I just emailed his councillor_dford@toronto.ca account to tell him how much he and his brother disgust me. I'm sure that will accomplish nothing, but at the very least, it made me feel a little better, and will give his staff something to read on Tuesday.

Yeah, that was kind of a glib answer. I think a better yet still simplified one is that it's simply easier to stay with the closed-minded perspectives you were raised with, and that many of those around you possess, and to rage over issues, than it is to open your mind, educate yourself, and...

I completely understand your opinion, as well. I think in a societal way, when we choose to immerse ourselves in company that might not share the same values as we do (as in online forums) there should be some tolerance for swearing. After all, no one forces us to participate. On the other hand...

I would guess that in the Ford's case, it boils down to lack of intellectual curiosity. They almost seems to pride themselves on not having knowledge of some things.

I raised my daughter the same way, and you are my hero

I'm in Ford's age group. I've had a home computer since 1993. I've had internet access since 1996. Operating systems were much less intuitive back then, and there weren't a ton of computer knowledgeable people to run to for help. So, you learned to fix issues yourself, by trial and error, or by...

I think you just described me. The belief that women, as a group, need to take to their fainting couch in the face of such language, is sexist. Personally, I could put a sailor on shore leave to shame, and often must edit myself professionally and socially, depending on the audience. I'm able...

He just seems...nuts. Well said.

She is apparently not so good with the words, either.

Call me cynical, but I think she only apologized because of the huge amount of criticism she received. I agree, the Ford kids and spouses should mainly be left out of this. But when an adult child makes an offensive and hypocritical public statement, they should be called on it, too. Now this...

I've been wondering the same thing. Bingo. That statement was disgusting, and I don't think she's deserving of my regard.

Funny, when I first read this, my mind went to places other than drugs (it wasn't pleasant - shudder). This question is like a Rorschach test for the anti-Ford UT community.

Thanks so much for posting. Lazy journalism is one of my pet peeves, and when you look for it, it's everywhere. Lol!!

Hahahaha!! Nice one!

I would love to hear a journalist's opinion of this sudden change in reporting.

Something is really unsettling about that story, and the closest I can come to putting a finger on it is that it brings Renata into it, to a degree that's never been done before. I have to wonder why she's suddenly off limits, when Toronto media had been fairly respectful of her status as a...

I don't. Most of them are new, and had a very good idea of what they were getting into. Or should have.

Is it weird that amidst the horror of the situation, the thought of cold McD's flying around while Ford is punching one of his loser friends (the mother abuser!!!) made me chuckle?

Sure, Doug. It's just that he has no one left, now that Wormy is engaged in some bizarre game of playing both sides.
