Let Voters Fire The Mayor; Rossi

Citing the need to restore trust between angry voters and City Hall, Toronto mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi threw a curve into the mayor’s race today by announcing he would allow Toronto voters to recall their mayor and members of city council if they fail to live up to their promises.

Rossi said that within six months of his election, Toronto City Council would forward a motion to Queen’s Park requesting the implementation of voter recall legislation in the city.

“How we do it — what it looks like — and how it works — will all be developed by the citizens of Toronto in town halls and panels across the city,” said Rossi. “So let’s start talking about it — now and for the rest of the campaign. Voter recall is a tool to channel our disappointment into action — because action is what is needed at City Hall.”

No Pride at City Hall

Pride week is underway, but due to the city workers strike the pride flag won't be flying at city hall this year.  

Here's a shot of the CUPE members "working for us" this afternoon. I have to say as far as picketing goes these guys are pretty pathetic. No chant, no rallying cry, not even any walking around carrying signs. Just hiding in the shade and enjoying the beautiful weather.  

How can we be so mean to these poor, unfortunate and hard done by city workers? There obviously is no god!
