David Miller Continues to Destroy Toronto....




















In my last post about David Miller.... I was suspect to just what he was doing to improve Toronto. These two remind me of Statler and Waldorf from the muppet show...

See here... http://andrew-wright.blogspot.com/2007/05/david-miller-and-taxing-toronto.htmlogspot.com/2007/05/david-miller-and-taxing-toronto.html

However now I am livid! They want to shut down the Sheppard TTC subway line.....
So the city needs money because they apparently don't have any....how can this be so??? We must be one of the most taxed cities in Canada. Now what really irritates me, is that because they don't have the support to implement new taxes on real estate, Liquor, parking, and whatever else.

I had to email the city- to let them know what a garbage job I think they are doing. Every city needs money, but Toronto practically begs for it and the ads for 1 cent are embarrassing. I thought we were a world class city, apparently not!

I find out on the news tonight they want to cut the subway line across Sheppard Ave, that cost BILLIONS of dollars to construct a few years ago AND they plan on cutting some programs that the city provides as well. Now call me stupid but if they had saved the money in the first place they wouldn't be whining now, would they?http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070719/ttc_cuts_071907/20070719?hub=TopStories

This is more like a "screw you" tactic for not getting their way with tax increases. But if you keep squeezing people, they will eventually scream. ARRGGHHH!!! And while some may say "
but you could have voted for someone else"... that is true but the other candidates weren't even worth my consideration.

I'm really angered that the city can't get its act together with something so simple. Don't hesitate to send an email to the city to let them know what a joke they are becoming!!! No wonder we didn't get the olympics- good grief! mailto:mayor_miller@toronto.ca

Live Earth and Al Gore...


Not sure if anyone tuned into Live Earth over the weekend.... I thought it was an incredible event. I found myself watching it all day. I have to say, I haven't seen an event like this since the big concert in the 80's/90's (I don't remember cause I was so young) for Ethiopia....

It is funny that it is always a matter of reaction then prevention that these things occur.

I'm kind of glad Al Gore lost in 2000 now (um well sort of), he obviously was meant to do bigger things.... one of the more modest people I have seen.

Anyways the event is on msn and it is posted by concert/artist....if you missed it here is the link to the videos
