Here is the live feed from Global (appears to be a bit clearer than the CP24 feed).

The Mayor is running late - just left city hall wearing his chain of office.

Is he ever on time?

No prob, bro. He probably had to stop to guzzle a mickey of vodka and smoke some crack.

michael thompson will be speaking before the mayor, not sure if he's introing him. Folks, this could get awkward #topoli

Update:

It's only awkward because Thompson is dealing with facts. He had to, you can't sweep a circus under the rug.

Oh man. Thompson isn't introducing him. He just made references to the mayor destroying TO's international reputation.

He started off benignly enough, but it escalated quickly.

With no AC at Casa Loma, I suppose Robbie will be melting. Then again, he probaply got pulled over for DUI. =)

Thompson is a very dull orator. Says "in fact" every 12 seconds and speaks in a monotone.

I'm about to tell the stuffed shirts at Casa Loma, I won't let the personal failings of 41 councillors drag our city down. #Toronto #TOpoli

Seriously I just said this exact same thing to a friend. Dude sounds like a fucking robot. And now that you've pointed out the "in fact" thing, I can't stop noticing it. What a dull man, his poor wife.

I'm sure she didn't marry him for his orating skills.
