Toronto The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly....

My old pal, Don, from our days working for Ontario Hydro, no longer with us, used to refer to Toronto tongue-in-cheek as "The Center of The World". Luckily for him, he missed the Ford era there. A lot of other Torontonians wish they had, I'm sure.

When Canada's largest city has a mayor like Ford was, it says a lot about the quality of our politicians, don't you think? That asshole gave the whole country a black eye in front of God and everybody, and he should be barred from holding any political office anywhere for the rest of his natural life plus three days.

Reading about his exploits, I'm exceedingly thankful I ran away from Ontario's greatest waste of reinforced concrete forty-six years ago, before the inmates took over the funny farm there. That gigantic 'whooshing' sound is a communal sigh of relief coming from Toronto voters this morning, in anticipation of getting their reputation restored to somewhere above absolute zero. I wish them well.
