Rob Ford's Toronto

[the lemur]

I love how UT has adopted "camping". I get a chuckle every time I see it .....without fail!

It makes me think of the FoBros reduced to living in a tent (by the river?) and Doug seething at Rob for screwing things up.

 

[Kat's Meow]

Doug's honesty is matched only by Rob's sobriety!

That's quite the golden standard lol.

Tommy Thompson's motto as parks commissioner was, "Please Walk On The Grass." (As opposed to smoking it.)

Tommy Thompson Park Leslie Spit

Ford Nation parks en masse on Lake Shore, gripes about having to walk, gets ticketed & towed. Bring it on.

It's a little weird to be growing at exactly 3m each year though.

I agree. Sure feels like someone is fudging the numbers.

Shades of Enron?

You know, quite apart from his age, or his <terribly unfortunate> lineage, most telling thing about MiFo is his silence. Utter, complete *silence*.

Has anyone ever heard him speak? Ever heard his voice? Ever seen any public gestures apart from that deer-in-the-headlights stare?

You'd think that someone running for council would have - and express - opinions, ideas, suggestions, and visions.

At least, you'd think that about someone running for council who wasn't just a placeholder for another inevitably failed relative.

Zing!

Doug is too busy putting words in RoFo's mouth and pulling his strings to do the same with MiFo at the moment. He'll get to it soon, I'm sure.

If it rains, there are some lovely umbrellas down the road, and a washroom if they want to meet indoors.

He'd best hurry then, the peasants appear to be ready to rebel!

‘It’s just more of the same’: Etobicoke residents wary of Mikey Ford’s bid to become Toronto councillor

The silence is indeed weird. I still don't understand this "placeholder" thing though. Rob could switch his candidacy regardless of whether Mike ran or not. Am I missing something?

Beautiful.

Does anyone know where MiFo is at the moment? Busy with his camp counsellor duties? I look forward to the media pinning him for his platform.

Does anyone here even know the sound of his voice?

As do I, but I thought maybe it was a weird Toronto thing, so I kept my mouth shut thinking I was 'out of the loop'.

It's fun to read the comments too - not many Mikey supporters there at all.
