Toronto Mayor John Tory has outlined a doomsday scenario for his city if the federal and provincial governments don't step in to save the city financially. They have not yet committed to cover the estimated $1.5 billion dollar shortfall which causes the slashing of police, transit and library budgets and mass lay offs. The fire service would see a $23 million dollar cut, community services would see 61 centres close, causing a loss of 600,000 hours of recreation programs as well as library branch closures. Long term care would lose 1,320 beds.
If this should teach anybody anything it's to expect anything under capitalism.
