Another municipal election in Toronto has come and gone. What's changed? Basically nothing. Toronto will continue to be governed by the same cabal that have been dragging the city on the road to ruin for decades. The only difference is that there will be less of them after our illustrious premier, Doug Ford, decided to downsize the city council. In fact, there were only three wards out of a total of 25 in which voters chose candidates that weren't running for re-election. Actually, only two of these wards, Beaches-East York and Scarborough-Rouge River, will be represented by people who can truthfully say that they are new to politics. The third ward, Eglinton-Lawrence will be represented by Mike Colle, who lost his seat in the provincial legislature earlier this year, but couldn't bring it upon himself to give up the politicians' pig trough.
People in Toronto complain left, right and centre about things in this city that don't work. Bad roads, bad transit, bad municipal services and so forth. Yet, when we have the opportunity to make changes. we flock like sheep to the same idiots who have been screwing up this city. Then again, I can't say this about all Toronto voters, particularly the ones who failed to show up to the polling station, which was roughly 60% of the electorate. Well Torontonians, the next time you complain about something in this city that doesn't work, just remember how you voted yesterday, or how you didn't vote.
