Rob Ford's Toronto

[Tulse]

Is Doug's motion even in order? I thought the meeting had to deal directly with the motion the special meeting was called for.

Sorry if this has been answered, but where is Nunziata? This is crazy that RoFo is presiding over this.

And there weren't supposed to be any new motions discussed. I know they are deferring them but still.

...and video. Brace yourselves.

she kind of pats him on the chest as if to say in a motherly way "settle down"

she should have feigned a f*cking heart attack!

I think the Fords know they are done politically now. Maybe this is now just adding more plot, for the future made for TV movie.

Or it will be the focus of their upcoming "reality" TV show. Which is where this is all likely leading anyway.

She was going to ask a question - and with the deputy speaker not there - the Mayor assumes the role of speaker

Does anyone have any further info in relation to his driver having his lanyard/ID taken away? That's a huge WTF.

MetroMan?! Anyone?

Damn good question

Where the hell is she?

A couple of Ford Nayshun types are posting responses at the Youtube link. Here's my fave:

The stands are stuffed with city union and special interest troughers invited by these communist councillors that are trying to seize control of the city's cash. I'm surprised Rob has remained calm for as long as he has. Pam was not the target. Stop with the he 'attacked her' crap.

One or two others are repeating variations on this pablum, but thankfully, most of the people posting reactions aren't buying it or letting Fat Boy off the hook. And that's the main point: Even if McConnell wasn't Ford's intended target, slamming into someone like a Mexican wrestler is still a big no-no in polite society, no? Physical assualt is still physical assault even if the victim wasn't the intended target.

McConnnell's head was less than a foot away from hitting the desk.

The fact that Rob is chairing this while Nunziata is on a pee break is mind-boggling.

John Parker is at a TTC meeting.

But wouldn't she just go down when she asked her question and then go back up? She has been away since before Mammo's motion.

 

[basic]

She's back now.

More like a smoke break.
