FWIW, it's interesting that Ford's public appearances on Saturday appear to be his most "incident-free" yet post-rehab--or at least, we're not hearing through the grapevine about booing or shirtless protesters hogging the energy. It's like the "happy selfie Ford" of old--unless somebody can report otherwise...

The campaign failed just about as hard as it possibly could from Monday to Friday. Not easy to extend a streak like that from 5 days to 6.

The people organizing the festival put up a pic on twitter of him and some dancers and thanked him for going. When people left comments condemning them for doing so, the picture and tweet were removed.

Irony, Oh Irony!
My partner and I had an hour to kill between seeing 12 Angry Men at Soulpepper (a bit dated, but still excellently played and relevant) and meeting my nephew and his fiancee for dinner at Weezie's (King, one block east of Parliament, worth the trip). So we wandered west on King and found a cute little patio in the afternoon shade on Ontario St. ("Mangia e Bevi") and had a beer. We'll go back for the dinner menu, it looked great. Directly across from us was the entrance to a 1940's building with a gorgeous Art Deco bas relief sculpture over the entrance. Alas, the entrance itself was a pair of glass doors etched with the "S(t)un" newspaper logo.
But here's the punchline: the bas relief sculpture included the motto "Labour, Cooperation, Science", so I googled that on my smartass phone. Turns out that the S(t)un newspaper that has so loyally and unquestioningly licked the anus of our drug-addicted ass-clown nightmayor and his (presumed former) drug-dealing brother is head-quartered in a building that was built to house the offices of...
wait for it....
the "Drug Trading Company."
I am not making this up.
(srsly, go to Soulpepper and Weezie's. you won't regret it. No commercial interest in either enterprise, just a happy customer

As for me, well I just came back from some revelling on Church St. with my squeeze, had a much better time than any of those Ford lovin' fucking goofs had, fer shuuur.

Comment from the poster:
And then there's this one that I will post without comment:
There are a veritable ton of photos of him on instagram right now, it's kind of disgusting.

this.
doug and dianne can have a free pass, as far as i'm concerned, and wander into rob's office any time they like. but silverstein has literally no function at city hall. he's not a city employee. his only function is on the ford campaign, so if they need to meet they can meet at the campaign office.
it's a cut-and-dried conflict, to me. if i lived in TO i'd be complaining to the comish on this one.

Karen Stintz has written a piece for today's Star. The gist is that she spoke with Doug after Rob went to rehab, and told Doug she didn't want a public apology, she wanted Rob to call her personally. Of course he didn't and this is what she has to say now: "I have no interest in taking his call. Like every person in this city, I don't need spineless, pre-scripted, speech-written, rip-and-read, I'll take no questions, vacuous words."

Maybe it's just me.
But is there any candidates showing Shirtless Joe level of pushback?
Doug looks like an even bigger creep and a-hole to me in that Star article.
While I agree with the sentiment, I doubt that bullies of Ford's caliber respect or even understand the 'I'm bored of your antics, I'm above such disdainful behaviours, scolding finger wag'.
From what I've seen so far, kindness, politeness, benefit of the doubt = weakness, you're a sucker, to Rofo and Dofo.

Yesterday, Stintz was at city hall with a security guard escorting her. That's pretty sad but another byproduct of the Ford mayoralty.

Was the security guard because she feared getting accosted by Fofam, is that the take on it?
And re Rob's office-as-second-family home: It is egregious for Doug to walk in there whenever he wants, and his tendency to do so needs to be officially followed up on for sure. The repeated appearance of DiFo is mystifying. What a campaign team, good lord.
