Greetings from Transit City

If I were in the business of creating reality shows, I would be hauling a crew up here to Toronto to set up Real World Transit City. And the first person I would put in the house is Mayor Rob Ford. I could fill you in on all the melodrama, but I feel like these headlines really sum it up:

• Mayor Rob Ford’s “Save Our Subways” campaign does nothing for Sheppard commuters and only hurts the TTC

• Mayor Rob Ford whiffs, swinging for subway fences

• Mayor Rob Ford brushes aside poll that says Torontonians don’t trust him to handle subways-LRT debate

• Mayor Rob Ford fumbles as city staff deem subway funding risky and unworkable

• Council showdown looms over who should be on the Toronto Transit Commission

• Rob Ford crashes head-first into 21st century reality

• Only a judge can fire a mayor

Did I mention that these were all just from this week? You get the point - this guy would be absolutely terrific in a Real World house. And I think the second person I would add to the house would be the author of this sign. I spotted this today on Queen Street at Broadview Avenue.

A few notes: David Miller was the former Mayor and creator of the Transit City plan, and Gary Webster is the TTC general manager who was fired last week by...that's right, Rob Ford! So good.
