Rob Ford's Toronto

[JWBF]

I've had to stop myself from offering help to LeeAnne (as I really wouldn't be any help at all). She seems like a wounded animal in a horrible place and she is literally, on Twitter at least, crying out for help. Eek.

It sucks when all you can do is watch the trainwreck happen, however, it also does no good to ride the train yourself.

Tory slams Ford over proposed hydro rate hike

“What we’ve got here is a situation where Doug Ford and Rob Ford are so busy fighting everybody from the police to the media to assorted others, that they have completely fallen asleep at he switch on every aspect of protecting the people,” Tory said.

“In this case we see that Hydro comes out in the dark of night, on the cusp of a holiday weekend with notice of a rate increase with no explanation, no sort of previous education of the public on what the money is going to be used for.

“It’s a city agency and Rob Ford hand picks some of the members of the board.”

[...]

Tory said the timing of the announcement “is a classic attempt to bury something and Rob Ford should, have by now made it clear that kind of stuff doesn’t happen because it is not transparent and it is not fair to those who pay the hydro bills.”

This evil woman knowen as kathy ford was never charged with accessory after the murder of my brother Mike Kiklas. Even though she taunted her the husband ennio with her affection for my brother that brought on my brothers passing. I hope her life is hell.

Kathy ford is a low life. From passing bad checks, gun play, murder, multiple store thefts and now as low stealing tooth brushes. Whats next with this woman. Lives on goverment money, gets methadone supplied by the government this is tax payers money. Rob ford has done his best to keep her hidden from public eye as she is an embarrassment to the whole family

Kathy has a long rap sheet. This 25 hour thing is a walk in the park. If it was not for her family, she would be doing time

Hmmm... Robbie (I do it all for the taxpayers) Ford supporting a higher Hydro hike to be added to the provincial hike... time to check for IEDs in the morning.

By now I'm sure you've all seen pics of a high and sweaty Ford crashing Caribana (and notably in the same clothes he was wearing the day before).

So of course now it's time to play our new favourite game: guess who voted against funding it!

Rob Ford: From a Whistleblowing Journalist



http://www.ireneogrizek.com/2014/07/07/16872/

Oh god, Irene Ogrizek is a joke. Aside from the fact that she lives in Montreal and her position on Ford is irrelevant at best, her whole defence of him is wilful naïveté - 'Oh, that poor man, why is everyone picking on him?'. And every time she writes a new essay she spams everyone who criticizes Ford with a link to it.

how do your determine that a white shirt and black suit pants are "the same clothes"? Most men have more than one of both.

just to be clear, irene claims she didn't write it...

I was sent the following text from an anonymous and unanswerable email address. I cannot verify its truth, but the message is compelling enough that I am publishing it. Under these circumstances we must consider this entertainment. Enjoy.

Have inquired through several sources. It's definitely a fiction. She makes stuff up.

I'm curious. A few weeks back there were some rumours that Ford was spotted late at night - or in the wee hours of the morning - in the Dixon Road area possibly buying drugs. Saw it a number of times on this forum and was told by a number of sources - though it wasn't first-hand. This would've have been around the time that his sobriety coach went home - maybe mid-July? Has anyone heard of any similar sightings since, and if so, from where?

that's all that i can see, but i believe more was written.

OK. if you see anything else keep me posted. the person I spoke to that week said Ford was actually seen, not just driving, at that time of night, but also actually talking to ppl who looked like low-level dealers in the Dixon neighbourhood. Very sketchy info but if there's any corroborating information - late night sightings in the neighbourhood, info about any drug deals, seen talking to KNOWN drug dealers - I'd love to hear about them.
