My mother told me that the Mandarin edition of OMNI News had a poll with regards to Rob Ford's resignation. Guess how many people wanted him to resign? 15%.

I'd be happy to review it, but I think step one is the media getting away from the schizophrenic cycle they're trapped in right now. Wilner's article is a very good first step. People (Ford Nation) need to realize their beloved hero is in grave danger of dropping dead soon. His behaviour fits that of an addict, and his enablers and codependents are doing everything they can to maintain status quo. That type of message can wrestle control away from Doug Ford.Great points; could I ask you to review the site and send me revisions to make it more appealing to Ford Nation members?www.savetoronto.ca / info@savetoronto.ca

Yeah, and I wonder how many of said mandarin speakers will skin their kids alive if they are caught, gawd forbid, smoking dope...

That is exactly what I thought. Double standards indeed.

I'll go through the site and make the key message: "He needs to step down for his own health and to recoup"

That's why we need visual evidence. The video has a good chance of coming out before the election. Put it on replay on OMNI TV for weeks on end and see how many people regardless of their language or understanding of politics disown the guy.

I can't believe all the new sites popping up, in regard to Ford. Now you can text bomb Ford too.

That's way too touchy-feely - he need to step down not because it is good for him, he needs to step down because it is good for the city.

Nope, what they need are key members of the community calling his behaviour BS, unacceptable and contrary to their own values.

True.
My mother also told me that much of those viewers live in Scarborough and approve of him, regardless of his personal life. She told me that she cares about me and does not care about Rob Ford's personal life, as she bore me, not Rob Ford.
If I were caught smoking crack cocaine, my mother would either have the police arrest me, or if the police kept me free, give me enough crack cocaine to kill me.
Fortunately, I don't smoke crack cocaine and I disagree with my mother with regards to Rob Ford.
Olivia Chow should appear on both the Mandarin and the Cantonese editions of OMNI News to call him out.

There's a toronto sun reporter on twitter who is trying to get a hold of an organizer. Did anyone reach out to her?

I provided her the email address I set up a few hours ago: info@savetoronto.ca (she hasn't emailed me yet)

Honestly the best thing is for this video to come out in 8/9 months, not now ... as Fords wants (i.e. assuming he knows it'll be out some time or another the sooner the better for him) ... if it comes out now there's time to forgot about it. Delay till much closer to the election, its a different story ...

It was indeed I who put that site together. I didn't want to be seen as using MetroMan's thread to promote my own site. However, I see that it's been mentioned. So, if people are interested, we're doing a bit of a "Wikipedia by invitation" thing in an attempt to piece together all the various bits of information from this case.
