Mayor Rob Ford: Subways

Subways Dept: ON TRANSIT :, according to The Star. March 22: In a speech before council s vote on Sheppard Ave. E. transit: People hate the St. Clair. They hate these streetcars. You can call them what they want. People want subways, folks. They want subways, subways. They don t want these damned streetcars blocking up our city. That s what they don t want. From a transit debacle to football controversies to a court case that may cost him his job, Mayor Rob Ford s year was both unusually eventful and plain unusual and, through it all, Ford remained his quotable self. His best quotes from 2012: Jan. 30: At one of his public weigh-ins, after TTC Chair Karen Stintz challenged his proposal to bury the entire Eglinton LRT: It s the taxpayers. The taxpayers want I was elected on subways, they want subways, I was out on Saturday, people want subways. That s it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
