That ploy is at use again in Toronto's current radical advocacy to prevent needed fiscal restraint and cutbacks to special interests whose endowments are paid by tax dollars of average citizens who would be disgusted by their activities.
Enter the usual suspects, led by the odious Queers Against Israeli Apartheid. However, in this case, it is in a rare instance where they have not publicized their other affiliation, because they may finally have realized the disdain they invoke through it.
When the fanatical intellectual pygmies of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid were told by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford last spring that Toronto's Pride Festival funding was in danger if they participated, they grudgingly withdrew. The anti-Israel bigots attempted to couch their retreat from the largest Gay Pride festival in the world as a strategic challenge to the mayor, but fooled no one. Had Pride's funds been yanked because of them, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid knew they would be reviled in a community whose approbation they critically require. Unable to restrain themselves and keep their word, a pathetic display they mounted at the Dyke March under a different guise threatened to cause a re-examination of whether Pride would receive funds. Fortunately for Pride, it escaped that danger by an unshaven leg hair.
Yet as everyone knows, Hell hath no fury like an irrational, taste-challenged, non-gender normative, sexual minority scorned. Now that the radical left is trying to mount a challenge to the proposed round of cuts that the Mayor is examining to try to bring the city's huge deficit under control, the movement to try to vilify Rob Ford is being led by none other than the same mindless zealots who have sided with tyrannies against the middle east's only democracy. They appear to bear a burning grudge against the Mayor who stymied them.
Familiar names like Jenny Peto, who authored an anti-Semitic OISE thesis, Tim McCaskell, Mary-Jo Nadeau, Farzana Doctor, Jason Kunin, Jesse Zimmerman, Andy Lehrer, Liisa Schofield, Syed Hussan, Justin Podur, Alan Sears, Judy Rebick, etc, who are either members or friends of al-QuAIA, are all at the forefront of the new anti-Ford movement.
Voters in the provincial riding of Davenport might be interested to learn that their NDP candidate Jonah Schien also is among those who signed on to the anti-Ford petition filled with Marxist-sounding claptrap that wants more of your tax funds to be diverted to paying for services to illegal aliens among a host of other fatuous proposals.

With the media ganging up on him, Rob Ford's popularity has taken a slight dip recently, but that's likely to turn around soon thanks to the coalition of buffoons shrilly trying to demonize him.

Boy, you must be really scared to lay it on so thick. Ford's poll numbers are plummetting and the councillors who backed him during his honeymoon period are deserting him. Soon he and his brother will be able to do little else on council but play with their toy monorail set.
12:50 - You're welcome and people should always do their own research. This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
12:56 - I always find it encouraging to see people on the wrong side drinking their own kool-aid. That's how Ford ended up getting as many votes as all his opponents combined.
And for the record, I oppose library cuts. Libraries, unlike arts grants, are something that benefits everyone rather than a small clique who pretend that their craft is more important than anyone else's.
But the reality is that the city is spending more money than it can afford and tax increases will hurt everyone.
I hope the city leaves the libraries alone and finds the reductions elsewhere. However, I would predict that some compromises will be reached among responsible Council members, cuts will occur to the special interests that the fanatics crave, and the majority of the city will appreciate Ford's having made tough choices and advocacy on behalf of taxpayers.
Eyecrazy, do you even live in the city of Toronto?
"Library cuts" Libraries are not a service, they are simply a distribution channel. We need to spearate the service form the delivery. In every case, we need to go back to basics to define the actual service the building, staff etc. are supposed to deliver to determine if the current delivery is appropriate and efficient. Are there too many buildings, too geographically dispersed? Too much staff? Hours of operation? Are there other delivery methiods (e-books, internt, for example)
I think using volunteers in libraries to suppliment librarians would be one way of cutting costs. There are a number of retired people who would enjoy keeping busy and contributing to their community by doing that.
Do I live in Toronto? Anyone who follows this blog knows that yes, I do.
Volunteers are great. Many want to help maintain and beautify parks, for example. Pulic Service unions will resist. They are the biggest obstacle to the success of gov't to reduce costs and eliminate waste.
