We got Repulican types in the Conservative Gov’t who are enacting Austerity Cutbacks to the Cities. So you won’t see a National Transit Strategy OR a National Housing Strategy because they are mean spirited…

What is sorely lacking is a municipal political vision that says, “Hey Provincial and Federal government you think you can keep downloading cuts and privatizing our services whenever you feel like it? Well you can’t. We are two and a half million people. We contribute billions in taxes to the province and the country. Now you will go to bed or we will put you to bed.”

One key difference between the US and Canada is that while 60% of Americans live outside the major cities, the opposite is true in Canada. That is why the Tea Party movement can never truly take hold in Canada, and the Tories can only get a majority by having a fragmented opposition.

Isn’t odd that the QEW (from the 427 to the Humber River) was downloaded to the City of Toronto by the PCs, but the 403 (entirely within the City of Mississauga from the QEW to the 401) was kept in provincial hands.
