SUE-ANN LEVY City Hall's broken, voters want it fixed
James: What happens now? Four turbulent years
I'm sorry, four perspectives; The Sun, The Star, The Globe and The Old Fart...
...and everyone is going to be watching Ford through a microscope, as they should be doing, and it will be interesting to see:

As I recall, 2005 wasn’t such a bad year...
There will be a federal election in 2010 and a provincial in 2011. The Ontario Liberals won’t want to inflict collateral damage on their federal buddies and certainly not on themselves.
They’ll keep making scary noises until March. We’ll tremble and worry. They’ll table a budget with a couple of fishhooks. But after five months of the ..

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.
