“Secession may be a wholly unrealistic concept but the growing animosity many Torontonians have towards people from the suburbs, aka the 416, and those who hail from the 905 isn’t, writes Emma Teitel.”

The only hate I ever hear comes from those living outside of Toronto, so this story is an absolute joke.

Throughout the past week since FordNation’s announcement, it’s been absolute nastiness on social media from people who don’t understand or have a clue as to why Toronto has a Council the size that it does, and how it’s not unusual.

Frankly speaking, I would have preferred… no, scratch that, applauded, if #DoFo had decided to impose term limits. A progressive city needs to have people who are constantly thinking ahead, and not just about the next election. Too many past due Councillors who just take up space and contribute nothing new.
