asking politicians who do not keep their promises to make us a promise.

Vote for me.
