This is the best and most comprehensive analysis of how we the people of Toronto found ourselves in this mess we call Rob Ford. Its also worrisome than 40% of our residents still believe that taxes are some sort of evil poison that is preventing us from advancing as individuals and as a city. This vast chunk of our electorate doesnt see the harm that the Common Sense Revolution and its continued popularity has brought to this province, this city and to the same individuals who stubbornly hold on to their belief in lower taxes and smaller government while at the same time being adversely affected by it. Not sure when we will wake up but my hope is that October 27th will be that day. When Toronto’s antiquated power and drainage systems were overwhelmed by a powerful summer storm in 2013, leaving public transit stilled, commuters stranded, streets and roadways flooded, and nearly half a million without power, Margaret Wente complained that “it’s begun to feel too uncomfortably Third Worldish here in Canada.” She forgot to remind readers that it’s precisely the anti-government mantra she constantly relays that got the city into this mess. Ford is living proof that Canada’s Conservatives are happy to play with right-wing populist fire.
