Anyone who thinks this is anything but petty political retribution is fooling themselves. If it was just about having an appropriately sized municipal government to "reduce waste" it would have been a measure that applied to Ontario municipalities generally, not just singling out Toronto.
And the idea that it's the left that's terrified of change when the right has built its entire brand on being reactionary, terrified of change conservatives (conserve meaning keep things as they are) is ridiculous. The problem is that if there's any positive change to be had, it certainly isn't coming from a moron like Ford.
Although i admit, he was always the brighter of the brothers.
But on the bright side, al least I understand a bit better how these types get votes. People just believe whatever they say. Doesn't have to be true or to even make any sense. If they say something like, "This ridiculous clusterfuck idea is necessary to save money! Stop the gravy train!!" people will just believe it.
