    Toronto the city that only acts quick if a bylaw is infracted. Even boutique coffee shops are not safe.

    Toronto the city where nothing new or “out of the box” get implemented without years of studies and consultation’s.

      Except if you want bike lanes removed, that goes ahead too fast

        That was the province not the city

        Ford is called Premier of Toronto, he also took money away from Northern Ontario roads to expand the 401 into Toronto

      It’s because 1 is city staff 2 is elected officials and Ford merged districts to make it harder to pass things (a no vote is worth more)

    It’s galling to me that the city has demanded that HE remove the shelters. Those don’t even belong to him. They are someone else’s home. Someone else’s property. Removing them would expose him to civil liability, not to mention responsibility for the harm that comes to the residents. If the city wants them removed, they have shown they no problem contracting bulldozers to take care of the problem.

    The city counselor would like people to “work with them rather than work around them.” We’d fucking LIKE to. How about the city work WITH US instead of AGAINST US. A city that bulldozes people’s fucking homes does not get to pull this card.
