Interesting. Would this be the first time ever that Canada's seen Mobil stations?
Pretty sure they were visible in Western Canada at one time ...

Hey ... blame Miller for Ford.
No being cozy ... or giving off the appearance you're beholden to (wildcat/garbage strike) ... Toronto's powerful (pushed back under Ford and Tory) unions ...
... no Ford.

Fun fact - the name Esso was created after the monopoly breakup of Standard Oil. The US government wouldn't let them go with a play on SO's initials, which is why the rest of the world is Esso but the US switched to Exxon.Loblaws is also selling its gas stations to the same business. See link.
Good grief, just when I forgot we had a Councillor Ford, and he has a "Chief of Staff":
“He wants to make sure that this is being looked at in a wholesome light,” said Dan Jacobs, Ford’s chief of staff. "

They don't name the motorist but my guess is "Randy".

And yet whenever it goes moribund, you come along to post in it again saying how terrible the thread is.
Thanks ... I read it.
I'll ask again ... What. Does. It. Have. To. Do. With. Toronto?
Do you lot not see how ridiculous this thread is?
You weirdos are like Louise Mensch ... *everything* comes back/is about the Russians (Rob Ford).
People seem to forget that Miller *did* push back against the garbage union, hence the overwhelming scent of garbage juice that was the city of Toronto that summer.
Public pressure is what caused him to settle. And the same people who complained about not having their garbage picked up, chided Miller for caving on the union. Is anyone surprised he chose not to run again?
