Well, that's the story he's selling. There are more than one fiscal conservative on Toronto city council. I find it hard to believe he is the best, or even capable of leading the charge. He certainly is good at saying BILLIONS!!

The Star had a good breakdown of the claimed vs actual savings. He has pushed the city in a more responsible fiscal direction, but there will be a lot of fallout from his time as mayor.

I hope for Toronto's sake that John Tory decides to run for mayor.


Agree on the first point.

The Star is a poor source where politics are concerned. They basically gave McGinty a free pass on anything he did when he was premier yet were trying to undermine Ford from the moment he became mayor. Everyone knows where the Stars politics are aligned.

John Tory would be a better choice, but has stuck his foot in his mouth, big time, in the past.
