Doug Ford may not be consistent, but at least Sue-Ann Levy is. I don’t always agree with her, but she’s consistently critical of what she perceives as waste, no matter who’s conducting the gravy train.
I don’t like to judge politicians too quickly… but given Doug Ford’s recent comments on the police paid duty issue, I’d say he’s either a hypocrite or an idiot … or both. I’d also add that this issue, more than anything else that has happened since the election, will come back to bite the Mayor big time.
There is one way and only one way to fight high gas prices. Stop buying the stuff. Walk, take transit, ride a bicycle. Trade the monster size truck for a scooter. As long as people are willing to spend more and more on gas, the price will keep going up.
