Toronto: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on Toronto Mayor John Tory to drop his demands for a $1.4-billion bailout from federal and provincial governments and instead cut waste such as an uncompetitive construction bidding process and a multi-billion dollar park.
"We have a simple solution for Mayor Tory's $1.4-billion budget quandary: he should abandon his plan to build a $3.8-billion floating park," said Jasmine Moulton, the CTF's Ontario Director. "There are far more pressing priorities in the city right now, and the mayor shouldn't be taking more money out of taxpayers' pockets when instead he could redirect funding from his pet project."
