Rob Ford's Toronto

[Oriana]

Jenny Yuen ‏@SunReporterYuen 30s

Will be on @CP24 after noon to speak to @StephenLeDrew about LeeAnne McRobb and #RobFord. #TOpoli

I alerted Jenny to the Escalade sightings on the dirt road near Greenestone, which she apparently didn't know about. Wonder if she'll talk about it???

I assume he's referring to his campaign team

In my mind, this is proof positive that he thinks he can ride this whole thing out and it will all blow over---think about that for a second.

We need a photoshop of the Mayor wearing the chain of office in the bathtub STAT.

And I bet there are no protestors there. RFMG folks? Any chance you could take your signs outside and just quietly display them? Otherwise, Ford will have two straight media events without opposition. That makes a story.

Or photoshop the chain onto him in the GS pool shot. I wish I had the time to learn how do PS properly.

I am guessing that the poster is a female Toronto Paramedic.

It doesn't seem to be quiet, lots of shouting.

How did she not know about that? I guess that's why she didn't ask McRobble about it. Gah, so frustrating!

Honest question: In all of Doug's endless scrumming, do any reporters ever ask him questions about his own ward and his work as a councillor? As in, "Can you name one thing that you've done?"

Shouters are still shouting and drowning out - at least from here - speakers continuing on stage.

There were people outside at Hillcrest. And I am sure there will be for the Pan Am thing as well.
But Toronto is very apathetic (and that includes East York Pickles!)
I helped to organize the demo after RoFo admitted he used crack last Nov. And we still only got out about a thousand or so.
The fact that people are protesting at all, or that RFMG has been going for over 140 days is HUGE.
