Yeah, I deleted my post because I (probably wrongly) assumed Johnny Au was trying to claim that Wikipedia was a haven for Ford Nation, which would be ironic since some claim that Wikipedia is the "liberal encyclopedia". And you're right, I should've said far-right wing instead of "conservative".

Definitely. At the same time, you see a lot of older people with families approaching Ford to take pics, and at his "Ford Fest" parties, etc. The woman who "almost ran Ford over" is young, but she has a kid. As a mother, you'd think she'd be less of a fan of a guy who admittedly drives drunk...

To be clear, I don't have anything against frat boys or college kids in general. I just think that it's part of the phenomenon where people like Ford because they'd love to have a beer with him, rather than his effectiveness as a leader. And if he's a bit rough around the edges, well, that's a...

I know a Ford supporter who is an incredibly nice person. Works in a unionized job, has a same-sex partner -- so not your stereotypical Ford Nation member. She actually thinks Rob Ford and his brother are idiots on a personal level (e.g. she laughed when I mentioned that the present themselves...

+1. I hate it when people conflate "political correctness" with "politeness". i.e. If someone (like Rob Ford) says something rude or offensive, there's certain people who will take any criticism of that statement as "evil political correctness", as if asking people to behave with decency is...

Ford already lied about a lot of things, such as the existence of the crack video. That doesn't stop commenters all over the internet (e.g. youtube, Toronto SUN, etc.) from gushing about how honest he is, and saying that they "don't care if he some problems with drugs or booze as long as he...

Honestly, I don't think it matters to his fans. The driver happily took a pic with Ford and did a gushing interview with CBC about Ford. (Here's the non-mobile version of the page you linked...

Just because it was presented that way in the article (not revealing the gender of the confidant before Morris' quote), doesn't mean it was presented that way to Dennis Morris. Doolittle obviously knows that the confidant is male: The article doesn't specify exactly what Morris is responding...

Here's the direct link, if anyone wants it (I had to use the search box to find it; CP24's site is horrible for making it so hard to get direct links): http://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=1057631

To be fair:

Royson James takes a look at Ford Nation. Great read: http://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2013/11/21/a_look_at_ford_nation_ford_haters_inc_and_the_rest_james.html

I'm sure his wish for a snap election is just as sincere as his desire for Blair to release the video, because, y'know, he'd really like to see what's on it.

Also, the request to release the video was denied -- for the time being.

No probs.

Doug Ford loves his false equivalencies: "Hash" = "marijuana" "Coke" = "marijuana" "Dealing for years" = "selling your buddy a joint" "Hard liquor" = "couple of pops"
