Another toronto councillor trying to take mamdani's ideas to bankrupt the city faster. City run grocery stores with no dc's, no property tax and presumably union employees with pensions. It will be a train wreck.

But, but, imagine if we had that 1 billion wasted on the Eglinton LRT, that would cover something like this and more easily....

Public sector unions have no limit, they know their host can't die and the pool is infinite so you might as well take every drop.
