Rob Ford's Toronto

[euler]

I want Di Giorgio to narrate the rest of Rob Ford's term, to be honest.

"I don't know where the hell he went" - awesome. I want more of that.

Absolutely. I don't cringe easily, but that one made me cringe.

As tempting as it sometimes is, I've always tried to resist commenting on other men's wives because nothing good can ever come of it.

But it does remind me of the old toast among male friends, "Here's to our wives and sweethearts. May they never meet."

Ya, that one made me laugh, and this guy has a position of great responsibility. But it's not entirely his fault, practice allows Robbie to reach high velocities.

Rob's been to a place of bliss he can never revisit. To get all Norm Kelly on you.

I've heard it said that happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.

I wonder if Di Giorgio made it back to city hall last night before Goldsbie and Dale got there. I don't think they saw anyone else, other than a security guard.

I've parked my own car there many times over the years. The garage is completely separate ( as most garages are ). So, assuming the councillor ( unlike the mayor ) simply went straight to his car from ACC and on to his next event, it's unlikely they would have seen him.

I just asked what they were doing in reference to stuff in ito and if it related to gay rumours. Not sure if they still do this.

Too cold to party outside, gotta wait a few weeks man

Well, our shirts were navy blue. But, I would say that doing good work is the most fun you will ever have in your entire life.

I don't believe our mayor will ever truly enjoy his job until he learns to embrace the self-discipline it requires.

For what it's worth, the City Hall garage is arguably the cheapest place to park in the centre of downtown.

Missing in Action

For the other candidates, now is definitely the time to introduce the "Being Mayor of the 4th largest city in North America is a 24/7 job and I'm ready for that" talking point.

Here is a heartfelt and concerned letter to the Mayor. Could become a letter writing campaign.

City employees didn't used to have to pay. That included Metro Hall and the civic centres. Right when I was retiring five years ago there was a big fuss about Revenue Canada deciding it was a Taxable Benefit.

"Councillors cry foul — with rival Joe Pantalone calling Rob Ford a “snitch†— as CRA deems even occasional parking a taxable benefit, payable retroactively."

I wish I could get a job that allows me to drink, do substances, club, and act child like during work hours, and keep getting paid.

 

[kensingtoncat]

Snitch was a unfortunately stupid thing to say, but at least Joe was right about this. I already had my benignly hazy picture of him spoiled up thread when it turned out he was a lobbyist for Muzik
