Rob Ford's Toronto

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Rob rarely misses an opportunity to show up, pose for pictures and say how great something is, even if he voted against it or didn't bother to show up for the vote. It's more about the publicity and the gladhanding.

No kidding - case in point - Union Station. His ability to simultaneously (and falsely) claim that he supports a project while complaining about it being a waste is brazen - but you already knew how brazen he can get. It's enabled by a genpop who isn't necessarily well informed about civic affairs.

Why? Are you currently one?

I just ... couldn't support a man who has the kind of "friends" he has, coupled with the homophobic, racist, sexist he made. The comments about Karen Stintz were just ... so gross. I am embarrassed for his still core supporters.

No offense though - it wasn't like these disgusting comments of his were an unknown prior to his candidacy in 2010. There is a liberal amount of willful ignorance on the part of the soft supporters back then, and it makes one question their judgement in general.

Welp, that stint in rehab sure did Rob a world of good. It's just been a complete turnaround. Day and night.

What are the odds that the rehabbed mayor is still wearing Tuesday's debate outfit at this very moment?

Would think this would get Bala Barbie a little peeved . . .

Who here has spoke to Rob Ford on the telephone at 10:30 on a Sunday night? I have.

...

the times I have spoke to Rob Ford (which is countless times ... whether on the telephone or in person),

...

Again ... I have spoke to Rob Ford probably more than anyone here

I don't really care whether you ever supported Ford or how well you knew him. But please, for the love of grammar, stop doing that.

I speak, I spoke, I have spoken.

That would explain the disaster pants he was wearing at BMO Field yesterday.

Ford was in his debate night suit yesterday - even wearing the same tie. Rumpled pants a giveaway. / jm #TOpoli #RFMG pic.twitter.com/oJKutEUpvO

City Hall security now telling reporters we can't walk in public reception area of Mayor Rob Ford's office to ask if he is in #TOpoli

Please avoid policing grammatical mistakes on UT unless it is truly egregious - it tends to open up a giant can of worms and distract from the topic. Thanks!

to be fair, spoken is kind of like dranken, and remember how much crap was flung for that one

edit: rats, beaten to it

No offense but you're supposed to use an em dash there, not a hyphen...

On top of everything else, this is another thing that needs to be fixed ASAP.

City Hall security needs to stop being used as the Secret Service Goonsquad.
The ones that defied the MINO's orders absolutely needs to be protected.
But enough of this crap already. MINO ain't the Pope, and CH security is not the papal guards.
