text: Toronto is doomed unless they can get their spending in order.  When land transfer taxes, the double dip they've been living on dries up, how will they be able to afford paying consultants and shady contractors $150,000 for a set of stairs (not a huge stair case by the way, at most 5 steps).  Granted they did 'lower' the cost to $10,000 but imagine the billions that have been stolen and looted, now that the cupboard is going to be soon be bare, it's time to go after these crooks and get our money back.  Sadly no one is that naive, it's too late, your taxes are going up, spending is going up, no savings or cost efficiencies will be implemented at any level of government.
