  1. @Brent: Regarding that article, I say let them keep taking the bus. That’s a part of the city that voted heavily for Rob Ford, so it’s actually quite satisfying to me that they’ll be stuck with crappy bus service for years to come. They’re getting exactly what they voted for…

  2. @Leo Gonzalez: Certainly the entirety of “that part of the city” didn’t vote for Rob Ford.  Certainly, the many citizens who live there and rely on services but aren’t legally able to vote didn’t vote for Rob Ford.  Certainly, in my very suburban ward where 55% of voters did vote for Rob Ford, 45% did not. Please don’t generalize everyone in this part of the city, its already hard enough to manage the resentment out ‘here’ for the lack of attention it seems this part of the city gets relative to that part of the city.
