Happily, John Tory will be his own traffic czar

Writer Marcus Gee records this morning that Mayor-Elect Tory is saying he will get right at the traffic problem as soon as he is officially in office. Tory told a NewsTalk1010 audience he expected people will see a difference in traffic soon. Let’s be positive and hope so but as Councillor Minan Wong says in the same column (and has said before) let’s not get too neurotic about traffic. Yes it’s annoying but it is also the evidence of our enormous prosperity. Whatever the result of his work on traffic Mr. Tory is to be applauded for not seeking resort in this matter to a “czar.” As we have come to know, this is a person employed at way too much money to do the job of the people who were elected to do the job.  Marcus Gee
