And the media doesn't understand how petty they can be and how these are NOT real issues important to governing Toronto. Look at his track record on policy, not talking on the phone.

He has a record on policy? Like what, promising not to cut services, guaranteed? You are definitely right that we should look at track records.
Attacked on the driveway? Please, spare us the drama. Wonder what his bud Don Cherry would have to say about that.

Done. Case closed. Now get over yourselves CBC.
More like get over yourself Rob Ford. It's still he said/she said.

The more I think about it, maybe Rob Ford or his handlers set up the CBC:
Leak a fake story that he verbally abused the dispatchers, then come clean that he did swear when talking to them, but did not abuse them. Since the police won't release the tapes, there is no way to prove otherwise.
Now at the end of the day, CBC has egg on their face and is discredited. As for Rob Ford, well, this is how he usually acts, so yeah.

1) Vehicle registration tax scrapped
2) TTC made essential service
3) Garbage privatized
4) Run the city with money that's there instead of taking the easy way out and raising taxes
Of course, if you loved the vehicle registration tax, unpredictable TTC strikes leaving you stranded, having to drop your garabage off in dumps in public parks and tax hikes every year then I guess Rob Ford is a disaster.

I dunno....what these kind of incidents reveal about his character do reflect on his ability to govern.
We do...and that's even more depressing.
I think we need to stop and cringe at his utter buffoonery sometimes, to take our minds off some of the more serious damage he is actually doing to the city we love.

Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Taking $60 million off revenues with no idea how to make up for it. Real smart.
Which will most assuredly lead to a huge arbitrated wage settlement for union members over the next couple of months.
In one part of the city.
So far, he's run the city off more than $300 million left over in surplus dollars and other new revenues by the Miller administration. Let's see how he does going into 2012, now that he's blown through all that cash.
Property taxes need to be "hiked" every year to keep pace with inflationary pressures. To not do so is irresponsible.

1) While you are X million in the hole, supposedly
2) With the understanding that essential service designation translates into higher premiums
3) With a what, potentially 9 year contract with unknown outcomes
4) We'll see just how the mayor will balance this year's budget - using last year's surplus.
I suppose if you like your bus getting even more packed, less transit service, a police budget cut that was really a raise and public parks and public areas looking more like a dump, then yeah, Rob Ford is a disaster.

Funny that's exactly what Republicans said about Clinton when he was having his affair.
History has shown Clinton was a great two term president, but Republicans were all, "Character, character, character"
Funny to see the left playing that card now.

LOL, comparing Rob Ford to Bill Clinton? I think you should be comparing him to Richard Nixon instead. Giving a BJ is a private matter that one shouldn't have asked any questions about unless it's an issue around the abuse of power; abusing a member of the public service is a publie one.
