Seriously! The editor’s note – my letter titled: ‘The Rob Ford Era’
November 21, 2013 · 0 Comments
Dear editor:
Seriously? Rob Ford has saved the taxpayer millions of dollars! I think we’re dealing with smoke and mirrors when looking at Toronto’s finances.
Not seriously! Sometimes I write tongue-in-cheek and my comment on the police chiefs was one. However, next time I’ll draw a smiley face after similar comments or opinions.
As to moral value – we’re plagued with men and women within our elected system, and that includes federal, provincial, county and municipal, who do not have moral vales. This is indicated by the Quebec inquiry into paybacks in the awarding of construction contracts. As I’ve said countless times, “honesty indicates high moral vales”. Have we had continuous honesty at Toronto City Hall?
I know some people continue to believe that the Ford Nation is in full bloom – I don’t.
Listening to the radio, reading the newspapers and watching the TV indicate to intelligent people that the Rob Ford era hasn’t been Canada’s finest hour!
The saddest aspect of the fiasco in Toronto is the fact it may continue for just under another year. It could go on for another four years if the electorate doesn’t look for high moral standards. Studying carefully every candidate is a must!
Vaughan G. Harris,
Tottenham
