^ methinks you've outlined key scenarios that the FraudNation assholes have vignetted in their strategies. It's up to a really strong contender to be ready to counter these things. We are being played, right now, and I wonder what percentage of the other voters know that. You know what -- I...
I find myself preoccupied with trying to figure what's gone so wrong inside DuhFo's brain. After returning from a walk to Eaton Centre, I caught myself visualizing what would occur if the damned goof were to go for a stroll downtown on a gorgeous day such as this (say just about anywhere...
I imagine that the Fords think they're clever. What I think is this: that Toronto voters are as of today motivated to turn out hugely in favour of Tory on Oct. 27th.
The press will have a great time with this campaign. G&M will rekindle allegations that DuhFo was a drug dealer. The other...
I think this is the most divisive and upsetting mayoral race in a long long time. The Fords, and their supporters, have opened up a huge chasm. We need, ultimately, a mayor who can effect some cooling off, and then some healing. This is just plain gross, and actually very un-Toronto. I will...
I respectfully ask why some people (a) consider Tory a bigot and a racist, and (b) consider Tory to be potentially a very poor administrator. I am asking this sincerely -- I need to know, because at present he has my vote. All along I've had the impression that he is a decent fellow with good...
I detest the hypocrisy. The man appears to be a racist, a homophobe, a bigot, a liar, a misogynist, and a crack addict with criminal associations -- with or without a cancerous tumour. He is also a man who has done a massive disservice to Toronto.
Michael Gee's column today (in G&G) is pretty nicely written if you are a Tory supporter. Plus, the writing is designed to get under RoFo's very ample skin. The thrust of the ink is "Can Tory sustain the momentum?" with a side of "what a nice problem to have".
At this point I love anything...
Re: RoFo's subway proposals (Sheppard and Finch???!!!, at no cost to voters, and throw in the DRL too, lowball prices):
Even though this should be Ford's final insult to intelligent types, there is probably more drivel to come from him during the campaign. I can't count how many ways RoFo's...
Not necessary, really, and once again preachy (at the very best). And a straw man to boot, wrt "French Quarter".
Queen between Bay and Osgoode is an absolute mess and the citizens of this city deserve a better civic block. Some old farts adjudicated the look of the hotel, the dumb and useless...
I love what's going on in the evolution of the design. Like some of the other posters here, I'm hoping for a novel cladding material.
How about a re-cladding of the POW theatre. It's in dire need of something that will coordinate well with these towers / podiums. I know, dreaming.
This site is perfect for something designed by Snohetta, or Jean Nouvel. The New City Hall architecture is begging for something sympa'. It's not gonna happen, though, given the nature of the land rental agreements in place. It's really too bad. And again, terrible terrible use of the...
^ And so there you have it. With less than two months to go, Rob Ford has succeeded again, now better than ever, in bringing the worms out of the woodwork, real good. Fab accomplishment, no?
I can't figure what on earth Rob Ford's supporters feel they have accomplished with their 'us...
What a lovely thought, de-amalgamation. Amalgamation was not democratically achieved here in Toronto. Mike Harris forced it upon as as we voted 72% against it. And what a spectacularly bad outcome, now, as enormous divisions are exposed with nary a clever mediator in sight.
De-amalgamation...
