Rob Ford's Toronto

[Adjei]

Hopefully more media outlets pick this up and expose these bigots for who they are. I doubt this will matter to Ford Nation though, most of them share the same bigoted views as the Fords which is why they like them.

One more media outlet noticing the outrage:

“I’m going to get the you-know-what kicked out of me. Tomorrow, I’ll be inundated by every media in the country saying I don’t like kids with autism,” he said.

Fixed that for Doug.

I just emailed his councillor_dford@toronto.ca account to tell him how much he and his brother disgust me. I'm sure that will accomplish nothing, but at the very least, it made me feel a little better, and will give his staff something to read on Tuesday.

I did the same. I also sent an email of support to Griffin Centre. Ironically the Griffin Centre got back to me to thank me for my support immediately, but still no reply from Doug. Customer service excellence!

I'm sure they're *so* happy to get dragged into the Ford shitstorm...

Though the money might help.

"If it comes down to it, I’ll buy the house myself and resell it.”

So, out of curiosity, I looked it up:

How do you by a house that is not for sale?

When it was Rob Ford some weeks ago, this guy was on tv telling us that his brother needs help but when it's these kids, they have ruined the community. Damn hypocrites. I can't wait for the day these fools have nothing to do with Toronto.

Me too. Donated, wrote to Porcupine Head.

The drug house that his brother was smoking cocaine in, has that destroyed the community?

Great idea! I just did that, as well.

The gist of my email was "how damaging were the many emergency vehicles parked outside of your brother's house due to the many 911 calls over the past several years?" I also offered the polite suggestion that they step out of politics and let the grown ups repair the damage they've caused.

Just donated. Better than just sitting here feeling inchoate rage after an attack on some of the city's most vulnerable citizens.

Same here. Doug Ford is a self-serving, bigotted ass.

 

[basic]

I emailed Doug as well.

Elliott Ross tweeted this:

@ElliottRoss6: Doug, #RobFord, wherever you are...crank up the volume! https://t.co/nn3mn0QfFy #TOpoli”.

This should be the Ford theme song
