MAYOR TORY'S BUDGET

Over 10% of our  2015 budget goes directly to the most useless organization in the city.....The Toronto Police Force. TCHC can wait for their needed repairs, water and sewer lines can wait and Mayor Tory borrows $200 Million from the Ontario Government to balance the budget.

What are we paying for when we give the Toronto Police Force $1.15 Billion dollars? On the record they cannot stop illegal handguns from getting into the hands of street gangs. There seems to be a shooting or a knifing ever other day in this city. The police have a Guns and Gangs Group who must sit in bars and wait for a killing before they get off their asses. I believe this group is an additional cost to tax payers ( over and above the original budget figure). According to the news I read, the only crime in this city is perpetrated by street gangs.

We are the only city in North America that does not appear to have an organized crime problem (according to the actions of the police). We have no commercial crime and very little drug traffic. Hell, Mayor Ford smoked crack in public and on video and was not arrested. I'm starting to believe that the cops are selling arms and drugs to the gangs.  I'm concerned enough to start looking into Mike McCormack's (Toronto Police Union, President) trunk.

Anyway, our police are not worth the cost to the public. The Force should be completely overhauled. The next Police Chief should be elected. No Cops Need Apply!!!!

Mayor John Tory

What are we going to do about this lying bastard??  Now its new charges for little league hockey players. How this is going to help repay a $200 Million loan from the Ontario Government is beyond my understanding.

Outstanding repair costs on buildings operated by Toronto Community Housing stands at $2.4 Billion and there is no money available. If we all took a look at the costs involved in revitalizing TCHC, sewer and water line repair, road and bridge repairs we would see that the above costs would exceed the entire city budget of about $10 Billion for 2015. What does Mayor Tory do? He raises the rates on small children who wish to play our national sport.
On top of the above Mayor Tory hires 88 new police officers. Just what this city needs is more police.

THE CITY STATE OF TORONTO (An Alternative)

I will not try to describe a city state. Let me just say that we separate from Canada and the province of Ontario and become an independent state. Presently, we pay the bulk of our taxes to Ontario and the Federal Government of Canada. Revenue would not be a problem in such an independent state.

Anyone interested in such an idea please contact me.

TORONTO CITY COUNCIL (DYSFUNCTIONAL)

It is time that the people of this city stand up and scream! This city needs TTC (Subway) expansion, the Gardiner Expressway fixed or removed, water and sewer lines updated and an expansion of  the existing bus services. What we get is a piece meal budget that does not meet our needs." A budget of political fear"

If we need the above then I suggest we bite the bullet and get it done. City Council is afraid to face the taxpayer on the costs involved and the increase in property tax necessary to achieve the desired results. They are afraid even to discuss the idea of a car permit into the inner core of the city. A combination of increased taxes and the permit (as above). at this point in time, are necessary to support the health and welfare of our city. We need to modernize our approach to city council politics. This means we must realize our needs and pay the costs involved.

TTC Rapid Transit Funding Solution .... Toronto

Every four year term Toronto politicians keep trying to solve the problems of TTC service and congestion. This is my answer to the problem..

We define an area encompassing the core of the city. As an example let us say an area bounded by Lawrence Ave. to the north, Victoria Park Ave to the east, Lake Ontario to the south and Islington Ave to the west. All vehicles entering this zone must have a permit to do so..say a sticker on their license plate. This sticker would be purchased yearly and an absence of this sticker would subject the driver to a fine enforced by Toronto Police.

The above would lessen vehicle traffic in the city core and add to heavier TTC usage. All monies obtained by the city by this method would allow City Council to immediately build whatever new subway routes they wish and to expand bus services.

This is a simple answer to funding our transit problems. It will immediately make funds available for the expansion of the subway and bus services.

Mayor John Tory.... Campaign Lies.... Here We Go Again!

