Based on the speech<\/a> by character Mark Antony in “Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare.<\/em><\/p>\n

Friends, Torontonians, 905ers, lend me your cars;
\nI come to bury the Gardiner, not to praise it;
\nThe traffic that men cause lives after them,
\nThe smog is oft interred with their bones,
\nSo let it be with the Gardiner \u2026 The noble Tory
\nHath told you, Gardiner was congested:
\nIf it were so, it was a grievous fault,
\nAnd grievously hath Gardiner answered it \u2026
\nHere, under leave of Tory and the rest,
\n(For Tory is an honourable man;
\nSo are they all; all honourable men and women)
\nCome I to speak at Gardiner\u2019s funeral \u2026
\nIt was my road, faithful and fast, for me:
\nBut Tory says it was congested;
\nAnd Tory is an honourable man\u2026.
\nIt hath brought many suburbanites from home to work,
\nWhose salaries did the general coffers fill:
\nDid this in Gardiner seem ambitious?
\nYet when the commuters did commute, Gardiner hath crumbled:
\nHighways should be made of sterner stuff:
\nYet Tory says it was congested;
\nAnd Tory is an honourable man.
\nYou all did see that on the DVP
\nI thrice presented him a special HOV lane,
\nWhich it did thrice refuse: was this congestion?
\nYet Tory says it was congested;
\nAnd, sure, he is an honourable man.
\nI speak not to disprove what Tory spoke,
\nBut here I am to speak what I do know.
\nYou all did drive it once, not without cause:
\nWhat cause withholds you then to mourn for it?
\nO judgement! thou art fled to leftist beasts,
\nAnd men have lost their reason\u2026. Bear with me;
\nMy heart is on the boulevard instead of the Gardiner,
\nAnd I must pause till it come back to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
