Is there any major construction by the city that was not dysfunctional, having one or more lawsuits and severely over budget?

Anyone out there get a 6.7% wage increase this year to keep up with the insane tax increases every year? Yeah, I didn't either.

Sorry, don't be putting your job 'on hold' as a backup in case you don't win an election - quit your job. How is this even allowed? We need councilors present to deal with the city issues, not distracted by other things.

He does realize that. He just doesn't care and is riding the gravy train as long as he can.

Giving them a tax break essentially means taxpayers have to pay for infrastructure so they can make their massive profits. No thanks I have enough paying for my own things instead of subsidizing developers.

Doug Ford is busy directing more money to his developer and police buddies.

Great, just when there's been so many cyclists injured from distracted drivers not paying attention, or driving drunk in this city this year.

He could start by voting down the proposed police budget increase on the police services board, and also canceling the unnecessary Operations center.

I can't believe people are still racing horses just for sport and entertainment today.

Would be much better to address root causes of accidents such as poor driving, blatant breaking laws by running reds, pedestrians not paying attention, inattentive driving and poor road design then just giving up, assuming everyone's going to just get in accidents and minimizing damage by continually lowering the speed limits and assuming everyone will obey them.

I'm all for greenery but this is ridiculous overreach. Arborists are very expensive enough as it is, now adding permits and lpaying for replanting trees on top of that? Gimme a break.

City councilors need to touch grass and live in reality at some point instead of their idealistic world.

City should just sell it - it's just a money pit and not exactly stunning example of architecture or historical importance for that matter.

All the university wants is the money... beyond that it's obvious they don't care and have no planning.

My guess is a Canada Goose that there's too many of now, are a huge nuisance, and shouldn't be protected any more. They probably know that and don't want to mention it.

As usual the city is exempt from their own bylaws, it's for other people.

I see what they did here. Every year past they start with very high budget then end at a high budget. This year they start with a reasonable budget and end at a high budget to make them look like they are trying to be reaonable but they still aren't.Every year the taxes take more and more percentage of my take home pay.

So, basically using my high taxes to pay for other people's housing.. Got it, great plan.

My yearly raise won't be anything close to 6%.
