- William Watson: Fix Toronto by taxing all of us? No, thanks!

If Torontonians are fixated on Toronto, let their taxes pay for the city’s plans
By William Watson

t is well understood across the country, though not necessarily in the city itself, that Toronto regards itself as the centre of the universe. In the city, they’re unaware of much of the rest of the universe. There’s just Tee-Oh itself, as most major national media, headquartered there, subtly reinforce. The Canadian version of the famous Saul Steinberg poster of New York would show Yonge Street, Bay Street, University, Spadina, then at roughly the same scale, the Prairies, the Rockies, the Pacific Ocean, China.
How validating to Torontonians, therefore, to learn that no less a world player than the OECD is now interested in such things as how long it takes to get from downtown to the airport, how green the Toronto Islands development is and whether the Leafs will ever improve (well, not actually that last bit).

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- 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.
