My trouble right now with people like Mayor Tory and other, actual, reasonable voices, the Board of Trade, a handful of transit planning experts, telling us to settle down and approach the Doug Ford government in 'good faith' over its transit plans.

On every other front, Doug Ford has systematically gone to war with education, healthcare, increasing income and outcome inequality, the environment, the very nature of governance itself, yet with this, the transit file he's all about 'good faith' transit policy?

How do you arrive at the conclusion, I wonder? Do the math for me. Like every other policy initiative it's nothing but bluster and barking. And still your counsel is, Good faith. It's a good start. Give it a chance.

I don't understand why.

Doug Ford I get. He's vindictive, petty and ignorant.

What I don't get is the supposed objective observers providing cover for his nonsense.

And it is nonsense. Everything he does is nonsense. Nasty, destructive nonsense.

Except for transit, apparently.

I mean -- FUCK!

Doug Ford blindsided and undermined his own brother when he lobbed that waterfront ferris wheel and monorail scheme.

But he'll play nice and in good faith with Toronto? A city represented by a man he openly dislikes and disrespects?
