Not content with unleashing the homophobes, City Hall now courts the racists

Mayor Ford and Co., amateur hour in action.

Officials at City Hall are trying to get out of the immigration resettlement business.

Stopping payment on the city’s share of payments to help newcomers settle in Toronto will help to alleviate some of next year’s projected $774 million budget shortfall.

Proposed cuts to the funding of immigrants and refugees will mean chopping their welfare, public housing, medical and language training costs.

And who is spearheading this thuggish idea?

Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti estimates “tens of millions of dollars” are spent by the city to help resettle newcomers, who include refugees and immigrants.

That cash could be going towards the city’s deficit, he said.

Mammoliti said he is being stonewalled by city bureaucrats as he tries to obtain documents to determine the full costs of immigration services to taxpayers.

“This is definitely something that has to be looked at,” Mammoliti said. “I am flabbergasted by a lack of information and the city should not be in the welfare business.”
