The Globe and Mail unclear on the concept of Democracy

Marcus Cement Condos are Peachy Gee, always to be relied upon to pen some of Toronto's more reactionary and retrograde verbiage:

Ford’s opponents need to compromise or innovate

Um ok sure. What they really mean is lay down and roll over. Fucking over the poor in Toronto should be a no brainer

For a city facing a $774-million budget shortfall, and a public housing repair backlog almost as big, deciding to sell off 22 rundown houses should not have been tough. Yet city councillors thrashed it over for an afternoon, an evening and into the following morning. There were impassioned speeches. There were nuisance amendments. There was foot-dragging and filibustering.

How dare these people debate the fate of the poor. Vote, toss 'em out and move on, sheesh what is all the fuss?

Listen to the tone of this:

Mr. Ford’s opponents are so set against him that they oppose him even when he makes sense. Instead of better ideas, we get filibusters and fulmination. It won’t do.

Translation: Even if you think the Mayor is wrong, which he obviously isn't, you need to roll over and do his bidding. Isn't that the way modern Canadian democracy works?

In reality, Mr Gee and his ilk are just hoping their property values go up. He's penned loving tomes on this topic as well.