Mayor Tory considers himself a Toronto elite, Upper Canada College graduate, lawyer, wealthy
 country club member etc,etc. On the campaign trail for mayor he deliberately lied to the people of Toronto. First, he ran on "no increase in TTC rates", secondly, "a balanced budget with an increase based on cost of living". The TTC  rate increase was not his fault he says. It was Mayor Fords' cut in services that he was unaware of, that caused the increase in TTC fares to restore said services.... However, he deliberately lied on a promise to balance the budget. It seems he "borrowed" $87 million from the Ontario Government in order to achieve a balanced budget. Since borrowing monies from the province had never been done before, the Toronto Councillors understood it to be additional funding from Queens Park and almost missed that it was a loan.

So now we have a $ 87 million deficit in the budget! He has increased property taxes, water usage and garbage pickup rates in the budget. So what new taxes can we look forward to in the future? Maybe Toronto should expropriate all privately owned golf courses and Upper Canada College for property to build affordable housing.

To put it bluntly, John Tory is a lying bastard . I am sure this will continue for the next four years. By the way,is it against the law to burn any/all lying politicians at the stake in Toronto? We could make such a burning a public holiday.

Mike McCormack, President of the Police Union, Toronto Police Department

Apparently, the Toronto Police Union is displeased with the reappointment of the Chairman of the Toronto Police Services Board. Mr. McCormack, with your criminal record and personal history, I advise you to just shut your mouth and thank, whatever God you believe in, that you have a job. Actually, you should be doing hard time for your past crimes.

You are the perfect role model for what I call the "GOOF IN BLUE"....... By the way, I understand you won the election for union president by only 160 votes. Smells bad to me Mike, especially knowing your past history

Mayor Tory....Budget and Capital Spending

Well we have not got the T.T.C. news yet (10:27A.M.). Oops I better wait a few minutes. CP24  says Mayor Tory's statement  "is up coming ".........

Mayor Tory has a new name, "The Nickel and Dime Mayor". Right out of the box he breaks his campaign promise and raises T.T.C.fairs by a dime a ride. This bastard is going to nickel and dime us to death over the period of his term in office. "Come on John lets have it all at once!". You have no money and the prospects of provincial and federal funding are dismal at best. You are saddled with road repair, water and sewer line updates, the T.T.C. and the rotting Gardener Expressway nightmare.

You lied your way into office, as only a true politician could and now you are telling us slowly that we will need to pay the piper for your deliberate criminal election promises. Why not ask Ralph Lean for an interest free loan?

Mayor Tory Is Again ALL MOUTH NO ACTION (TCHC)


Mayor Tory appoints Art Eggelton to open study on TCHC. Christ!! There must be hundreds of studies on TCHC littering the halls of City Hall. When a politician has no idea what he is doing he orders up a study. How much are we paying Art Eggelton and how much is budgeted towards this useless endeavor?? If you can't handle the job Mayor Tory ...resign!
  
In addition to the above,  Mayor Tory states that he has learned that talks concerning monies from the Federal and Provincial Governments, to assist the financial needs of Toronto (subway), are not going well. Surprise! Surprise!

If you are looking for something to do Mr. Mayor why not slap Ralph Lean's wrist for being 100% over budget as President of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Committee. Oh! I forgot Ralph Lean paid your election campaign costs.

Another do nothing Mayor!

Results From My Last Few Blogs Re: Mike McCormack, President, Police Force Union, Etc.


Absolute silence from all parties! No response to my blogs!

I guess Mayor Tory, Councillor Ford, etc, etc could care less about Mike McCormack.
If this is their attitude I suggest to the people of Toronto that we are in for a long four years. I also suggest to you that CP24, CTV, and Bell Canada are distorting news coverage in support of organized crime.

Its just a matter of time before what is really happening in this city (the truth) will explode into public view and we (the people) will pay the price.

Mike McCormack and Stephen LeDrew

Last week on CP24's  Stephen LeDrew Live, Mr LeDrew interviewd Mike McCormack, President of the Toronto Police Union. Mr. LeDrew was surely aware of Mike McCormacks past history (thief, liar, bully, felon and overall a "dirty cop")  yet, he considered McCormack as the go to guy to discuss the relationship of police with the public. All of this brought forward by recent problems in the United States as a result of racial killings committed by police.

