THE WORK OF THE MAYOR

Re “Chow’s hard-left politics could cost city thousands of jobs” (Brian Lilley, June 4): Could John Tory be the ‘comeback kid’? We better hope so because this city cannot survive a second term of the most incompetent mayor in recent memory! Imagine a mayor risking thousands of jobs because of an ideology — if you don’t support one of Chow’s special interest groups, she’ll put the kibosh to your company. She also has the gall to instruct her followers to buy Canadian and shop local, but at the same time the city purchased two new ferries for $92 million, not from a Canadian ship builder, but went all the way to Romania to buy them. Under Chow’s regime, should we assume the motto out of City Hall is now: Do as we say, not as we do? And if you happen to be one of Chow’s special interest groups under the threat of losing a sponsor, don’t worry, it appears the mayor will come to your rescue with taxpayer dollars to replace any monies loss to corporate sponsorship pullouts.

(John Tory is undoubtedly running for mayor again – and let’s not forget he was the reason we got stuck with Chow)

FUNDING PRIORITIES

Olivia Chow is so out of touch with residents of Toronto — all she does is to pander to a few! While the Pride Parade is an important event in Toronto, with less sponsorship and funding this year, the parade should be dialled back accordingly. Most taxpayers in Toronto can think of many other uses for this hundreds of thousands of dollars.

(She is perhaps the worst mayor Toronto has ever had)

NEW PUCKS

I’m a big Leaf fan and have been for a long time. I would like to send a message to management: Please don’t break up the current team, they’re good enough to win. Just order some new pucks. The old ones weren’t bouncing the right way.
