Doug Ford may finally get to be Toronto’s “mayor” after all.
When investigators found “mismanagement” at four Ontario school boards, the premier’s education minister, Paul Calandra, did the courageous thing and stood up for students and parents. A bunch of us applauded the appointment of new, all-powerful “supervisors,” the gates of hell didn’t open and voters promptly returned to enjoying the warm summer breezes.
Given Toronto’s turbo-charged housing crisis, how much more rope will Ford give city council before appointing his own team of pilots to help pull Canada’s largest city out of its current nosedive? It’s goofy to build $100 billion in transit infrastructure if developers can’t launch new projects to take advantage of this generational investment.
