Something remarkable happened in the last 24 hours at City Hall. Against precedent, expectation, and circadian rhythms, hundreds of Torontonians stayed up last night, all night, to have their voices heard at City Hall. They did this knowing that the mayor, who was chairing the epic Executive Committee meeting about a long list of budget cuts the City is considering, wasn’t inclined to be convinced. They did this after the mayor’s brother, Councillor Doug Ford (Ward 2, Etobicoke North), proclaimed “Ford Nation is too busy working, paying taxes, creating jobs,” to come and depute at City Hall.
