Quite agree he's not pissing away our money. He's burying it in one single hole in the ground when it was earmarked to improve transit and relive congestion all over the city.He would've still won by a lot if he hadn't raised or spent all that money. People wanted change from Miller.
Adding a subway is not pissing away money.
Rob Ford has invited the public on how to tackle the $774 million budget deficit.

Oh, and let's be correct. That hole is an LRT, not a subway. The subway he has promised—like he promised gravy cutting alone would put the City in the black—is Sheppard. Which he has no money for. What he does have is almost a billion dollar deficit, because he cut taxes we needed to balance the books. We note he's already spent the surplus from the last administration.
Rob promised private developers would finance Sheppard. That's why he has to bribe them with cheap land on the Waterfront.
BTW: That link is for the survey of taxpayers that is now finished. When most of the respondants answered that they'd rather see their taxes go up than have services cut, Rob pulled the plug on his own survey, saying it was "…statistically meaningless". One wonders what he paid the consultants who designed such a poor instrument.
That was money pissed away.
