Whatever Happened To Respecting Your Elders?

“When seniors get a lower fare, who’s picking that up? You? Me?”

Toronto City Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby on her reasoning for voting against "studying" a discount TTC fare proposal for low income seniors.

When I was a child I was taught to honor my elders, to offer them seats, to help them cross the road, to offer to carry their bags...and I sure as shit have no problem paying a few extra dollars to help them get where they need to.

We should be outraged that a person like this can make such a statement and be considered fit for public office. I've had enough of the selfish, short-sighted, mean-spirited and dis-honorable people that populate City Hall.

She's a councillor in Etobicoke (I'm starting to think there's something in the water out there) and she needs to go.
