Liberal elites are afraid Furey will expose the rot in Toronto city council
EDITOR’S NOTE: Anthony Furey was previously the managing editor and a columnist for True North.
With exactly one week to go until the municipal by-election and ahead in the polls, Anthony Furey is running hard in Don Valley West with the Liberal machine in hot pursuit.
The celebrated former Toronto Sun and True North columnist and editor registered for Toronto city council on July 22 and started canvassing on July 24. With the exception of two statutory holidays, he’s been out in this suburban Toronto riding — which stretches from the Don River in the south to Hwy 401 in the north —every day.
The riding was held provincially for nearly 20 years by Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne — until her policies decimated the party in the 2018 election — and municipally by Jaye Robinson, a centrist who lost her battle with cancer in May of this year.
Furey said he’s heard repeatedly at the doors “frustration with the state of City Hall and city politics.”
He said residents “know their money is being wasted,” especially when they see traffic and safety getting far worse.
Everyone he talks to is against the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square (to Sankofa Square), yet three-quarters of council voted for this $12-million exercise.
He said that shows how “backward the priorities are at City Hall.”
”They are not listening to the people,” he said.
Jack’s Note: I agree with Sue-Ann. I’ve followed Anthony for years in his writings for the Toronto Sun and it’s a certainty that if he is elected he will expose this squawking incompetent gaggle of NDP and Liberal geese for what they really are. That can only be a good thing for Toronto voters.
