  1. Why is Sue-Ann Levy always so angry?
    I wonder what the Toronto Sun Christmas parties are like?

  2. Why is it that the media coverage of the TCHC issue is focussed on ideology and sensationalism!!

    Why is it that the usual process for addressing an AG report is not being followed? Why is it that the mayor and his supporters want to bring motions forward about the findings of a report before that report is even before City Council?

    Why is it that the mayor does not appear to have any “respect for taxpayers”?
