Mayor Ford fumbles for third time on transit. ⇒

   23 March 2012, late morning

The Great Subway Battle of 2012™ was Mayor Rob Ford’s to lose, and he lost it with such single-mindedness and determination that this episode may well go down in Toronto history as the textbook example of political self-immolation.

This whole piece is an enjoyable read. As it stands, Ford wasted a year and a half trying to build subways in the suburbs we don’t need right now, and couldn’t afford anyway.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
