Crime Stoppers and everyone should be deeply concerned about the young green mayor/lawyer that spends what little money the city ‘doesn’t have’ like a drunken sailor on frivolous dreams, like burning 13 mil on an unwanted downtown plaza and reviving long dead Queen Street with tens of millions more and wanting to buy himself expensive trinkets on our dime. Sounds an awful lot like Trudeau, he should resign in shame as well.
