Toronto: Canada's Pet Buffoon

The proboscis monkey
 (Nasalis larvatus)
or long-nosed monkey

Does Canada have a hairy pet?                    
How utterly silly can Toronto get?

Baboon, gorilla, or hairy monkey

Toronto's home to the political flunky!

At the thought of Rod Ford, the elites all cringed

Shuddered the thought of a mayoral crack binge

Picking white specks from off the carpet

Peeking out windows, and being a target

Goodness gracious they couldn't have that

Behind his back, they snickered, he's fat!

The paparazzi zoomed in, on his double chin

Monkey in coat runs 
loose at Toronto Ikea parking lot

Now they depict Doug Ford as his evil twin

No flame on a passing torch, is of little worth

A political version, of  scorched earth 

As for leadership, in Toronto there's a dearth

Harris' amalgamation, to a mutant, gave birth

A monstrosity of a city, a cesspool for greed

Foreign investors made its condo buyers bleed
                                                                             
If you say rent rates are out of control
Then city counsel has no virtues to extol
Create incentives for existing housing
If it's affordability that you're espousing
Lower property taxes on new landlords
Regulate rent amounts people can afford

Toronto condos: 
Mike
Harris responsible 
for building boom

To the rest of Canada, Toronto profess to be great 

Is John Tory's flip flopping a desirable trait?                                     

A Conservative mayor might just be a bad policy conveyor 

The loudest screamers on tax, are a danger to the tax payer 

Populism's like a political bowel movement
Dumping, provides a temporary improvement
Only to find you have stress and indigestion
It's single occupants in vehicles that creates traffic congestion

How do you solve Toronto's job problem?
Call it youth unemployment, or call it a Joblem
Start with retirement agreements and livable pension plans
Create jobs that have foreseeable life spans
Coveted job perpetuity is no employment driver
A system lacking movement requires more fiber

How do you justify a billion dollar police budget?                          
When crime stats improve, do police and media fudge it?
Police costs have "Toronto The Good" down on its knees
They're too busy profiling Blacks - hands in the air! Freeze!
Toronto the good, a safe place to live is great
With a cop on every corner it's more like a police state

Torontonians complain about the ol' (white) boys club

You know the ones with power, news media shoulder's rub
Toronto needs a real mayor, not another "friend" to the feds
Someone for which you can say, decency, she has a shred
Don't think friends of Ottawa will curry Toronto favor
A mayor who stands  her ground, adds political flavor
Voters rightly fear letting the wrong one in
Let's hope voter Sinophobia won't be colored by spin

Rising police budget draws 
few questions from councillors

"It eats up one-quarter of all 

property taxes collected 

by the City of Toronto"

Sinophobic policies
(such as the
 Chinese Exclusion
 Act, the Chinese
 Immigration Act
of 1923, anti-Chinese
 zoning laws and
 restrictive covenants,
 the policies of Richard
Seddon, and the
White Australia policy)
 and pronouncements
 on the "yellow peril"
were in evidence
 as late as the
mid-20th century
in the Australia,
United States,
Canada, and New Zealand.
