John Cartwright, president of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council, told the executive council that, rather than a budget-cutting exercise, they are part of a mission to dramatically shrink city government, reduce its workforce and contract out as many services as possible.Typical cowardly dissembling. Harris had a lot to do with the mess we're in now. And Torontonians and Etobicokans should be made to understand that Ford is lying so blatantly because he's trying to hide the fact that he's finishing Harris's work. Harris downloaded services and slashed funding to the municipalities, and then he amalgamated communities to deprive them of the political ability to effectively resist the subsequent need to slash and burn to survive the new reality. Now, fat-head, lying, stupid, pampered son of privilege, Rob Ford charges onto the scene, elected on false premises, elected on complete lies, bullshitting his way to cuts, cuts, cuts, aided and abetted by whining stupid fucks who refuse to admit they were sold a bill of goods that only completely ignorant, deluded people could have fallen for.
"We are being made captive of a Tea Party mentality that is destroying the economy," Cartwright said, referencing Wal-Mart and other employers he said are trying to drive down workers' wages.
"Poverty jobs should not be the goal of the City of Toronto."
He said the current councillors didn't campaign on making layoffs. Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti countered that union jobs were in fact an issue in the election, that on voters' doorsteps he constantly heard about unionized city jobs and the 2009 civic workers' strike that saw garbage piled up in parks.
In response to a question about the wages paid to staff who clean police stations, Cartwright said light duty cleaners earn about $20 an hour and heavy duty cleaners make about $22.
He said the labour council helped convince the provincial government to raise Ontario's minimum wage to $10.25 an hour, but doesn't think it would be right for workers cleaning City of Toronto facilities to make that "poverty wage."
He was one of several deputants who have blamed former Ontario premier Mike Harris for downloading responsibilities onto municipalities and helping put Toronto in an annual deficit position.
"We've seen this movie before. It was called the Common Sense Revolution and it didn't end well," said Cartwright, whose council represents 190,000 unionized workers in Toronto.
Mayor Ford, who has refrained from putting questions to any deputants and has made few comments as he chairs the meeting, reacted to the Harris government comparisons.
"I'm surprised they're not blaming Diefenbaker, never mind Harris," Ford said.
His late father, Douglas Ford Sr., was a backbench Conservative MPP when Harris was the Conservative premier.
Oh yeah, and put The Toronto Sun among the whining, lazy, cowardly, lying groups of fucks who brought all this upon us and who refuse to come clean about what they're doing and refuse to accept responsibility for the sufferings and misery they've caused.

Yes, let's cut the hourly wage of the janitorial staff to the bare minimum. It's not like doing that will destroy any sense of loyalty they have to their employer. And it's not like they have keys and access to every single room in the building, said rooms containing all sorts of interesting & confidential documents. What's the worst that could happen?
Good point. T'would be pretty sweet.
Maybe you would like to wipe the shit off the walls and deal with bed bugs and vomit and scabies and make minimum wage you jackass !
Dumb kids talking without a brain as usual.
Maybe you should get a job and see what work is all about before you talk shit about who is worth what.
Other Anonymous,
Who are you talking to? Me, anonymous 1, or Rob Ford?
Anonymous 1 was saying that IF Rob Ford reduces the police cleaning staff to minimum wage that people will be tempted to fuck shit up because their jobs aren't going to be important to them.
I was saying that if things blew up in Ford's face like that, it would be pretty sweet revenge.
I hope that clears things up.
un-fuck you indeed.
