Rob Ford's Toronto

[drk]

Wow i downloaded the book. Not too far in and Im gobsmacked. And the author is Canadian.! Thanks great tip.

No problem. Since I found that research I've always thought it needed to be read much more widely. His supplement on the Tea Party is excellent as well.

Unsurprisingly, Flagg's numbers are incorrect.

Neil Flagg is apparently blogging for Levant's new site. His numbers are wrong. 2016 Gross op budget up just 2.7%.

Matt Elliott ‏@GraphicMatt 25m25 minutes ago
Flagg combines the gross operating budget AND the rate supported budget to get his 2015 numbers. Not a correct comparison.

Anyway, I hate to give that any attention, but worried someone might read it and think, "hey, maybe this is reality!"[/QUal

Not giving these clowns any critical attention led us to a ford administration. The media needs to shout about the inaccuracies this type of propaganda is based on. Thanks Matt.

Minnan-Wong jokes he's going to try to release the taxi item without debate. Weird, short silence. "We should be so lucky," he laughs.

Can we send DMW to Nunavut?

Aw, be kind, Vid. Nunavut has enough problems of its own.

FYI Twitter: Rob Ford arguing the public wants a leader that "deals with stuff as it comes down the pipe" #TOpoli

Interesting choice of words!

Interesting choice of words!

He knows what he's saying.

Plus 7.2 Billion!!

He knows what he's saying.

Yes, beyond the obvious, I think he really meant the backed up sewer that's his mouth. On a more serious note, I don't consider taxi licensing the most important municipal issue now or ever.

'Because I don't approve of how you dealt with the taxi licensing issue and also I just wanna die.'

Oh, so it's back to the War on the Car again, is it?!

And you're being racist against taxi drivers who don't know where they're going.

It seems that Flagg maintains his own little personal subforum on Reddit:

He has a lovely nickname for Kathleen Wynne.

EDIT: This is not the same person as Neil Flagg.

Good grief, I feel so much dumber having even glanced at that. And Mr. Flagg expects to be taken seriously about anything in life? I wouldn't even buy a sports poster from the guy.
