I'll bet dollars to donuts you pay little in taxes, but take everything in services because, you know, you deserve it.
I think you`re in for a shock.

Then Ontario deserves him and the upheaval and chaos to come. I'll survive, will some of the others?
I wish... we live in a world where this is becoming increasingly impossible. The parties have more or less decided where they stand, with the Liberal party being (theoretically) as close to that balance, which is why they have earned that 'natural ruling party' moniker.
Good infrastructure is incredibly expensive, as are social safety nets and it's what makes Ontario a very good place to live. We have low unemployment and a high standard of living. If you can't make it here...
We put SFA into our electrical grid for 20 years and were paying for it now.
I travel a lot, and once you start to gain perspective on how others live it's very easy to see how myopic (and selfish) people can get.
As far as stating taxation is theft, especially in an advanced and civilized country, only word I have is parasite.

True, socialism is expensive - in Ontario, 1 out of 10 adults (762,000) was on the public teat in December. That's more than double the rate of the USA. That's just social assistance, it doesn't count those working in gov't.
We have artificially low unemployment. The public sector adds jobs at about the same rate the province's private sector loses jobs. Despite good economic times, the Ontario liberal government is masking employment numbers -- their role in the economy is to stimulate job growth, not fudge it.
I've been fortunate to see most of the world, and live in several countries. Ontario is in the top 2 places I've lived -- I'm not so sure that rank can sustain itself if we continue to Greek our economy.

Got another for you:
As far as I know, most of Council spent all of their time trying to sabotage and get rid of him, they did managed to take away his powers. In the meantime the city went to ..... So how exactly was it his fault, and not theirs?
