We think tehey are supposed to do something for us...when we will naturally want the best for our friends and family. They should just worry about paying the bills so all people can have a comfortable life for their friends and family.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-75194898514387347172010-02-02T19:01:33.364-05:002010-02-02T19:01:33.364-05:00Being a cynical old fart...

It's not like just the people in "North York" are being mind controlled. The people who live in "old Toronto" are influenced by their street designs every bit as much as those in the amalgamated city. Amalgamation was on paper only and satisfied the powermad Mel Lastman ...no one else. Many of us tried very hard to reject the amalgamation...predicting the very split concerning finances and distribution that existed among the self interested neighbourhoods as not being resolved by a "megacity". My point was that voting is only valuable if citizens vote for the common good rather than self interest.<br /><br />Meanwhile...nature will take care of the situation as economic forces unconsciously move the swarms around. Natural selection isn't a conscious decision. Most of the ways we live has nothing to do with our so-called free wills...we are the subjects of what will give us the most life for our buck.<br /><br />I don't see any good candidates right now. But, I would look for a candidate whose priority was on seeing beyond old programs and whose vision included high speed trains and new subway lines and lots of public transit. <br /><br />Mayors should organize paying the bills. We don't need them to tell us how to live or how to move or to label our neighbourhoods as "megacity". Mayors should make sure there is lots of money being spent on public transit and options for low cost housing. Otherwise they are basically useless.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-70256416624480086142010-02-01T22:12:45.412-05:002010-02-01T22:12:45.412-05:00It's true. When I moved from Toronto proper to...It's true. When I moved from Toronto proper to the "former Etobicoke" I lost the ability to speak English and to think freely. I succumbed completely to mind control. Even as I struggle for freedom of thought, I can't evade the powerful mind-control drugs released into the water at the innocent looking water filtration plant three blocks over. <br /><br />Even so, I agree that the way we have Toronto and the "GTA" organized politically doesn't work very well at all. Amalgamation might well have been a good chunk of the problem. The fact that most of our Councillors are actually Zombies is notwithstanding. Not even candidates who claim to be "ready" like the boss of the TTC can save us. What will we do?<br /><br />The first thing I hope for is for more sitting councillors to run for Mayor. That way we'll have more room for some fresh blood on City Council, and I think that would be healthy for the City. <br /><br />Next we need some candidates for Mayor. Do we have any yet? I recall a quote from the late Utah Phillips, that went something like, "If God had wanted us to vote, she would have given us candidates".<br /><br />But vote I will. I'm determined to participate. If I concentrate on my big toe intently enough, I may be able to combat the mind control...but who will I vote for?

Some of the assholes say in Toronto have a fetish and it's called "world class"...like little dick syndrome or something. Big dicks run Toronto including the tiny bit of auto industry. <br /><br />In the last 15 years I think there was only one auto company opened in Canada (for Honda). The auto industry in Canada has been tied to U.S. since the 60's. The mindset is very similar between the two countries. I can't remember the exact percentage but somethng like %10 of jobs in Canada are related to the auto industry which is mainly located in Ontario. Car sales jumped up last year making it a record year in sales. Apparently 2010 is expected to beat that almost record year.<br /><br />So...yes, there is a strong auto lobby in Canada especially in Ontario. There is also major problems because the U.S. held companies pay good union wages but companies like Honda do not pay their employees as well. This means the unions are slowly losing their stance and are underminded by jerks like our Prime Minister and the Ontario Liberal leader. These creeps put all kinds of pressure and turn down restructuring plans in order to overthrow the unions.<br /><br />So the auto business is so messed up and people supporting it just add to the lack of restructuring. I guess the rise in car sales last year at least helps the government since they bailed out Canada auto plants last year just like U.S. did...ergh!!!!Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-10811896233087610432010-02-01T12:30:02.645-05:002010-02-01T12:30:02.645-05:00is there a strong auto lobby there?is there a strong auto lobby there?piscadoro king fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478565991158410614noreply@blogger.com
