For kicks, read James’ article and then Sue-Ann’s as a rebuttal. It comes off as a nonsensical rant, even for her!
And here’s Marcus Gee in the Globe (“Turns out it’s not all gravy”).
“Lefties will melt”
I can’t believe that one is in with the serious articles. She is writing opinion pieces (and some of the most opinionated opinion pieces I have ever seen in a relatively mainstream publication) and passing it off as reporting.
Sue-Ann is a nut… but I also don’t see any justification for why the City should be clearing out people’s driveways after snow plows pass by.
