Rob Ford's Toronto

[PinkLucy]

So what happens now?

Business as usual of course. Moving forward. Forgetting (not learning from) the past. Running the city, saving the taxpayers money.

So what happens now?

I can't even remember everything that happened today...

I guess this is what they call being in a shitstorm

 

[TheTigerMaster]

I wonder what happened with those resignations that MetroMan was talking about.

I got no sympathy for his sob speech now. People just laughed at him when he said god bless toronto

It's like when the US president says god bless you and god bless America after every speech. Just another example of our piece of shit mayor importing american style politics into Toronto.

 

[mr. grieves]

No, it was because of the Vice story. Vice contacted the Fords for comment before they ran it, so they knew it was going to come out.

I don't think so. He made his statement at almost the same moment that the judge ruled that the wiretap info could be released.

So much action today, I assume this has already been posted but I don't remember seeing it on here.

I noticed in the ITO the cops mentioned a notebook. Too much blacked out around it to figure out where the notebook came from or who it belonged to. The notebook has bills listed for the Windsor Rd. house. Rob was either paying the bills because he's a good guy, or maybe he was being black mailed.

Ford should really look at the demographics of Toronto and Canada in general. "God bless _____" may fly in America, but in Canada it will get you laughed out the room (as we saw today).

The faces of today say it all.

Incidentally, that's the first time I've ever seen a staffer accompany Ford in his car while leaving work. Must have been a bit of an awkward drive.

Or the Ford's in some conflagration own the house....maybe through Doug's holding company...who knows.

Almost a quarter of Ontario's population has no religious affiliation, according to the latest census.

No religious affiliation is the fastest growing group in Toronto, in Ontario, and in Canada. Rob Ford should realize that.

Staffer must have been all like, "sure ya don't want me to drive, boss?"

Whoever came up with Ford RESIGnation - that's a keeper!

And last but not least, another female UT-er here

 

[eyewonder]

When does his driver start?

Also, did anyone hear hotmail lawyer on 1010 being completely unprofessional?

 

[kbdid]

Who's the scruffy blonde guy who was out helping set up for the conference? Just curious.

Jado - another one of us females - I suspect there are many more than what you can tell from user names.

Re Ford...I have yet to catch up on the past hour, had Doug said anything?
