Source: Globe and MailThe brouhaha over ice time at Toronto City Hall is a metaphor for all that is wrong with big government - probably all of them, but certainly Mayor David Miller's Toronto.
The mantras of Mr. Miller's government go roughly like this: Let us fix what is not broken and ruin what is working well; let us contrive to create a crisis where none exists; let us engage in a bogus "consultation" process when the fix is in; let us decry a lack of transparency in the enemy while working behind the scenes ourselves and, above all, let us give nary a thought to the poor, beleaguered taxpayer.