The problem Mr. LeDrew was sitting right there in front of you. No person in Toronto would trust McCormack and no person could respect such a man. Police in this city are not respected nor trusted.  Mike McCormack is the "poster cop" for whats wrong with the Toronto Police Force.

Mike McCormack, President, Toronto Police Union (A Dirty Cop)


Mike McCormack and his brother were investigated by internal affairs regarding the theft (in Toronto) of high end cars for shipping and resale in Asia. In addition they were investigated by internal affairs for operating a protection racket for bars on the entertainment strip, informing the bars when a law enforcement operation would happen giving them advance notice. This was all in the Globe and Mail in 2004, 2005.

I assume when your father was the former Chief of Police, internal affairs would look the other way regarding the above charges. Internal affairs' records regarding investigations of "their own" is even worse than those of the Special Investigation Unit. Anyway Mike McCormack, a dirty cop, now sits as President of the Toronto Police Union. What the hell is the matter with this city? Now you know why I am asking for an audit of the Police Union.

How can the general public have any respect for the Toronto Police Department? How can we trust anything these people do?

I have emailed both Rob Ford and John Tory on this matter. I have yet to receive a response.

Mayor Tory Is "ALL MOUTH NO ACTION"

    Mayor Tory has climbed into bed with the Toronto Police Force.

1. Joined the Police Services Board
2. Attended the graduation of 88 new police recruits
3. Told police to resume ticketing vehicles parked illegally on Toronto streets

   What he has not done.

1. Said nothing about the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Committee's report that they were 100% over budget
    (Ralph Lean being President)
2. Said nothing about the Toronto Subway Relief Line
3. Said nothing on any proposed funding for any subway expansion

    Basically Mayor Tory is not a DOER. He is only a TALKER . An all talk no action politician.
    We will get nothing until Mayor Tory has "FEED" Ralph Leans boys. Tory's backers are at the             head of the line to the money trough

Toronto Police Union Should Be Audited


The Toronto Police Union, to my knowledge has never been audited. The Toronto Police Department being a part of the City of Toronto I assume is audited regularly; however, said audit would not include the police union fund.

I suggest that Mayor John Tory along with the Toronto City Council move that such an audit be undertaken and concluded before Chief Bill Blair leaves office. This should be done to protect those officers already on the pension and those about to retire. The amount of money in this union pension should be extensive and of concern to all police officers.  The amount and the subsequent outside investment of such monies should be a a matter of public record. 

WE MUST ELECT THE NEXT CHIEF OF POLICE IN TORONTO

We must hold a public election to choose the next police chief in the City of  Toronto.
Presently, the chief is appointed by a "Police Board", as appointed by the mayor and the city council.
As a result we have a chief of police, unlimited in his actions, commanding 8,000 armed men/women. The chief is subject to none of the necessary controlling processes to prevent any misuse of power. As a result we have allowed the creation of an independent police culture. They are "a state within a state" where the police are not subject to criminal law. Toronto City Council has no control over the actions of Toronto Police Force.

In addition any charges brought into court under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, against the police, can immediately be dismissed. They need only to state that the plaintiff is/was under investigation at the time of the complaint. The Charter is in reality a useless piece of paper.

When a populace depends on an outside force to protect them... they are no longer free. The police act with no "checks and balances". We passively sit and watch as mental patients, teenagers and others are murdered on our streets. We do this because there is at present no way to stop these injustices. The people of Toronto are powerless to act.

If we elected the police chief we would then have a measure of control over the actions of the police force. At present we have no control.

I ask that you tweet all members of City Council, the Mayor and the Premier of Ontario asking for an immediate election for Police Chief in Toronto...put an end to the "War Lords in Blue" killing our kids.


 

Mike McCormack, Toronto Police Union

Mike McCormack borders on mental instability. He has criminally abused his position with the Toronto police force. From drugs and alcohol to criminal abuse of power
Mike McCormack has disgraced his family and the city of Toronto.


Mike McCormack is the epitome of the brutal police culture that exists today in the Toronto police force. It is time we (the people) took back our streets from the "goofs" in blue.

The next police chief should be "ELECTED" by we the people not appointed by politicians.
