Small consolation since Tory has carried on with the core Ford executive committee and downtown-unfriendly policies, The amalgamated city is riven between downtown and suburban factions, with the "tax-and-spend" downtown consistently out-voted on key issues related to civic quality of life and the funding necessary for it.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Jun 2017 12:28 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41931.56&return_msg=41931.56" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41931.56"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41931_57"></a><div class="message" id="message_41931_57"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">12 Jun 2017 17:05</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Jun 2017 18:55"></span></span> <span class="message_count">57 of 62</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41931.57">41931.57</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41931.6">41931.6</a></div> <div class="message_body"> So remind us again of how obvious it was?
