Shark fins? Elephants? Doesn’t council have better things to do, like, I don’t know, bringing back LRT lines and bike lanes? Way to waste the anti-Ford momentum.
Wow, I am surprised the National Post published such a rational critique of Rob Ford, even taking a few good swipes at the Sun while they were at it. Granted it was written by John Moore, who is arguably the most left leaning host on CFRB, but still.
The Sun article won’t load for me right now, so I can’t comment on it.
