Mayoral duties

Rob Ford, the Mayor of Toronto, hosted the Prime Minister of Canada and paid for a barbeque out of his own pocket. 

Yet what do the whiners who demand entitlements from the City of Toronto say about the Mayor?  “Rob Ford did not go to Pride” seems to be all that we are ever going to hear from the entrenched, preachy, self-entitlers every time the Mayor does something that might really benefit Toronto. On a weekday Rob Ford found time to spend with someone (Prime Minister) who may actually have the clout to make a contribution to the lives of ALL Torontonians. The Mayor did not go to Pride Parade on a holiday weekend when he had pre-existing family commitments.

Whatever the Mayor tries to do to reverse the disastrous 7 years of David Miller is not really a concern to those of a particular radical political hue. For instance, is it right that the riding of ex-Mayor David Miller has 4 libraries and North York has effectively a ½? Yet any equalization of libraries is being selfishly fought by those who have a surplus. Rob Ford did not go to a Parade where the vast majority of participants detest him. Meanwhile, the organizers of Pride spend their time, funds and efforts agitating for the inclusion of an anti-Semitic hate group within their activities, rather than focusing on LGBT rights. Personally, I wouldn’t want to go to a parade where I am not truly wanted, nor one that includes haters.

The entitlement junkies are selfish brats and do not realize, or possibly care, that every $ spent on their gifts from the City diminishes the $'s and thus the services that are available to help those who truly need municipal social assistance.
