Rob Ford is going to speak in a bit. He's going to call for an early election.

Holy shit

Someone just dropped a grand on it. $4,035 to go.

He can call "for" one but he can't call one, although he thinks he can !!!

Crackstarter is almost at $196,000 now. Quite a jump from the early morning.

At some point, do aligning councillors contribute senior staff? Is that possible? It sounds like those that are left are all early 20s football oriented "kids".

I swear to god he shaved his head thinking he's eliminating the evidence of crack-smoking. If he shows up to this presser with no fingernails, we'll know for sure

We dont need his damn fingernails. We have video. We will see it. 100% guaranteed.

This is beyond stupid. If he thinks a demonstration of "Look, my core supporters still like me!", via an early election, will make everything go away - there's no word to describe his level of idiocy. Besides, if he steps down is he even allowed to run again?

The best line in regards to the hard core supporters I saw was that even Richard Nixon had a 25% support base at his resignation.

Does he have the authority to do this? I've always assumed this would be a Council decision.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Why do we need to call an early election, exactly? He still got a year and a half to go - who do he think he is, a premier or prime minister who can just "prorogue" council and avoid the tough questions?

TTM: He can't - need council approval.

AoD

Correct.

 

[MetroMan]

I just lost my source.

EDIT: No he's not dead. No he didn't get caught. He just lost his stream of information because of the recent resignations.

Holy shit. Holy fu*king shit. This is actually happening.

it seems RF is expected to speak soon about the resignations of two more staff today: His press secretary and deputy press secretary.

Resigned?
