David Miller has kicked the maverick councillor who foiled his tax plan out of his Cabinet-like executive committee, a decision the Mayor's opponents say proves he will not tolerate dissent.What happened to the hug-a-bunny, concensus building, Toronto left of yore?
Critics of the Mayor say Mr. Ashton's departure suggests Mr. Miller prefers to surround himself with yes-men.
"He expects absolute and total obedience from his executive committee and this is a reflection of that expectation," said Councillor Case Ootes, who served as deputy mayor under Mel Lastman.
It's beginning to smell a little like Tehran.
