Let's play the Take a Rob Ford quote, and totally blow it up and take it out of context: “It’s embarrassing ... I organize (the pool) and I take a bath,” Ford said at that time. Source: http://www.torontosun.com/2012/09/24/ford-loses-at-football-pool-filion

More bad news for Ford: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/cityhallpolitics/article/1262903--ford-s-office-asked-province-about-money-for-football-field Doesn't he have anyone on his staff that isn't afraid to stand up to him, and tell him "this is a bad idea"?

I feel they are just flaunting their family's wealth. It's like "See, we are so rich, we can pay for my employer's operating expenses!"

Interesting photo of Rob Ford: All alone, standing in the light, what's he thinking???

I suppose one would have to be dumb to work for Rob Ford, right?

I don't think they mean it would be identical to the Rideau Canal, but more so in spirit, i.e a skating trail. It is marketing fluff, though. The article does mention that the facilities will be used for Swimming, Tennis, volleyball, rollerblading, bike racing etc in the summer - so I don't...

Gravy Train Alert! Why is Rob Ford going to the Hockey Hall of Fame to meet two American actors and give them a special gift? Waste of tax payer money. We don't pay Rob Ford to spend his time at a tourist attraction hobnobbing with celebrities. Where is the respect for tax payers?

Well, it looks like the same builder wants to construct a 2,749 ft tower in 90 days at a cost of 628 million dollars. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/20/sky-city-one-chinese-comp_n_1613521.html

Apologize??? Rob Ford complained to the operator's supervisor. I think Rob Ford expects an apology.

Perhaps they did cut funding, and it is privately funded now, but the parade is still on for 2012: https://wx.toronto.ca/festevents.nsf/6ebcc33d2ccbf97385257300006256ba/573e0fcac8baca4b852579ff0069af58?OpenDocument

Doesn't the city of Toronto already organize Canada Day events? Mel Lastman Square, East York Parade.... I suppose the Fords would have already known that if they actually spent a Canada Day weekend in the city.

It goes to show what a hard deadline can do, and a far more critical customer base - teenage girls.

Now, by "certain cultures" you mean that mobsters, gangsters, biker gangs, and organized crime instill violent tendencies into their members, right?

Oh, I guess Rob Ford took my comment to heart and decided to vote against accepting $350,000 of free money from the federal government for gang crime prevention. I suppose he doesn't want to look like he accepts free handouts...

Can the city force private businesses to give away a product for free? Since when are we entitled to free plastic bags? Oh, Rob Ford, why do you want hand-outs? You commie-pinko socialist!

There is a shopping centre across the street.

How will the residents access the townhomes?

The tactics used by the police was for who's security and protection? From what I remember, the area near the summit was a ghost town, and the police let rioters destroy property. So who were they protecting?

What I have noticed is that the Fords make a statement to the media that may or may not be truthful. The media reports it, and Ford Nation believes it to be gospel. Later, the media does some investigation, and find that the Fords lied, or told a half-truth. The media reports this, but the Fords...

The Reliance and Canderel advertisements on the balconies surely aren't permanent, right? If it is acceptable at the construction phase, why not during the occupancy phase? This concerns me. I have had enough of advertisements everywhere!
