Toronto Mayor David Miller targets welfare rolls to explain Toronto's Budget Woes during the Garbage Strike

Mayor David Miller Garbage Strike News Conference June 22, 2009

To quote Mayor Miller "Because of the worldwide recession particularly because of welfare costs the city is not in a position to be generous. We have to create an affordable agreement.": The Toronto Tribune noticed Mayor Miller on at least three occasions on the same day referred to those on social assistance to explain the city's budget problems; thus there's no money for the garbage collectors. There was plenty for the cops, firemen and city councilors. Try living on $572 a month that's what someone on welfare has to do in the city of Toronto. They have enough problems they don't need people to blame them for the garbage strike thanks to the Mayor's comments.
