Well, it didn't take Jolly ole Mayor Ford to put it to the people. Even before all the holiday bills arrived, he's sticking it to the actual people who put him in the Big chair by announcing a possible (sure - possible) 10 cent rate increase for the TTC. Yes, he eliminated the $60 tax for licence's but wouldn't you know it, he's attempting to recoup some of it immediately by increasing the fare for those (in most cases) who don't own cars and were not affected by the $60 in the first place - Thanks Rob!
Tell us Rob, how many times did you read that speech in front of your Media consultant guru's before you spoke the words to us yesterday? if I were you, I'd fire them. Just because you say the words slowly does not mean we will feel your pain. "I did not want to agree with this - I am not happy." Well Mayor, DON"T do it. We the people have had to pay more money for a terrible service for far too long. Fix the TTC, get rid of the redundancies, wake-up the sleeping attendants, watch and make sure people actually pay and then maybe we will accept and increase for a service which works. I am sorry Mr. Mayor, just because you want to "burn" 150+ million for your subways, does not mean we should have to pay for your so-called vision.

A month into your term and visions of a new Mayor are dancing in our heads.
