Queen’s Park whines to David Miller: stop being a jerk
Somebody call the wahmbulance. The government of Ontario, having felt the bitter lash of Toronto’s mayoral disappointment, has sent Minister of Transportation Kathleen Wynne to gently request that David Miller stop saying mean things about Queen’s Park.
Reports the Sun:
Transit City likely will be built in about 10 years, instead of eight, which most people would consider a reasonable delay given the recession, she said.
“One of the biggest concerns I have right now is that the signals that are coming from city hall are about cuts instead of a delay,” Wynne said Monday. “We want to make this move as quickly as possible, and the way that’s going to work is to work with us, not to grandstand and say that we’re cutting. So that’s my frustration. That word keeps being used.”
Yes, that must be rough. It’s understandably frustrating when someone in government uses misleading words to describe their policies. Like when they say, “Here’s an intelligent sex-ed policy,” and what they mean is, “We’re withdrawing the intelligent sex-ed policy.” Or when they say, “Here’s some money for streetcars,” when what they mean to say is, “Here is no money for streetcars.”

The Liberal Party doesn’t know how to secure my vote. Every time I like what they are doing and consider voting for them in the next election, they do something stupid and lose my support.
Not the liberals to blame, its the stupid self service David sitting duck Miller of a Mayor. Why does he not just go home now and let a new strategic person come in and run the city. He needs to look deep inside and realize this Transit City is useless and bizarre. If we want the subway to the 905, WHY are we not asking them to fund some of it?Its their people who hate Downtown Toronto and talk bad about our condo haven while they run home to their big back yard- let them pay!
More buses & streetcar for transit city? Crazy! The dud of a miller & his TTC Giambrone have streetcars waiting on cars & stop lights on Queens Quay! Go visit Amsterdam to see the streetcar never stops on car- its the most bizare thing!
