Rob Ford has no idea what he is doing. Stop cutting the stuff that actually helps kids.

Fix the budget elsewhere. Leave the youth programs alone.

Total disaster if these services vanish. Bad move for the city.

These programs kept me out of trouble when I was a teenager. Toronto needs this funding protected.
