Rob Ford is a travesty (though as the mayor of a city that also elected in Mel Lastman, he really isn't that much of an outlier), but saying that he was "treated fairly at first" is a laugh.
The Toronto Star, Canada's largest newspaper, has vilified him from day one. Perhaps they have been vindicated, but the utter trivia that they lambasted the man for daily -- stories that crowded out things like murders on the front page -- bordered on the ridiculous.
As to the casino, Ford thought the province would kick over $100 million. The province said more like $55 million. How does that equal "orders of magnitude"?
- astrodust 13y agoAs much as The Star has been critical of Ford, other papers would at least give him the benefit of the doubt. If he said he was working on something, or that something was a done deal, that's what they reported. I'd read that the math worked out to $10M a year, not $100M as requested, and that $55M would be under extremely optimistic circumstances.
