Dear Mayor Ford,
It is with great concern for our wonderful city that I am
writing this open letter to you.
I listened to your response today about the allegations that
have been made about your possible substance abuse and was very disappointed
with your public statement. While you addressed the crack cocaine issues,
you completely avoided the broader issue of possible substance abuse, or other
personal issues, that may be of concern to the citizens of Toronto. These
are concerns not only raised by the media, but also by members of your council
and your inner circle.
You, as the Mayor, should be representing our city in a
professional and positive manner. You are not doing this by being
evasive. You are only creating more questions, and in doing so, are doing
a great disservice to our city.
Further to this point, you have not been representing us,
your constituents, in a positive manner for quite some time. You always
look completely dishevelled and often look like you have had too much to drink,
or have some other problem that creates that appearance.
There is no excuse for a person in your position of importance
to not be well dressed, and to present themselves in best light, when publicly
representing the city of Toronto.
You are a person of reasonable wealth, so there is no excuse
for you to not have clothing that fits properly and looks good. Quite frankly,
your public appearance is a disgrace.
If you want to continue to represent our city it should be
your duty to ‘clean up your act’ both in the way you look and in the way that
you behave.
I am proud of Toronto, but I am not proud of the Mayor, neither
the ways he looks nor the way he behaves.
Your obligation should be to clean up your act, or quit!
Sincerely,
Armand Gilks

Well, we are finally heading into summer and the "spring" market is in full force. It's a good market in that there are a lot of buyers looking, but we still have a shortage of available homes in the more affordable price ranges. Sales activity was stronger in April than earlier in the year as you will see in the numbers below.
