Mayor David Miller Bows Out (Video)

The vehicle registration tax (on of many retarded ideas) was passed through because of him. he never listened to the vehicle owners, private and business then had this grin on the news because he felt above the law stealing from the vehicle owners. He better pay them all back real quick including other retarded taxes he's imposed in Toronto. he won't be missed even when he pays restitution to everyone.

The city and TTC, broke by him. Let's hope he leaves office now and the city gets an interim mayor to start doing a forensic financial check on where the retarded tax money went to.

You both have very short memories. Torontonians need to adopt a more generous spirit. We've become too prone to griping and complaining.

$50. a year to tax an indoor cat? I never knew he was that low!

There should be some kind of protest day at city hall, of taxpayers wanting their money back. This has been so unfair to all of us. We can't be sheep to city hall anymore.

I'm sure the next mayor and council is going to repeal all the tax grabs ,just like the public wants......ha ha !

A sad, sad day for Toronto.

Miller was one of the brightest and hard-working Mayors Toronto had ever seen. We improved so much thanks to him. Think of what it would have been like of Mel Lastman continued to reign? Or what conservative catastrophes John Tory would have caused?

A truly kind, caring, smart and selfless human being.

Thank you, Mayor, for doing a great job!

"...he felt above the law stealing from the vehicle owners. He better pay them all back real quick including other [...] taxes he's imposed in Toronto."

I can't speak for how he felt, but I can tell you what he was (and is) doing: exercising the lawful powers of the office to which he was democratically and legitimately elected. He didn't <em>steal</em> a cent.

You don't have to vote for him; you don't have to drink the kool-aid; you don't have the approve of his policies; you don't have to keep quiet about your views. BUT! This scorched-earth B.S. nonsense attitude according to which everything you don't like is transformed by spite, sore-loserdom and stupidity into something <em>illegal</em> and illegitimate has to end. It is a cancer that's slowly but surely killing civic discourse.

"The city and TTC, broke by him."

Right. New + higher taxes = more revenue = going broke? Please consider spoiling your ballet in the next municipal election.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

His two children are soon to come into adolescence.
They've done without a father for about seven years.

They deserve their father on a full-time basis rather
than the present situation.

Whom will you be apologetic about now?

I'm ok with him not running....

I cannot fucking wait for the cultural shift that puts an end to the sneering, destructive do-nothings who have nothing good to say about anything or anyone, and take great joy in sniping at hope and vision from the sidelines. Unfortunately, the participatory age of blogs & comments means that these venal people who used to just stay in and sneer at their TV sets now spread their bile everywhere. My kingdom for a filter that can block out their noise.

You are the one drinking kool-Aid if you think Miller was good.

Good Bye David Miller and don't come back

And I thought Lastman was bad.
