Re: Doug seeking the coronation of an OPC leadership bestowed on his ever so humble and folksy head. Fobros to me ran on a variation of country mouse vs city mouse, suburb blue collar real folks vs downtown urban core white collar elitist. With Rob and Doug playing the role of champeen and...

Rob's feelings on the matter seems more visceral. Doug's seems more casual cynical, though I don't believe for a second Doug is actually a friend to the people he claims he represents, or gives voice to. If Rob would sulk over pride parade, Doug may claim FoBros should go. But I doubt for any...

All quite true, though handing a DM position over to Ford out of sympathy IMO would be a huge mistake for Tory. Not that I'm worrying -too much- that JT is taking advice from Joe Worms. But I do agree with you on the point that it could be a bit tricky for Tory. He can't be seen as...

Sure, at least that's my best edumacated guess on how it works in Rob's mind, if the last 4 years was any guide. He can be both leader (of a horde of one) of her majesty's municipal opposition (something he already has experience with as a natural contrarian, and hinted at strongly during his...

Rob would probably consider that a promotion from just a MINO. DM, is practically the same as Mayor. Heck, maybe higher. Tory can go out to those pride parade he loves so much, while the real men like Rob do the real work. You know yelling at potholes, drunk calling constituents between 2-3...

Who would be the other 2, Doug and Mikey? Doug and David Price? Rob, Doug, and Mammo? Oh Worms, you're a hell of a humorist.

It is rather cruel. I have no real problem with Mikey's vocal characteristic, maybe slightly curious on why it seems to differ slightly from Ford Fest to now, but that maybe a technical recording issue. But I agree, it has no real bearing on the merit or lack of merit of him winning school...

This is from E. Keenan's article in the Star today, no online link yet. It's something worth reading IMO, and one excerpt in particular. " Tory takes first steps on 'divided city'." Have to say that I found the part about lack of trust to be true when I talk to people, and can't say I...

Maybe Doug thinks he can change OPC elitists minds, by showing he has the needed % of TO votes for the OPC. And if that isn't enticing enough, how about a nice crisp 20$ bill? Donation of 5 thou to the OPC party coffers? Discount for label, tags, and fridge magnets? How about carrying bags...

You mean a donation of a park bench to the Douglas B. Ford Park so Doug can sit there and feed the pigeons or something? Sure why not. Pass the hat around, I got a jar of pennies I am willing to generously and humbly donate to the cause.

Hmm, if Doug does run, there is a chance at more hilarity. (Cribbed and modified from "Dumb and Dumber") Doug: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a provincial party like me... ending up together? OPC: Well, Doug, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...

Yep. It is a bit strange that at least from the brief ford fest clip I remembered, Mikey seemed to have no problem saying 'hello thanks for attending ford fest' etc. The other clips of him sounds different. But otherwise, I don't have a problem with his speech pattern or how he sounds...

But Mammo promised us prostitoot island! Ok back to more serious mode, it is an intriguing possibility I admit, but what are the realistic chance of a party system officially happening at the municipal level? Ranked ballot has a very good possibility of happening in 2018 AFAIK, but that seemed...

Well written and I agree FWIW. While there is always the nutbar kooks who can't be reasoned with, and IMO no it's not a sole monopoly of the right wing either. It takes all kinds to make the world go round, and believing that a perfect utopia can be achieved if just somehow everyone thinks and...

Strongly agreed on almost all, except for one point that isn't quite a disagreement. More like, tell me your take on whether the pros outweighs the cons on it. I've pondered it too, but I'm somewhat wary about it, but I'm not adverse to changing my stance on the matter. That is party...

I would not be surprised if Rob wants to play the Official Royal Loyal Mayor In Opposition. Doesn't matter if the title doesn't exist, he will conjure it out of thin air. Ie: Director of Logistics.

Same here. Call it petty, vindictive, maybe asking too much of the universe which at least granted a small mercy of Doug not being mayor on Monday night. But IMO one of the most damaging things Rob has done to the city, among many, is the absolute I'M DA MAYOR, SO EFF YOU he gives to law and...

Too soon? Well at least the city can soothe itself at the thought of Doug might not completely leave TO for Chicago. Doug is now co-councilor for ward 2 and co-trustee in Ward 1 after all. Huh? Why are you making that face? I'm trying to cheer you up. :p Ok for realsies now. Rob won...

What?! The system is functioning perfectly. Step 1. Decide to be born into the Ford Family. Step 2. Obey loyally and without question the Ford Orders. Step 3. If last name is not Ford, change it to Ford. Step 4. Don't speak unless told to by a higher Ford, see step 2. Step 5. Win...

Yep, I was hoping for more of a crushing loss for Doug, but I'm satisfied enough with this. Yep again. I was very surprised with Domise low numbers. Rob sounds like he will act as the self appointed opposition to Mayor JTory. Look forward to Rob whining " But Joooohn...when -I- was...
