Mayor Ford went on a guided tour of certain TCHC buildings in Toronto. He found exactly what I have been screaming about all last year. He found holes in walls, bedbugs, apartments unfit for human habitation. He was told by tenants that TCHC would not answer their calls for repairs etc. He learned that no one from TCHC will take the time to communicate with the tenants.
As a result Mayor Ford handed out a limited number of his buisness cards and said call him in a week if nothing has been repaired. GOD help us!!! He said nothing about what he intended to do about the terrible management of TCHC.
He left the tenants and those of us concerned with these conditions without answers or a stated course of actions by the City of Toronto to affect change.
Mayor Ford might just as well have gone to Kentucky Fried Chicken and left the tenants without hope of change. We all know that nothing will change here. Maybe the odd repair etc. but nothing sweeping in the scope necessary to help these people living in a slum.
