Rob Ford's Toronto

[PinkLucy]

Layton's my councillor, he didn't sign either. Could also be they don't want to be perceived as Ford's 'lefty enemies' any more than they already are.

I thought I heard Layton's name in there?

 

[John_Dee]

Maybe he doesn't think it goes far enough, and wants the petition to fully resign rather than take an LOA.

Maybe, but this is the best he (and the rest of us) can probably hope for at the moment. Vaughan should have signed the damn thing.

Well, at least 30 of them did, but yes, it should have been more. I'm in agreement with those of you who are absolutely disgusted at our timorous council and their political game playing while an out-of-control, wild-eyed lunatic runs rampage.

And we're not alone. Warren Kinsella is quoting a new Ipsos Reid poll this morning at his site. If accurate, it's proof that the vast majority of the city want to be rid of our imbecile sociopath of a Mayor:

My councilor Perks didn't sign either. That pisses me off.

Here we go!

 

[someMidTowner]

Of course my councillor didnt sign.....dammit Stintz.

 

[requiem]

Oh! You're all right about Layton. Somehow I didn't hear his name.

 

[James_D]

Mammoliti is such a total plug.

So no Perks, Layton, or Stintz. Three of the most consistent critics not on the list.

 

[PinkLucy]

Can Rob Ford vote on the motion about him??? Is it a conflict of interest? City Solicitor says it's up to the Integrity Commissioner. There may not be a pecuniary interest.

 

[RC8]

Why a leave of absence? Do I get to take a leave of absence from my work after I've been found out to hang out with drugs and arms traffickers during working hours? After denying it for 6 months?

Accountability, please. This is the guy who wants to fire people based on a picture of them apparently sleeping at their desk. "No excuses".

God, council are a bunch of spineless idiots.

 

[basic]

Ford vs Nunziata while Mammo blathered on...I wonder what was said?

 

[M.R.Victor]

It seems ford nation uses articles and opinion pieces such as this one from the National Post to argue that Rob Ford has done a good job at running the city.

Is there an article out there that impartially analyzes Ford's performance and concludes that he has, beyond a shadow of a doubt, been a disaster in terms of governance? I'm not talking opinion, but cold hard numbers to show what he has and hasn't done?

 

[PinkLucy]

There they go .... and that's Minnan-Wong being blocked by Ford. DMW asking for an apology, Dougie being told to sit down
