So What's New At Our Funny Farm.......

......nothing from the look of things.

Miller's no Obama
As negativity builds, our mayor fails to inspire. But really folks, it's not that bad
By ROB GRANATSTEIN
A serious strain of negativity seems to be sweeping across this city.

Green P parking is on you
Turns out Toronto's tree-hugging politicians like to drive -- and park for free at the city's lots
By SUE-ANN LEVY
With the socialists busily snapping up $1 million in green electricity to power City Hall and new green vehicles for the city's fleet last week, I figured there might have been some red faces over council's use of Green P parking lots.

Encouraging socialists

Re "Heading in wrong direction" (Sue-Ann Levy, Feb. 10): The Toronto Board of Trade's suggestion that the city consider implementing a 3% residential property surcharge (on top of the city's proposed property tax increase of 3.75%) is outrageous. For Board President Carol Wilding to recommend to Mayor David Miller and his band of tax-happy socialists the infrastructure problems facing Toronto be funded on the backs of property owners, who are already facing umpteen tax increases and/or new user fees, is infuriating and disappointing. Levy's conspiracy theory makes sense -- if the Board of Trade publicly favours more taxes on property owners, it takes the heat off Wilding's members as a source of additional taxation, and emboldens David Miller to levy more taxes ("revenue tools") on homeowners.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
