Rob Ford's Toronto

[Lucinda]

I suspect that today marks the day the Fords finally internalized that it's really over and have now shifted into "last reel of Scarface" mode.

The rest of Ford Nation seems to have been given that memo as well. This is truly vile.

UTers with knowledge of the law -- is this a threat?

I think ThoughtArcade must be joking.



Not sure about DoFo, RoFo sure was.

Doug most assuredly was including calling out the quebec rocks....and fantasized about starting a rock business....

Ironic that his FB avatar is the CSIS logo.

Thanks, it's hard for me to keep track of who said what these days - hence RoDoFo.

yep, he is against the whole idea of Waterfront Toronto; wants development of the waterfront handed over to the private sector

However... that isn't to say he can't make a backroom deal. He can tell the supplier "hey I have to say that this is gravy, etc. because that's the kind of talk our base likes. But Rob and I are just one vote each on council so if it passes, we'll definitely hook you up."

actually, if you search twitter it looks like #SL is just a generic indexing tag that all CBC reporters use to track their stuff.

When CBC reporters use #SL, it gets posted on their ScribbleLive twitter stream on their websites. (see cbc.ca/toronto)

 

[ThoughtArcade]

Nope, wasn't joking. Don't ask me to explain it, just relaying the message.

Do I realize it makes no sense? Yep. Yep I do.

That one is one of the best ones yet.

It's from a previous year. The Caribbean Carnival launch was 2 days ago, July 8, and this pic is from this year (note different suit/tie)

Tory, Chow and Soknacki were also at the launch event this year.

good. thanks!

I wonder how Harper would have approved something this radioactive.

Anyways, twitterverse is suggesting something "enjoyable" in the news by tomorrow. We shall see.

There's a strike looming at the Bombardier plant in Thunder Bay (subway cars, streetcars & GO trains) but that's probably just a coincidence.

Calling all shirtless hordes...

Minister of Finance Joe Oliver having a presser with Mayor Rob Ford tomorrow at #TTC's Hillcrest Complex.

I wonder what on Earth this could be. Hillcrest means streetcars, mostly. And Lord knows RoFo wants nothing to do with those--and the feds aren't involved in the order for new vehicles anyway. Perhaps being used as a venue for an announcement on buses or something else unrelated to Hillcrest's primary function?

Whose idea was it to do a protest with pink umbrellas?
Perfect opportunity tomorrow at Hillcrest.

Nice to see IHTWORF members bickering and turning on each other, but uh, wow ... 'Let's not get violent unless somebody hurts Rob or Doug'. At least they have standards.

We're gonna find out where you live, Rick Rattew ... and discover that it's entirely outside Toronto.

 

[pattycakes]

Surprise, the Fords are knee deep in pink umbrellas.
