Ugh - poor housekeeping. Not good for any industrial firm, especially if you're a printing company. Not traditionally one of the more environmentally-friendly businesses.

FoFam and the environment, eh? RoFo comes by his low score honestly.
(RoFo and honestly in the same sentence? That's NQR... )

According to Jackie Crandles, Dan Jacobs sent an email to every councillor today from Rob Ford inviting them to an "informal" meeting in his office on Monday afternoon, because he feels an "important part of resuming his duties" is "hearing directly from them". The email blathered on about Ford wanting to work collaboratively and constructively with them upon his return...

Ugh.

Nobody is going to accept this. Also, who is working Monday? Everyone I know is off for 4 days and he bloody well knows this. It's just another chance to show what a victim he is, he will turn it around and say nobody accepted his invitation even though he reached out. Everything he does is so calculated yet transparent for people who have functioning brains.

Edit: Oh yeah, it's from 4:30 to 6:00. For realz.

The Rob Ford of Burnaby

Wrong answer, Mr. Mayor

Dear Editor:

Re: Mayor disputes driving ticket, Burnaby NOW, June 25.

I think it is pathetic that Mayor Derek Corrigan is taking the blustery, attack mode in his response to the ticket he received for distracted driving. Has he learned nothing from the Rob Ford fiasco?

The correct response would have been to admit it, apologize and make a statement about how destructive the practice can be. Instead, he gives the impression that he believes that he is above the law, that the law doesn't apply to him. The Rob Ford of Burnaby.

What kind of impression does this leave with the people who will be voting for mayor in the next municipal election?

Gordon Foy, Burnaby

OMG save your job by sleeping with patrons. I mean come on guys. It's easy just start having sex at work. Derp...

Did anyone see "We're the Millers"?

Todd - Strip Club Owner: I want you to start having sex with the customers for money.

Rose O'Reilly: What? That's totally illegal, Todd!

Todd - Strip Club Owner: Come on, what are you gonna do? Besides, I gotta stay competitive with those fuckers who just opened up across the street.

Rose O'Reilly: You mean the Apple Store?

Todd - Strip Club Owner: Yeah, and they're killing us.

In the case of populist Louisiana governor Huey Long, get shot and killed. Keep the legend alive, and all that.

"Thank God and Huey Long."

Speaking of political assassination, I believe the Mayor may get a TPS security detail. Whether he likes it or not. At least for the next four months while emotions in "Crazy Town" are running high.

 

[Lamport Davenport]

Yikes, casita! First Lisi, then Jerry, now the TPS. Scream if you wanna go faster.
Well, they'll make first-rate sobriety coaches. One hit and you're busted.
Alternately, if Giroux's ready for the king hit, TPS won't have far to travel.

 

[hper]

Gotta wonder how Mammo/Lambrinos/AEAC. et/al would react if, say, Remington's were the first to say, "Good Idea. let's do this.", making the first of these proposed 'brothels' out of the gate homocentric.

And what's with Mammo's fixation on prostitution (other than being a political practitioner, of course.)?

Well, ya see, it's like this...*clears throat*...Bob Deluce, inspired by muzik's example of appropriating Toronto's public resources, has conceived an evil scheme to locate a brothel/strip joint with convenient access by private jet on Hanlan's Point, which will necessitate Mamms motioning to prohibit nudity on the beach, to protect the kids.

Agreement Reached with Private Sector to Restore Historic Terminal A Building at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

The TPA is shocked to discover this is a business model it has already committed to, while committed to redacting from FOIA requests information that would impact the business interests of it's commercial suppliers.

Will it have floral prints everywhere? A tasteful rub 'n' tug, like?

ETA: Heck, if a Sarah Richardson interior works at Billy Bishop, why not take it to Remington's too? A fabulous equal opportunity! Brothels don't have to be sordid, like Mamms.

Edit: Just saw this on the I hate the war on Rob Ford fb page:

Starting to hear rumours that the City Hall press gallery is conspiring to boycott Mayor Ford's return press conference Monday afternoon at 3pm.

I hope there is truth to this!

That would be just so great. I'm not on Twitter, however if I was, I would be spreading this idea around... unless someone is already doing it.

Cos Licursi Rob Ford = ratings. Cp24 has realized without Rob they have no viewers. The last two months halve hurt their bottom line. You will see a shift in reporting from them. Rob also has to start using the human rights board to protect himself from being discriminated against due to his addiction problem. He can take city hall and any news reporters to the board if they jeopardize his job due to his illness.

Arthur Weinreb I guess they think the press conference is less newsworthy that Ford's car sitting in an impound lot in Muskoka. Pathetic.

Laura Turner-Lawrynowicz The press acts like little babies. Everyone wants to hear from Rob Ford. If the press wants to play little high school games then someone else will get the story.

We can dream, but this will not happen. For one thing, that sad excuse for a "news" outlet, CP24, will be unable to stay away. Ford is ratings crack to them. And any news editor, even if they're smart enough to realize it's 100% certain that nothing substantive or newsworthy will come from this stunt, wouldn't want to miss out the slim possibility of some kind of policy announcement (hahaha), meltdown, Budd Dwyer incident, etc.

Also, the crap corporate media in this town is pretty cowed by the possible accusation that they're "bias" against FoFam, on a "witch hunt," etc.

No doubt that brainiac from the Ford-fan page saw the same tweet you quoted, and just ran with it.
