Great. The t-shirts are made in Haiti and cost $30 each. How much of that goes to the Haitian worker I wonder?

let's not pretend you don't have anything made in a third world country.... that computer you're typing on, that desk?


But.... no pics?! lol.. I'd be curious

The article notes that Doug Ford said "Especially since you’re going to get a twenty-some-odd rebate".

Hang on ... you can get the 75% city tax rebate for buying a shirt?

Rob Ford is using city taxpayers money to subsidise his shirt? That's $22.50 of our money for each shirt!

With his waste, waste, waste, stop the gravy train BS he thinks this is acceptable? How is this any different than councillors spending their budget?

The hypocrisy is shocking!

Why does Rob Ford have no respect for the taxpayers?

When possible, no, I don't buy goods made in third world countries. My computer was manufactured in the US (it's a Dell and is a couple of years old -- they now manufacture in Ireland). The desk was made in Northern Ontario.

Probably just as much as every other shirt sold in this country made in China, Korea, Taiwan, India and Bangladesh...Come-on get a grip.

^Your computer was assembled in the US or Ireland. 95% of the parts come from China, Taiwan, etc. I know the drill. And btw, they treat their Irish and American (manufacturing) workers like crap, you know?

Is it okay to eat gravy in my Rob Ford gravy train shirt.

 

[urbandreamer]

^Only if it's from one of those chip wagons in front of Mayor Ford's city hall!

Sure, as long as it's okay to snort Cocaine and shoot Heroin while wearing your Smitherman Tie, why not?

 

[GraphicMatt]

Can I wear my gravy train shirt with a Smitherman tie and then dine on a delicious mash-up of city hall chip wagon gravy and cocaine and heroin.

 

[urbandreamer]

Yes, but only if you're homeless c.2011 and sleep on a NPS bench. (When all those RF tees hit the local charities....)

 

[GraphicMatt]

That's it, then. Screw law school I've got my life plan in place.

Hey, what about smoking that joint and getting smashed out of your head! If you're gonna go on a binge, go all the way. And what does all this prove? Nobody is perfect, especially our 2 front runners, so why go there.

I avoid shopping at Wal-Mart myself, because of their labour practices and their buying cheap goods overseas, sacrificing Canadian labour. Just because something is cheap, does not mean we should buy it.
