  1. Re: Councillors see Ford’s hand in plan to cut library board

    I guess Royson James will now write that Ford always had an “overwhelming mandate” to cut the TPL board, and slam pinko councillors who suggest otherwise.

    Man, he has been writing terrible columns lately. How much lower must James sink before the Fords resume returning the Star’s phone calls?
