And that was right down from where my family and I were standing.

This was how CP24 reported on it, in the exact same spot where multiple people got taken away by the marshall for screaming. I'm glad to see that other media outlets covered the jeers. The more I think about the jeering the prouder I feel. Most people are not buying into this changed man crap, people are still very angry and the reactions were very visceral. His PR strategy so far as expected is going terribly. He was just smiling and walking along like the emperor with no clothes. This is going to get ugly.

Tomorrow we get the ten minute interview on cbc. I'd rather see an interview with shirtless jogger!

About Ford's "corset," it's common to wear one following gastric bypass surgery or lipo. Not that I can see a reputable surgeon doing either one on a patient who presents with a history of substance abuse, but the corsets are known for making people feel hot and sweaty, requiring frequent changes of clothing.

Seriously.

well, it did rain at one point in EY I think, so it may not all be sweat. (hope not; eeewww)

The skies opened up and poured literally the second Ford and his troglodytes stepped into the parade. That was rain not sweat, though not enough to clean the stench of the shit tornado from them.

Maybe Olivia Chow, John Tory, David Soknacki and Karen Stintz have something to learn from a shirtless jogger. If they could speak to the disgrace of Rob Ford with half this commitment they might exhibit some capacity to lead.

Both Fords are with matching Red shirts that compliment the banners.

Forcing him into clothes that don't fit is not a bright idea. And did Robbie roll up his sleeves to show off his guns? I think he might honestly believe that if it weren't for a few extra pounds he'd be a physical specimen. And judging by Doug's pants and their struggle with tensile strength rob isn't the only one in denial.

Well, well, well... they brought up political parties, there is the favourite cry of the CONservitive, along with a "union" involvement. I'm sure the Fords will attempt to put the same spin on the event in the days to come, and one or another of the other excuses to dismiss those who are vocal about their discontent with the Ford dogma.

The Fords have called for taxpayers to tell the councillors what they want, to show them what democracy is... I guess non-scripted "events" are not what they want, unlike the apartment visits that they can control the message and responses.

Watched a video clip on CTV on Rob Ford at a Canada Day parade. I had to shake my head when I saw an elderly lady gush over Rob, praising him. Almost expected her to genuflect before Rob and kiss his feet. Looks like Ford Nation is still alive and kicking (at those who oppose him).

I don't know...most of the people who were marching with him today look like they were collected from a local group home. Who are these crazy ass fetal alcohol mofos? Folks, this is not a nation, its a handful of rogue wastrels who don't know gravy from gravol.

Why stoop to the Ford level of ignorance? You can't tell a single thing about these people by how they look. Question their political judgment, yes. But looking at them and calling them "fetal alcohol mofos" and "rogue wastrels" is repugnant.

Edit: not to mention, the fact that somebody resides in a group home does not make them any less intelligent or deserving of an opinion.

Could not resist...

Beautiful! Thanks for the link!

 

[Acrossthewater]

Is he wearing an ab suit / some kind of a corset?

Colostomy bag???

He's had an enema, top to bottom!

Well, to be honest, those two factors together make a fairly convincing case. And how about the guy on the far left with the green hat. Quite a motley crew you have to admit.

Pretty sure they don't have group homes for the intelligent.

I don't think Ford changing his shirts a few times is a big deal. It's hot outside. If I could change shirts while out, I would.

That is true, just as the type of shirt, size and colour are used for the demographics of an area.
