The issue is not just contracting out garbage collection, but how you do it.

Chris Selley’s Full Pundit: Michael Ignatieff stares into the abyss
Happy Christmas, your arse
Some farewell 2010 brickbats for Michael Ignatieff and the Liberals.
Sun Media’s Ezra Levant tees off on a very silly-looking bill that would strengthen bilingualism requirements for everyone from Mounties patrolling the Trans-Canada highway to, conceivably, minimum wage employees at airports. Levant ascribes all this to Mr. Ignatieff and his Liberals, for whom “forced bilingualism is a tool to beat up anglophone westerners (translation: Conservative voters) to the delight of Liberal voters in Montreal and Toronto.” It’s actually a private member’s bill in the Senate that was introduced six months ago, but what the hell — close enough!

A Glimmer Of Hope On New Council...
Q&A: Mary-Margaret McMahon on speeding up city council
Councillor McMahon was so “embarrassed” by a council meeting on Dec. 8 that dragged on for five hours that she got up at the one on Dec. 16 and gave her colleagues an earful. “It was a complete and utter waste of our time” she said
...and why is it necessary to have "quorum calls" when ever a vote is called. Why aren't councilors in their seats?

Common Sense Returning To Ameteur Sport?
Coach reinstated after protest over racial slur

Mayor Ford Message To Stintz...
...tell TTC Management and beauracrats to priortize this long outstanding issue and have a solution, cost and implementation date no later than Dec. 24th or expect Santa to handout pink slips. The 12 scond delay excuse shows that this problem has been studied to death and the former TTC chair Mihevic was more interested in the St. Clair Right of Way debacle and the 12 second delay would be offset by the riders on St. Clair getting a 3 minute reduction.
Bureaucratic fear
Re “TTC stalls bus stop for Variety Village,” (Mike Stobel, Dec. 16): The TTC’s actions on this issue are reprehensible. A 12-second delay is nothing, and given the reason, there would be no complaints. The TTC has lost its perspective in bureaucracy and is using expedience and expense to delay, assuming the issue is a flash in a pan that will disappear. Well, it won’t go away. Where is the strong TTC administrator prepared to do what is right — to stand up and take action by putting in a temporary bus stop at the front door of Variety Village now and debate a permanent stop at a later time. Of course, bureaucratic fear prevents immediate action. The TTC continues to hit those who are emotionally and physically challenged. Somebody needs to put on a heavy pair of boots and start kicking butt at the TTC.
Stewart Glassford Newmarket
(Why make any stops at all? That would eliminate all delays)
Shocking arrogance
Re “A kick in the teeth” (Dec. 16): Way to go Mike Strobel, for an excellent column about the Variety Village bus stop madness. The sheer arrogance and lack of compassion shown by TTC brass is shocking, yet not completely unexpected. Perhaps the much-needed stop would have been implemented promptly if someone in TTC administration had a disabled child.
Mark Chisholm Aurora
(Doubt it. Strobel rightly describes them as “heartless”)
Twelve seconds?
So, no bus stop at Variety Village because it would add 12 seconds to the trip (“A kick in the teeth” Mike Strobel, Dec. 16). I wonder how long it takes to install and remove a bike from the bike racks on the front of the bus, that is if anybody ever uses those things? I guess the TTC is only “essential” to some.

Next on Michael Layton’s agenda: Restore Pluto’s honour, condemn bubonic plague
Rookie Toronto councillor Mike Layton, son of federal NDP leader Jack Layton and stepson of NDP MP Olivia Chow, objects to a recent Macleans article that asked if Canadian universities are “too Asian.” Mr. Layton put a motion before council calling on Macleans to apologize because the article was “offensive to me personally.” The National Post was able to obtain Mr. Layton’s secret list other personal annoyances he feels it is the city’s duty to address (at someone else’s expense — these are the Laytons remember).
The Phil Kessel Trade: Phil has been a disappointment. He’s been here what, a whole year? — and no cup yet. And he’s, like, a minus nine. This team needs to rebuild from the ground up, and you can’t do that without draft picks. That’s why I’m proposing Toronto City Council form the Stanley Cup Victory Advisory Group, which will bring together government bureaucrats and amateur hockey fans on council, under my leadership, to review any/all Leaf trades and acquisitions.
