Premier Doug Ford has won, Toronto now will have only 25 councilors.
Now, how do we get Andrea Horwath to shut up?

HAH!! With a shrill like Horwath,that'll never happen. I'm sure glad the Court of Appeal stayed the decision and it's for damn sure the lefties won't get it to the SCOC. No way in hell The SC will rule against a charter bulwark "Notwithstanding" clause like that without creating a genuine constitutional crisis that could completely shatter the government charter.

This is just a guess,but,he may be "retiring" very soon to some law firm's corner office.

How does the rest of Ontario feel, about the personal vendetta that ford is on, against members of Toronto city council ? Should the provincial government not be worrying about things important to the entire province? As a taxpayer in Ontario, who does not vote in Toronto, I am a concerned about the amount of time spent on such frivolous matters. As I have heard on this site many times, from many voices, to much, time and effort is spent on Toronto and its concerns. NOW this is okay? Comments?

I don’t think you can call the savings of 26 million taxpayer dollars....frivolous!

Are YOU saving any money in Chatham because the Provincial government is spending 3 weeks on the cost of council in Toronto? Do not the voters/citizens, of Toronto pay for their own city council? What business is it of the people of Chatham how many councillors in Toronto? Does Toronto need to worry about how many , Chatham, Ottawa, et al. have?

More provincial tax money flows IN to the City of Toronto than flows OUT. I can't wait for the next shoe to drop when the OMB forces Toronto to raise their mil rate to match the rest of the province. If you think all the whinin' and cryin' was bad now,we ain't seen nothin' yet.
