Wow ... A miracle in Toronto ... David Miller mysteriously finds $104 Million surplus

The tricks and scams played in Ontario by Premier Dalton McGuinty and then followed up by David Miller, mayor of Toronto, would put those Chicago politicians to shame. These two guys could  write a bestseller which would be  a users' manual for all politicians on how to hoodwink taxpayers and still look and sound like they are doing their best for the same people they have skewered on a red hot skewer over fiery hot coals without feeling a pang of guilt or shame.

Both these men are devoted to the bloated Unions of Ontario. They keep on adding more and more benefits, more bonuses, more wage increases, more this, more that, more of everything for Union members and the rest goes to public servants and those on Ontario government's handouts. The people who get shafted in this province are the taxpayers from the private sector and the helpless retirees. And what do we get in return.... oh yeah, we get to stink up our homes hoarding our garbage for weeks on end while the mayor pretends to negotiate on our behalf with the garbage collectors' unions, like he did with Oscar winning skills last year. Such sham and chicanery from any two individuals choking the life out of Toronto at one and the same time has never been seen in the history of this city.. Never.

Now, this Union lover of a mayor wants us to believe that lo and behold he has been instrumental in finding $104 Million surplus in the city's $ 9 Billion budget, so let's give him a big hand. What does that say about the kind of accountants and auditors the city employs? How come $ 104 Million could go for a leisurely walk all this time and then miracle of miracles it all comes  back  smiley faced with hugs and kisses for the mayor ? What are the chances that the mysterious $104 Million that has materialized from thin air was actually earmarked for some equally "mysterious" project and only because of the intense criticism flung at the mayor he has now chickened out of that project and like a  conniving wizard that he is, he waves a wand and the city is suddenly $ 104 million richer. Oh the tricks our elected officers play. Boy oh Boy.
 
Here's another take on this story from the Toronto Sun.

  1. How much do you want to bet that a lot of that miracle surplus came in money saved during the garbage strike? Guys like that don't find surplusses in these economic conditions without some plausible explanation.

    Why do you insist on living in that hellhole?

  2. Iceman - just like you suffer through the madness of the CBC so you can report on them for our benefit, I am doing my bit to warn readers from other Provinces what is in store for them if they go with lying liberals to lead them into nothing but frustration and grief.
