Just watching CTV news.

So the Ontario finance minister proposed that the province wants to help by brining in some 3rd party experts to review the budget and look into how and where the money is being spent. He is pretty much also saying that it is a stupid idea to shut down the subway line.

WELL....Toronto doesn;t want that...they just want the provinces money..

Great fucking work!


they need to send in sheila fraser. She'll sort them out. Im willing to bet it will be adscam times 1000 once shes done auditing those books.

Can we really trust the mcguinty liberals to keep their word? They dont really have a good track record do they?

Of course, Miller doesn't actually understand that, he was just dumping his own problems onto the TTC, just as he was trying to dump them onto the taxpayers before that.

Oh, and notice how there's no background, context, or opposing viewpoints presented in the article? Right, that's because it's the Star. Seriously... please don't post material from that rag.


+1.... yes that's right digi I agree with you. Hell has freeken froze over. Except for the Star = Rag comment. All media sucks and has bias. If you really want to be well informed you have to search for various sources of information yourself.

The TTC does have a bloated budget and it sucks that they use the threat of fare hikes and service cuts when they could very easily trim "in house costs". I know cause I've worked there, there are employees there that do fuck all. The only problem is if in house cuts ever happened the union would strike and we wouldn't have TTC.

Let us not forget that its not only the TTC saying that they will need to make budget cuts. This threat by Miller has been extended to many areas.

i understand the way it works, i'm saying if we didn't have to support the troops the budget per province would be much higher than it is now.

We're there because Canada is a part of NATO.

As for the TTC - it's options are pretty limited given how much of its financing relies on solely the municipal level of government. Perhaps the TTC can do like San Fran's BART system - and sell bonds to cover the cost of operations/upgrades. (lol)

Apparently, something like 80% of the TTC is funded by fares alone - the province nearly took over its operations years ago but that never happened.

Toronto Police Services Stands To Lose $10M
Friday July 20, 2007
CityNews.ca Staff

The TTC isn't the only city service that's facing major cuts as the Toronto Police Service is also being asked to slash about $10 million from its budget.

While officials with the force and the Police Service Board are committed to maintaining staff levels, they could target overtime. It appears the extra hours are eating up $35 million of the forces nearly $800 million financial plan.

"I believe that the chief manages the premium pay very well, but nevertheless I think that's a big account that is deserving of a very careful look to see if there's anything we can do because that's a big part of the money," said Alok Mukherjee, Chair of Police Services Board.

Emergency services like fire and ambulance are also being asked to slice anywhere from $25 to $30 million.

i'm still surprised that the TTC uses half of the city's budget and is only used by what... around 20% of the population? if they got rid of half the damn execs (minus the severance packages... lol) that would fix the problem.
