    Rob Ford's Toronto

    If I were Rob Ford I would be pinching myself really hard every few minutes to make sure the approval ratings weren't a hallucination of my intoxicated mind. Consider everything that he has done and he has a 45% approval rating. Let that sink in for a minute. Forty. Five. Percent. Rob Ford is...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Didn't someone's sources claim that Rob Ford was bound to be arrested right around Thanksgiving? This is starting to be like watching a cult leader convince his flock that the rapture is going to happen in a few days time and getting them to disregard all the other times he said the end was nigh.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Ford should be pilloried for his actions and not his weight. Most people who oppose Ford probably wouldn't slam a politician they liked for being obese. His choice of cheap suits are fair game since we should expect public officials to appear presentable and wearing clean and well-tailored...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Maybe, but I doubt if the reporter who broke the crack story was a guy who looked like Rex Murphy or Jeffrey Simpson anyone would feel compelled to comment on their appearance and/or let us know they want to jump that man's bones. Some of the comments about Doolittle's appearance were downright...

    We can only speculate what Doug Ford's relationship with his daughters is like. I don't think a father complimenting his daughter's appearance is in any way sexist. I don't know what Doug's kids look like (other than Krista) but he would probably say the same thing even if they didn't meet the...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    What's your point? Doug is most likely a male chauvinist but many if not most parents have at some time referred to their children as their handsome/beautiful son(s)/daughter(s) or will single out some positive attribute without mentioning all of them.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The fact that you can't really criticize someone for suggesting more resources be allocated to nabbing sexual predators was probably the extent of his thought process. I doubt he really thought the money could magically be diverted to some line item for "catching child molesters" He just doesn't...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    So? Doug's brother's main opponent in 2010 was someone who didn't finish grade 10. I can think of myriad reason to dislike Rob and Doug but the fact that they haven't completed any post-secondary education or that Doug referred to his wife and 4 "beautiful daughters" (good grief some people...

    Peter Kent on climate change 30 years ago http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/environment/climate-change/turning-up-the-heat-four-decades-of-climate-change/the-greenhouse-effect-and-planet-earth.html Very different from the tune he sings today

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    This is the kind of attitude that will play right into Rob Ford's victim narrative. I admit to really knowing nothing about D. Ford Sr. other than the fact he was a one-term Tory backbencher in provincial parliament. We don't hold parents responsible for the screw-ups of their adult children and...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Other than "Gino boy" (ironic considering many of Rob's closest friends are of Italian ancestry) and "Orientals"-work-like-dogs which I think he meant as a compliment in his own weird way has Rob Ford really ever said anything that would suggest he's racist? If anything he probably has a big...

    OT: Was Renata born in Canada? We've all seen that picture of Renata with that babushka headgear that someone posted yesterday. I think I read somewhere that she met Rob in high school, is this true? She's so mysterious and nobody seems to know the slightest about her.

    Target

    I've been to different Target locations 3 or 4 times since their first Canadian openings and have yet to spend a dime. I felt underwhelmed by their selection and their price points. I was last in one of their stores on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet, I wonder if they'll be...

    I wouldn't say Ford's goose is cooked even if the video surfaces. Many in Ford Nation will still support him and he'll probably pick up votes from people who'll get on his bandwagon out of spite.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    100% BS And on another note anyone thinking that writing to the Solicitor General or Attorney General is going to get you anything other than a "Thank you for your letter" from one of their staffers is kidding themselves.

    Target

    Many retailers in the US have policies of carding everyone for booze and cigarettes. I noticed at Macs there are signs stating that everyone purchasing cigarettes must show ID and there's even a recorded announcement when the clerk scans cigarettes however they use common-sense and don't...

    Canadian Tire

    I look at Costco for small appliances. I might not find what I'm looking for but if I do I know Costco stands behind what they sell (unlike CT and their draconian return policies) and Costco doesn't sell returned or damaged goods. It seems an unusual number of the boxes on the shelves at...

    Canadian Tire

    How about building stores where you don't have to squeeze past customers in the checkout line to ask the cashier on duty to buzz the gate to let you get out of their firetrap of a store?
