I'm not an expert in Muni politics by any stretch, so these are just my impressions but it seems to me Toronto city government is a waste, compared to Montreal, Chicago, Boston and many other places where they get things done.
I'm sick of hearing Miller whine about the Island Airport because it "jeopardizes" the waterfront. Miller, have you been down to the waterfront lately? You and your predecesors have done nothing to promote the waterfront other than whine about the airport and the Docks. Do something about it (like stop building condo after condo and tear down the Gardiner and evict all those squatters on the Islands - heh) or shut the hell up!
Montreal builds Metro stop after Metro stop, redeveloped the waterfront and continues to do so. What sort of major infrastructure has a Toronto mayor initiated? Even Lastman, our cannibal fearing former mayor, started the whole Sheppard to Don Mills extension while in office as North York mayor. Hazel does amazing work in Mississauga.
