So who exactly is the hypocrite here?

September 2018 To all those who think Premier Doug Ford is a dictator and a hypocrite for “forcing his personal will” in cutting Toronto council “simply because he was elected”:  did you object to Premier Dalton McGuinty forcing wind turbines and solar farms on unwilling rural municipalities?  How about when he forced the health tax …

Politics as usual in Toronto

September 2018 Although I’m in favour of cutting Toronto City Council from 47 members to 25, I must congratulate the mayor and councilors for winning their court challenge.  You all worked very quickly, very efficiently and very hard to present your case to the court and you prevailed, regardless of Premier Ford’s invocation of the …
