Maybe that speaks to the mayor as more of a figurehead than anything? Its interesting.

I wouldn't say everything is fine.
Gang violence is on the rise and many of the roads and expressways are crumbling. I'm not saying that Toronto didn't have a revenue problem and that cuts needed to be made, but Ford's complete disdain for inner-city communities and infrastructure upgrades is really hurting Toronto IMO. I can see Toronto becoming like Detroit soon as more and more wealthy people are chased from the core to the suburbs.
