as mentioned above, the drive for low wage labour (which lessens the income tax base, increases the need for more social services and effectively stalls growth/upward mobility - a living wage? outrageous!) is the neoliberal concept. and, I believe GFL isn't even headquartered in Toronto - thus...

I'm thinking that they'll maybe try and get Chris Stockwell in again (after their failed attempt to get him Holydays seat). He hates, and knows nothing about, this city almost as much as them! I really liked when during the campaign to replace Holyday he was asked about the most important...

well, harbour 60 is the go-to place for conservative fundraisers etc... I recall MP, and former TPA head Lisa Raitt racking up quite an expensive taxpayer tab there (around $50,000) + other minor scandals. Harbour 60 is basically the Porter Airlines of steak houses - on federal/TPA land with...

an excellent example of the Fords "customer service excellence" and "respect for taxpayers". no itches left to scratch on these backs: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/fords-called-top-city-staff-to-spill-involving-client-of-family-business/article16050948/

the Warmington episode may fit your criteria - where Ford went off on him on the phone (not thinking that loyal Joe would go public with it) for not towing the line. his relationship with the media, or even his idea of what a relationship with the media is, is terrifying.* *I must add that I...

well, I'm not sure it will be all that effective since: a) nobody reads the post b) if they do (accidentally, or otherwise), a vast majority of readers give up on any conrad black article after a paragraph or two (unless, of course, it is conrad himself reading aloud to barbara as I'm sure...

interesting shot of Fords, ahemmm, "book" shelf. I see: 1) The Die Broke - pop-financial garbage that I'm sure Doug gave him and has never been opened 2) After September 11 - Reuters compilation I believe 3) NORR architects - designers of many a casino! (and, admittedly, other things such as...

well, he is the white Obama/Diana/Jesus/Kuwait. absolutely, folks.

and, I'll say again: I don't think the usual protests and tactics are working or helpful - they are alienating and hinder progress. that's all.

oh, and, one more thing: this isn't colonial India, East Berlin or Tahrir square. It's an average city in a functional, mature and democratic North America with a really crappy mayor. don't get too excited. How do we get rid of him? he has zero shame, so we know he won't leave and we don't...

did the battle of Seattle change anything? we shut it down! so? what did happen is that the globalization movement is stronger than ever, the police/security budgets and powers have ballooned in response, the lines are drawn, the discourse is destroyed and dumbed down and the "radical left" has...

no, no it doesn't. how many years and decades have we been employing the same old "tactics" (again the use of the protest language by the in-crowd - tactics, direct action, the spectacle etc...). did it work against Harris? nope. his reign ran its usual course and the Liberals have basically...

I have to chime in about the "cavalcade of boos" and savetoronto: don't do it. it's not the place for this sort of thing (a lovely family event) and only turns Ford into the martyr he wants to look like. the middle (which ford has lost already) will look on at this with disgust and maybe...

guys, relax. this is not the place for this... oh, wait, it's a message board. it is generally the place for this kind of off topic bickering. here's a new idea: let's not bog down this thread with it. ok?

I always find it interesting how when faced with allegations of many natures over the years the Fords either ignore them or brush/laugh them off easily EXCEPT when it's of a sexual nature - that seems to get them really angry, defensive and gets a straight up denial or legal threats immediately...

i've noticed drunk superman on twitter for years now and he always just struck me as a middle aged, suburban, super partisan conservative troll looking for attention. i think that's what he may be up to right now... having some fun with the wild speculation going on here and baiting people.

haha, thanks. and, yeah, the no capitilization thing bothers me as well... but, it's a bad habit and I just can't get past not liking the look of capitals in type - especially at the beginning of sentences. I do however capitalize names and places out of respect - or, conversely, in an attempt...

uh oh. looks like Ford is into "bath salts" now too.

the difference between those that self identify as left or right is that they are both all about themselves. wait, that's a similarity. the difference is how they dress and spend their leisure time.

I'm also having this problem as well! actually, just figured it out! disabling adblock for the page solved my problem - there are banner ads across the top that adblock lumps in with those controls. you can disable adblock for just the main page to access your account or for the whole site -...
