Somewhat balancing out my disappointment in last night’s municipal elections, we have the entertainingly bitter reactions from the right-wing Toronto Sun to the city voting in a left-wing mayor and heavily left-wing city council:
- Christina Blizzard: “And welcome back to the People’s Republic of Toronto. Yep, here we are, along with that bastion of enlightenment — Cuba — the last outpost of socialism in an otherwise relatively enlightened Western world.”
- Joe Warmington: “The Marxist leanings of so many councillors is a huge concern.”
- Sue-Ann Levy: “[T]he same fawning Birkenstock-attired crowd who flocked to his victory party last night”, “slick socialist with the gift of the gab”, and “16 like-minded minions (including environentalist-lite Gord Perks in Ward 14) to City Hall to prop up the NDP agenda.”
- And, in the main editorial: “Don’t say we didn’t warn you.”
Losers. Nyah nyah.
Fear not. A return to non-political content and mature discourse is imminent.
