During the interview, which was recorded in the morning or early afternoon, he [Ford] was asked by Cybulski to identify the best suggestion he had heard during the meeting. He responded: “Actually, I haven’t heard anyone wanting to reduce. They just want to keep everything. So I don’t think people understand that if we don’t do anything with the $775 million (budget shortfall), you’re going to be looking at thousands of dollars of property tax increases.”
He added: “I haven’t heard any good suggestions on saving money. I’ve just heard ‘don’t cut this and don’t cut that.’”
That's right you stupid, rancid slab of pork. Do you know why? Because you blurted out over and over and over again that the problem at City Hall was a massive gravy train that wasted (presumably) HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. YOU, and nobody forced you to say this, that you could cut taxes, freeze property taxes, and that there would be NO CUTS, GUARANTEED.
Ford is either a shameless liar or he's dismally stupid. More and more I'm leaning to the former option (obviously).
This is a goddamned farce. The Chretien-Martin comedy duo cut taxes for the wealthy and downloaded spending obligations to the provinces. In Ontario, the shitty diaper-brained Mike Harris downloaded spending obligations to the municipalities and cut taxes for the wealthy.
We need to RAISE TAXES on the wealthy. (For their own sakes, as well as ours, because awash with cash in a stagnant economy, they end up "investing" in fraudulent, speculative, pieces of nonsense which inevitably explode with a stench.) We should RAISE TAXES and SPEND ON PUBLIC SERVICES.
The reason why we don't is because the short-sighted elites saw that the welfare state made frightened, isolated workers into confident, empowered citizens. They don't want to go down that road again, ... but WE DO.
Ford is an errand boy. The least talented member of a wealthy family, he was sent into municipal politics, where his aw-shucks, regular guy shtick resonated with simplistic, ignorant people, and allowed him (campaigning against the sleazy Liberal alternative George Smitherman) to become mayor of Toronto and finish the wrecking job started by Mike Harris.
He's a complete fucking liar who doesn't deserve to be listened to. Every word out of his stupid mouth is either a lie or a brain-fart. He is beneath our respect.

Shameless liar or dismally stupid . . .
Why can't he be both?
:)
By "dismally stupid" I meant so dismally stupid as to actually believe in his statements.
It's pretty clear that he's a dim-bulb, regardless of how shameless a liar he might be.
When I googled "Rob Ford is a lying sack of shit" this was one of the few pages that came up.
I'm sure the list of results will lengthen over time.
Ha! Nice. Thanks for the info!
