below: What is happening? By the looks of it, Doug Ford and John Tory have taken up cricket. Nice uniforms but something’s not cricket…
below: What is happening is a protest. A decent sized crowd gathered at Nathan Phillips Square late this afternoon because why? Because another Ford, another protest. Been there, done that, and is he really going to do what? Sigh.
below: Making a point. Doug Ford recently dictated that the sex ed curriculum brought in by the last government will no longer be taught because not enough parents had been consulted about its contents. Today he announced that the number of Toronto city council seats will be reduced from 47 to 25 after he consulted with zero zilch nada of Toronto’s 2.7 million people. Hypocrisy. It also gives credence to the theory that this is all sour grapes – he lost the last mayoral election to John Tory and his ego is damaged.
below: “To succeed we must secede #provinceofontario” An interesting concept?
below: Ford did campaign on cheap beer, a dollar a can if I remember correctly. There was no beer at Nathan Phillips square this afternoon. No consultations AND no beer.
below: A lone dissenter (or at least the only visible one). “Thank you Doug Ford. You saved me a part of my battle, for the Mayor’s office. Harris suggested this at amalgamation you put it in to action. Jim McMillan.”
Once the speeches were over, some of the protesters went inside City Hall to the council chambers where a city council meeting was in progress. We’ll see what happens in the coming days and weeks.
below: Like most days, there were lots of tourists in the square too. But that’s a whole other story!
