George Smitherman: Fiscal Challenges

Newcomers Dept: At a debate Tuesday night, Ford squared off with George Smitherman over immigration issues, according to CTV. "There are going to be 1 million more people according to The Official Plan -- which I did not support – over the next 10 years coming into Toronto." Mayoral candidate Rob Ford is calling for a cap on immigration to Toronto, suggesting the city's fiscal challenges make it difficult for newcomers to be supported. "We can't even deal with the 2.5 million people in this city. I think it's important we take care of the people now before we start bringing in more," Ford said. As reported in the news.
