Voters who live in Toronto have endured two particularly awful election campaigns in the past year.
The federal vote called by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for last September was a pointless affair in which the leaders of the three major parties alternated between trashing one another and hurling promises at every interest group and voting bloc in sight. It cost $600-million and ended with the three holding almost the same number of seats as they had before it all started.
Boring like a slow motion train wreck. Tory will win, that’s a given. More tax dollars will be wasted on identity-politics driven issues as bit by bit we become indistinguishable from a Democrat run city in the US. Services will decline as taxes rise, crime will increase, businesses will leave and those residents that can will flee as the city becomes an unaffordable, perverse amalgam of the rich and social housing residents.
