Hi Brian (Mr. Ashton), Re: your Toronto Sun, Sunday, December 5th 2010 article, "There's a new captain on the bridge of the SS Toronto", p. 5 My immediate response is: SO WHAT? "Out with the old, in with the new! There's a new sheriff in town." SO WHAT? Under Mayor Ford Torontonians STILL won't know what goes on - "behind closed doors" - at City Hall. They woN'T know WHO are making the financial decisions, WHO is benefiting from them, WHO they're all associated with, and WHAT the details are. Without that information WHAT KIND of Government have we? A BOGUS one. However, with the É(eh)PC Torontonians will know ALL that. This is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT when the City decides to PRIVATIZE and to CONTRACT OUT which - apparently - Mayor Ford has indicated he's willing to do. SADLY, municipal bureaucrats are renown across Canada for keeping City councilors busy discussing incidentals while having THE BIG ITEMS go through AT THE LAST MINUTE with LITTLE or no DISCUSSION - whatsoever. Speaking about BOGUS Government, WHAT HAPPENED to the QUARTERLY REPORTS on STIMULUS SPENDING by the Harper Government? We were supposed to get FOUR (4) last year and FOUR (4) this year: EIGHT (8) so far. HOW MANY have we gotten - so far? A couple? PLUS, we doN'T know WHO's benefiting from THE STIMULUS SPENDING? Bay Street ORGANIZED CRIME - as usual? I guess the Canadian taxpayers are NOT supposed to know. Otherwise, they'd be SHOCKED and ANGRY to learn they're BEING TAKEN for a ride - AGAIN! Getting back to THE NEW MAYOR, HMMM, let's see ... he wants A TAX-FREEZE. That woN'T MEAN MUCH to Torontonians if taxes are JACKED - way - UP - later, now, will it? He supposedly plans to REDUCE the $9.2 BILLION budget by 1/3 over FOUR (4) years. HOW? Selling VALUABLE ASSETS to the Yankees - DIRT CHEAP? He's going to CHOP the onerous Land Transfer Tax? He promises to get rid of the Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) because Torontonians are NOT HAPPY over that. Here's THE DEAL - though. The VRT gets THE KNIFE because the City bureaucrats have to give Torontonians SOMETHING GIVEN THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS the media guys went out of their way to create with this NEW Mayor. (WHO says Canadian media guys are A BUNCH OF CYNICS?) But it's - probably - only A QUESTION OF TIME before the City bureaucrats start STICKING THE KNIFE into the backs of Torontonians once it's back to being BUSINESS AS USUAL. THE STAGE IS SET for a COMEDY, but will the taxpayers of Toronto get a TRAGEDY thanks to ANOTHER SPENDTHRIFT City Council? TIME will tell. However, WHAT are THE ODDS that Torontonians doN'T get SCREWED - like in the past. NOT likely. Why? Three (3) reasons. 1. It's THE SAME BUREAUCRATS behind the scenes that PULL THE STRINGS at City Hall: essentially, it's *THEIR* GAME. 2. THEIR GAME seems to have ALWAYS been to RAISE expectations of a NEW City Council really HIGH, then FRUSTRATE THEM - really GOOD! It seems to be an INHERENT DYNAMIC of Police State FASCISM meant to make the People feel POWERLESS! Here's the recipe: promise A LOT; deliver LITTLE in order to keep the People *PERPETUALLY* FRUSTRATED and feeling HELPLESS so the FASCIST Police State Government can continue its SELF-SERVING ways of EXPLOITING the People. 3. We have to get rid of THE CROOKS at City Hall and that's NOT going to happen - YET. SO! It seems to be MORE OF THE SAME: HIGHER TAXES with NOT very MUCH in return with Torontonians - FOREVER - PISSED OFF! The GOOD NEWS is the É(eh)PC believes it can GET RID OF THE CROOKS in Government through GOOD DESIGN. http://eh-ok.ca/egalite.htm#transparency The É(eh)PC promises Government BY and FOR the People so the Government serves you - 100% - instead of THE RICH. RIGHT NOW we are LOOKING AT THE IMPOVERISHMENT of THE MAJORITY of Canadians while our FASCIST Police State bureaucrats want to **OVEREXTEND** Canada's Police and Security Apparatus. Canada is FAST! becoming A LAND FOR THE RICH as immigration is ALREADY SKEWED to favour those with A LOT OF $$$. Here's THE PROBLEM - though- is THE BRUNT of taxation in Canada is being borne by THE NON-RICH! Is THIS FAIR to THE MAJORITY of Canadian families? Most definitely NOT! Canadians doN'T want a BI-POLAR SOCIETY with A MINORITY OF RICH at one end and a MAJORITY OF THE POOR at the other end like in the USA and Latin America. Why? Because it's NOT VIABLE in the long run because THE GROWING INEQUALITY can generate A LOT OF SOCIAL UNREST to the point of causing DOMESTIC TERRORISM. And because Canadians instinctively know that A HEALTHY SOCIETY is one that believes in FAIRNESS and SOCIAL JUSTICE in A REAL DEMOCRACY. And that is what the É(eh)PC is about. REAL DEMOCRACY that serves everyone. http://eh-ok.ca/egalite.htm#real_democracy THANKS for your article: it got me thinking. <grin> Regards, Kenneth Selin (say'leen) ~~~ B.A.(Psychology), B.A.(Spanish), B.Admin., B.Comm.(Honours), B.A.(Italian) "magna cum laude" ~~~ President, Party Leader of the É(eh)PC ~~~ Count on the É(eh)PC 4YOUR! SHARE of the wealth 4CLEAN! Gov't WORKING 100% - for YOU! http://www.eh-ok.ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S. After a talk with a Toronto Eaton Centre SECURITY GUARD at my table in the food court, I find out that I'm NOT allowed to have another Ferrero Rocher chocolate when I later went back in the line for another one. I'm NOW TOLD I can have ONLY ONE A DAY though LAST WEEKEND I was able to have a few in one day which I enjoyed with my coffee. Besides, there is NO SIGN saying customers are limited to one chocolate a day.Did the Toronto Eaton Centre SECURITY GUARDS have any- thing to do with this? And was the Toronto Police behind the SECURITY GUARDS? I suspect so: the Toronto Police seem to treat SECURITY GUARDS like AN AUXILIARY POLICE FORCE. This especially HURTS because I'm Canada's ONLY HOMELESS political leader living in a shelter and *CONTINUALLY* being HARASSED BY THE POLICE as well as being under *EXTREME* SURVEILLANCE. Needless to say, I've had MY LAST Ferrero Rocher and WANT EVERYONE NOW to *BOYCOTT* Ferrero Rocher.
