Subway Station: Karen Stintz

Rob Ford Dept: What did you expect, citizens? Did you really think Mayor Rob Ford was going to keep his promise of giving you a subway station a block from every house, Paris-style? If so, why? Expand on that, according to The Star. And you d cheer him, wouldn t you and when I read that the wonderful Karen Stintz, chair of the TTC, endured jeers, boos and insults at a Scarborough public meeting on Thursday night because she was unable to sculpt a subway extension out of a cup of mud, some old hair and $12 in dimes, I shake my head. Subways! Subways! the crowd chanted. Seriously. Why are you mugging Stintz, not Ford? If Ford had showed up, he d tell you that your subway is already headed eastward. What else would you expect?
