Rob Ford's Toronto

[evvabeing]

Two cops are in Ford's office right now, the mayor will scrum in a few minutes. Another bullshit bomb threat?

so why were the cops there? because of mike tyson's visit?

and... are the media bugging the cops to get an update on their investigation into the bomb threat?

Re the return of Sober Coach: Maybe he's just trying to get paid. If memory serves, Rob has stiffed the help in the past. Dr. Chong, for example.

i didn't know what you were referring to / i had to look it up. in case others are in the same boat...

TTC subway study ran out of money, Gordon Chong and consultants still owed more than $100,000
First, they didn’t take Gordon Chong’s advice on how to pay for the Sheppard Subway. Now they won’t pay him.

Is the Tyson thing some kind of touchstone? Symbolic of Ford's relationship with or view of the Canadian black community in 2014?
Not happy, Rob. Not happy at all.

Ford received a threatening email, apparently.

What, the Toronto Star asking questions *again*?

Umm, I had not heard of this (not perfect, etc., etc., but I'm not surprised). Anyone else? http://www.amazon.ca/Mayor-Rob-Ford...?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=towhey

Awkward title, but it looks like they've taken a couple of kicks at it. Alternate title: Uncontrollable: My Life with Mayor Rob Ford

I'd be surprised if he drops out.

If he drops out completely, full stop resign, I'd be surprised too. But what I meant was switching lanes from merryl to councilor race. That, I wouldn't be as surprised.

I was just thinking earlier that Graeme has been pretty quiet since he called 2 of the rfmgers communists, but I see he's in full asshole mode today. Totally in with Warmington who it seems is putting a list together of all rfmg twitter people and now he's going after Domise.

Where do you see Warmington taking down RFMG names? Not that I'd put him past that, I just scrawled through as much of his twitter feed as I could stand and I don't see any evidence of it.

Someone else said it and volunteered her name to him. Let me check.

This is a must-read for Canadians voting in the mayoral election

Quite.

This was what happened:

Fortyfs was trying to explain civilly why she, as a Scarberian, thinks Ford's subway plans are dumb. Warmington suddenly asked her "what campaign" she was part of. Then Graeme swooped in to out her as part of RFMG at which point Warmington stopped engaging with her.

and unless i'm just having trouble finding them, mikey's original facebook page and his linkedin page are gone. deleted to hide discrepancies?

the facebook page i find now, if it is real / his, has him listed as a laurier student: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006443888393

Hrm. A friend is a professor at Laurier. I might have to ask if she can confirm.

 

[fishie]

Quite.

Yup, great timing (but hopefully it won't matter).
