  1. Papers! quit giving Ford the headlines…this guys needs to be muzzled and stick to what he knows best stickers and billboards. Him and brother have no other interest then undoing what Miller and this city did before them. A monorail? for real….this man is unfit to making decisions.

    If there are any Councillors out there reading this..Please support Waterfront Toronto. the results speak for themselves, there hasn’t been this much progress in the port lands since they were build.
