Like MPP, Like Mayor

Remember when I wrote a loooooooooooooong time ago asking "Is Dwight Duncan the role model for Eddie Francis? Preposterous you say. Well think about it." ["Like Two Peas In A Pod" October 31, 2005]

Oh some of you mocked me. How could that possibly be that Dwight and Eddie are the same?

Did you read the recent Editorial in the Star talking about a financial bailout for Toronto or "$1.5-billion subway extension that will cater to voters in Toronto and surrounding regions?" The Editorial writer fumed:

• "If the Ontario government has money to throw around, it should give it back to the people it took it from and let Toronto make the hard choices necessary to hold the line on taxes. This is the provincial government, after all, that slammed taxpayers with a health levy after explicitly promising not to raise taxes.
  
  Any extra cash in provincial coffers should be used to lower taxes for residents of every municipality in the province, not just vote-rich Toronto."
  
  

I wish that Editorial writer would fume about the "wiggle room" that we have in Windsor next and suggest that it be used to deal with the serious issues in Windsor or to lower even more our taxload rather than use it for a frivolity like making 3 millionaires richer at our expense with a taxpayer paid arena.
