Possibly a good start for Tory... (no doubt Rob is at the hospital drafting a bedside statement to take the actual credit)

Although it would be a political win for Tory, flatlined police budget looks like the work of police board, chief. A gift for incoming mayor.

Tory—who is not even in office—going cup in hand to Blair for political favours is further proof they were much more than just golfing buddies. The authors of Rob Ford's epitaph don't even have a shred of honour and dignity to wait for the paint to dry before bringing cronyism and nepotism back to City Hall after its long 4 year vacation in the wilderness. Attacking and destroying a man and his legacy while he is down is pure crass opportunism. No respect for a fellow man. Just in time to hide under the cover of Jian too. How convenient, Kevin Donovan. Why not cover the real news? Bread and circuses, bread and circuses.

I am kind of new here, but you sound like a Ford apologist/enabler.

His legacy? Of what? Making Toronto the joke on international news? Utter ineptness in governance? Improper hirings and use of staff/city resources? Criminal behaviour? Consorting with criminals? Inability to address structural issues facing the city? Some legacy. And one should talk about nepotism considering how the family conducted themselves during this election, with respect to the various candidacies for public office. And let's not even talk about how Price got hired on the public dime, to the tune of 100K/a, on his "loyalty".

Yes, bread and circuses in the form of a ferris wheel and a NFL stadium. Priorities, you know.

On a lighter note, I suppose JT is in a better position to comment on anti-Semitism:

And unlike Karla, this one got proof.

Someone should have told JT that he is Jewish. He could have used it in the debates :)

I wonder if his grandma and Karla's grandma hung out together ...

I wounder if Tory, I dunno, talked to him? It is probably more effective than getting a family member to publicly attack him.

Except that they both kept it under wraps in order to fit in with WASP Toronto society... ;)

Interesting... the 1921 census has Howard Bacon (1900) living at 69 Metcalfe St (Parliament and Carlton area) with mom , dad, brother, sister and grandfather while Helen Solomon is with mom, dad and four brothers (1909) living at 46 Seaton St
