yeah you're right, I avoid the SUN like the plague. Think it was yesterday on the cover they had a that Magnotta killer on the cover and some cheesy horror movie headline like "Nothing will prepare you for the horror." Ugh, made me so angry, glorifying a killer with a cover like that, like it's all some Hollywood thriller. I only go into "enemy territory" as much as I absolutely have to, but I find some people seem to like wallowing in it, digging up more and more stuff to infuriate themselves, even though it doesn't contribute to one's knowledge of the subject, just heaps bile upon bile. That stuff will shorten your lifespan, why infuriate yourself? I never go to read that IHTWOMRF page, yet I'm never truly shocked by what people post here from their visits there -- I expect the worst.
it's not only about damaging credibility -- I feel like we are amplifying the BS through repetition. I keep seeing a sarcastic "Because CANCER!" after so many election related tweets and in articles' comments section. We who are sarcastically saying that are actually saying it more than any of the Fords or Ford supporters (yes, I'm aware Doug Ford accused John Tory of attacking Rob in his hospital bed) who would say it without sarcasm! It doesn't matter that our repetition is sarcastic -- it's still adding to that narrative.
The terms used to be only 2 years. The councillors lobbied Queen's Park to extend the term, claiming it wasn't long enought to accomplish anything.
