CONTRARY TOWN: Don’t even ask, the answer is no

Here is a study that finds Toronto City Councillors vote “no” much more often than councillors in cities like Ottawa and Hamilton. The think tank Manning Centre says Toronto Councillors take four times as long debating items as those others places and vote no 11.2 percent of the time compared to 0.1 percent in those other places. Are they awake? Okay that’s unfair but it is not necessarily a bad a thing that we get a goodly number of no votes. Some of the ideas are really bad. CP24
