Rob Ford says unemployed people don’t need transit
At a rambling campaign press conference on Tuesday, Rob Ford made a comment that, even by his standards, was pretty bizarre: “If you haven’t got a job, you won’t need transit,” he said, according to the Sun. “If you cannot leave your house to go to or look for a job, what’s the sense in having transit?” The suggestion that unemployed people (meaning seniors and students, among others) don’t need TTC access is an odd one coming from a candidate who has constantly relied on subway promises to woo suburban voters. This and other comments Ford made during the same appearance are being interpreted as an attempt to downplay transit as an election issue in favour of economic policy, which the mayor may consider to be his real point of strength (even though it isn’t).

Mr. Big Stuff- just who do you think you are? How dare you be that arrogant? Just who do you think you are?
Oh I get it.. just be a regular guy like Rob. The guy with an Etobicoke ranch house. Drive a Cadillac Escalade because you don’t need TTC. What a silver spoon, elitist, trust fund brat.
I agree only for the bums who leech off the hardworking. So hes at least half right.
Did you know the Cadillac Escalade is leased by Deco Labels and does not belong to Rob Ford……( that’s just my personal opinion ) right Doug…………..
If only employed people need transit, and can afford the taxes it’ll cost to put into it, why are we proposing such a dramatic increase of transit?
