Ford has also promised to extend Bloor-Danforth to Scarborough Centre though and has the support of the Federal Finance Minister on his side.

You simply do not get it that this has nothing to do with whether I think Ford's the best person for the job, but everything to do with how terribly David Miller and his deputy has turned this city for the worse IMO, and how detrimental George Smitherman has been to the Province of Ontario. If...

Now we both know that the source of the allegation that he was using in 2001 isn't exactly credible, but still I have my doubts as to whether Smitherman stopped as cold turkey as he has claimed. But your quote there now makes me question whether Smitherman is even psychologically fit to be our...

Wow indeed. The polling numbers are just not in working in other candidates' favour. They have had months to define who they are but the populace is not buying in. The Ford supporters have definitely decided and are strong in their support and are determined to show up at the poles to cast their...

I agree with you. It's better to have commuters endure a short bus feeder (or 10-15 minute walk) to their nearest subway stop than to have the alignment meander wildly in a bid to connect every dot on the map. Queen/Wellington is my preferred alignment: Queen through Parkdale and Riverdale...

That's the biggest blunder TC makes, especially when one checks out the Sheppard, Finch and Eglinton corridors on Goggle Earth. Aerial photos reveal where in many cases a side-of-roadway trench could be squeezed in (or along a separate guideway in Finch's case). Well, at least Ansem might...

What perdicament? Isn't this what was said after the "Fat Fuck" video surfaced? The Dieter Doneit-Henderson incident? The G20 support of the police force remarks? The alledged assualt of a football player? The chicken-suit taunts? The Reverend Brereton endorsement? The Rob Ford's blog/Ford on...

Dirt that endears Ford to the armchair commentators sitting at home watching as the media tries to destroy him. Democracy in its truest sense allows for even an "unpopular" sentiment to be given airtime. One has nothing to lose by voting for Ford because his opponents have blown every...

Yes. I like my politicians to have minor personality flaws, but when it comes to the big stuff will put the best interests of the majority of Torontonians first and foremost. In a CTV poll that asked that asked "Are you offended by Rob Ford's comments about immigration?" 86% VOTED NO...

Indeed, because taxes and user fees affect us all.

nfitz, if you had any proof don't you think I would've been banned awhile ago now? Please stop slandering me, you have been warned. I don't know why we're expected to treat every soundbyte the media documents about RF as absolute truisms, ones that don't allow for him to extrapolate upon his...

Like OMG, you are so full of it! Didn't Adam Giambrone, Chairman of the TTC and former Mayoral candidate, stiff the taxpayer for $5k in taxis last year just to travel over a couple city blocks paralleling the subway? Where's your condemnation and outrage over that? Keep deluding yourself...

I think it is apparent to everyone except you that Transit City will operate through mixed traffic, will have to cross intersections at grade, will require pedestrians to cross the roadway often by means of jaywalking in order to get platfrom waiting areas as opposed to say a bus pulling up...

Earth to nfitz, just what do you think going's to happen once the Transit City light rail system is rolled out and starts haemorrhaging away funds? Transit City is supposed to increase ridership by 75 million but there's no cash for the $70 million to $80 million operating costs the project will...

As opposed to John McCain? Surely Obama's more open to the idea of gay marriage than that guy. Attempts to put labels on my political views only displays the ignorance of my opponents.

^^ You're so inconsistent. I thought Pantalone was your guy, but then you praise Smitherman and hope for Tory to enter. Was it you suggesting that Adam Vaughan should make a bid as well? To you, I guess anyone who isn't Rob Ford is Mayor material.

Check my post history, it's true. Back in February I was one of the few on here endorsing Sarah Thomson. I never gave Rossi the time of day however because of his extreme views on bike lanes and selling Toronto Hydro. Don't think that just because Rob Ford's message of municipal reform has won...

But those things already exist, residents had prior knowledge of what to expect when they moved in. None of the above involves proposing to steamroll new infrastructure through stable neighbourhoods.

Prove it, otherwise shut up. There's a whole leap in logic from saying "they work like dogs" to depicting human beings as panda bears. I find what Smitherman did to be far more offensive, and no, I am not excusing Ford's comments. This again is the illusion of salience at play; and you've...

You mean to tell me that you are not aware of the health risks associated with living with proximity of wind turbines, not to mention a blight to an otherwise picturesque lakeshore? The only BS brewing is that Smitherfraud is even a serious contender for Mayor. I'd rather have a do-nothing for...
