Re: Transit City, why can’t people like Selley actually check into Ford’s claims, like Steve Munro did? If for every one of his outlandish claims that we’re published, it was immediately rebuffed, we wouldn’t be up this creek.
It really bothers me that cyclists, lawyers, artists, transit users, downtowners,and anyone with a masters’ degree is being labelled a “pinko”.
Here in the UK, we have a portly disheveled conservative mayor…who’s also well spoken, inclusive, and progressive. Try telling an urban, besuited, Barclay-bike peddling banker that he’s really just a “pinko”…
John Moore: Don Cherry’s ‘swaggering performance by a classic bully’

Kind of sad when even the National Post is calling you out for making an ass out of yourself while pushing your conservative views. Granted, John Moore is probably the most center/left writer there, but still!
