  8. “It’s not a “job” per se, but there is some compensation attached”
    No $#!^ Sherlock !
    Barb Hall, Bob Rae, Adam Giambroni, Dave Miller…
    You can never un-elect these Rosedale parasite blue blood sucking worms.

  16. This parasite belongs in jail, IMHO.
    Miller announced he wasn’t running 1 year ago, and has basically been AWOL. Now we know what he had that London, UK office for – to stage his next job on Toronto taxpayers dime!
    This is fraud, send this man to jail along with Smitherman, who blew ONE BILLION of Ontario taxpayers dollars. They can be cellmates.
    WHERE THE HELL IS THE OPP?????
    Miller blew/misappropriated/stole millions of Toronto tax dollars on cockamamie schemes. What a whackjob.

  17. Saw your altered headline Kate and thought, “No way they hired that moron…..”
    Lo and behold!

  18. Lori, The OPP is up at Caledonia ignoring all manner of crimes by the Native insurgency. No time to be prosecuting political crimes. Of course if he had been a white CONSERVATIVE male he would have been chased to the ends of the earth to toss him in the slam.

  20. Is there no one with any common sense anymore or is that the socialist have really taken over almost everything?
    No doubt Miller will help the World Bank fix Ireland’s financial woes just like he fixed Toronto’s.

  22. The world bank is a ridiculous 3rd world charity and development organization. It would probably be a good fit for both of them. Either way both are unimportant.

  23. grok:
    And what are his financial and/or economic qualifications?
    He’s a socialist, and from ‘Haavard’.
    And not even 6 degrees of seperation between him and Uncle Moe.

  24. Millar says Toronto has an incredible reputation.
    Incredible? Incredible in what way?
    Incredible too are what they’re letting into the banking business these days.

  25. Not so crazy if the Whirled Bank needs to know (a) how to funnel as much cash as possible to public service unions (b) how to kill business by levying outrageous business taxes (c) how to waste vast amounts of resources by ensuring that vehicles sit idling on clogged roads (d) how to condition common folk to the sweet smell of rotting garbage (e) etc. (f) etc. …

  27. M @ 12:33 is right on the money. The World Bank runs a close parallel with the United Nations, providing a home for people who would otherwise not be able to find gainful employment. I watched them in “action” when the company I was working for attempted to develop a project in a third world country. The government of that country had to go to the World Bank to pay for their “share”, so the World Bank sent a party of investigators over to see what it was we were doing. Their method of investigation was to find every plausible reason to shut us down completely and forever, and having exhausted that avenue, they dreamed up a series of ever more implausible reasons. Worst of all was the sociologist, a man with an instantly recognizable name in the realms of Canadian Upper Society. In no way shape or form was he ever going to allow anyone poorer than himself to ever risk becoming successful.
    Mr Miller will fit in perfectly.

  28. This is tragic; so many of you just don’t get it. Don’t you understand yet? This useless appendage is gone, vamoosed, vaporized from Toronto politics. And the local ratepayers aren’t even on the dime for some stupid appointment as so many former Toronto mayors have received (come on down, Barbara Hall).
    This is a day of joy and celebration. Everyone should be singing, “Ding dong the witch is dead”. Miller has gone off to screw up an already thoroughly disfunctional international institution that is pretty much under the thumb of the US. And if he’s really lucky, he could still be there when the next Republican administration appoints the new chief. How do you think Miller would get along with someone like Paul Wolfowitz? (This is the stuff of which schadenfreude dreams are made of.} He’s barely likely to survive Robert Zoelick.
    This is a total win-win. Toronto loses this idiot at no future cost to the taxpayer, and Miller’s brilliance could well be the death-knell of any real action by the WB. Please remember everyone, David Miller has the inverse Midas syndrome. Whatever institution he touches is inevitably the worse for it. You WANT him to go to someplace like WB.
    It’s the one good thing about international institutions. We were far better off with Mo Strong helping to ruin the UN than continuing to wreck Canadian electric utilities. Would you rather have had Stephen Lewis as Premier of Ontario or doing some meaningless UN thing? If we’re really, really lucky, we may get the UN et.al. to take a bunch more useless political dregs off our hands. As Koko said in the Mikado, “I’ve got a little list.”

  30. And what are his financial and/or economic qualifications?

    Irrelevant! In the realm of today’s progressive-statist economics, credentials don’t matter. Let me re-phrase that: they are weapons of mass destruction.
    Check out the bearded gnome Ben B’s credentials. They are pure gold — orders of magnitude better than Alan Greenback’s. Both are disasters and would he hanging by their heels in the public square, if the public had a clue.
    This is why I always chuckle quietly when someone here expresses frustration about Harper ‘cos he should know better, being an economist and all (notwithstanding that he’s not actually a economist, not that there’s anything wrong with that).

  32. Posted on yesterday’s Reader Tips:
    David Miller to advise World Bank on cities, environment
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/david-miller-to-advise-world-bank-on-cities-environment/article1808853/
    Why am I singularly not surprised that this guy isn’t going to get a real job? More sucking off the public teat is true to form.
    So, what kind of “advice” can David Miller give to anyone re cities and the environment, after the dystopian Toronto landscape he’s left in his wake?
    What a poseur. ‘Amazing how far you can go being a blond, blue-eyed, private school refugee.

  33. These people seem to be like a case of genital herpes — we can sometimes control the symptoms, but we can never be completely rid of them. They keep popping up.

  36. What a surprise. A Dipper not setting up his own business (even a consulting firm of some type let alone a business that employs blue collar workers), or even running a union or the like but instead looking for International money in line, no doubt, just behind Ed Broadbent and Stephen Lewis.

  41. When he heads out of the country next?
    Would someone please cancel his Canadian papers as soon as he leaves Canadian airspace?

  42. The picture of Miller looks like he is out collecting wallets full of taxpayer cash, and nobody is driving on the road he is on because they can’t afford to anymore…
