It is amazing to find out that the sky is falling at the TTC when 150 of 10,000 are being contracted out. Toronto’s left is living in the lala land of perpetual entitlement as the Province experiences the worst fiscal crisis in generations and the public is fed up with the public servants demanding the status quo. Kinnear and his Council supporters are blowing their political credibility and feeding the Ford machine by creating a mountain out of a mole hill.
