Rob Ford's Toronto

[whatthe]

So, what you're saying is, calling someone a pinko is not offensive, but calling someone a fat ass is. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

It's still OK to call some one a Faggot, but the 'n' word can't even by typed out...double standard.

I never said calling someone a pinko is not offensive. It is. Nor did I ever say calling someone a f***** is OK.

Possible ending: 1:59 p.m. Doug Ford two blocks away from city hall where he plans to register, stuck in SUV behind streetcar, honking.

I find it disturbing that they are scheming this badly regarding the upcoming election while facing a potential cancer diagnosis. If you are in the "fight of your life", running for mayor or council pales in the comparison doesn't it?

Unless they already know the "mass" is benign.......

Can we get a fleet of cyclists and maybe a few surplus streetcars on the roads between Mt. Sinai and City Hall until, say, 2:05pm? Just get in front of any SUV you see!

ETA: Just beaten to it!

Ummm - wouldn't it be obvious by then?

Yes (there are many journos at the desk.

They were pushing for an early diagnosis, Doug was seen passing out $20s in the labs at MSH.

No mass in the Ford family is benign.

Looks like the Ford team is trying to carry out a delicate operation. It will collapse the moment one of them enters the elections office.

Mayor's team had documents in hand, but did NOT enter the City Clerk's office. 2pm deadline to withdraw from ballot. #TOpoli

And here we go...

I am sure we will know in due time.

Funny but I bet they have a proxy standing by

Doug for Mayor would be stupid. A lot of Fordites would back him, but then he's be working down from 25%.

Makes a lot more sense if Rob runs from his hospital bed and then dies in office.
Doug could win the by-election in a sympathy vote.

 

[zang]

That's a pretty good position to be in six weeks out. How many of us can name a non-incumbent running in our ward? How about for the general public?

ETA - whatever 'Lil Mikey has now is a ceiling. He has nowhere to go but down.

Oh! Oh! I can! Benjamin Dichter for Ward 27!

How do I know this? Because he's a total effing d*ckhead who's defended Ford on Twitter. Of course, he's also a trust fund misogynist, homophobic "business leader" like Rob! He also posts council-themed NHL video game videos on YouTube. Seriously.

Silverstein, Jacobs enter election office.

The big event has started.

Jennifer Pagliaro ‏@jpags 12s
Silverstein is here submitting paperwork. Withdrawing Rob Ford's name from the race and entering Doug.

And there you have it.

I don't think Doug gets much sympathy. His douchiness is evident even to FordNation. I mean, once Singing Jimmy has denounced you, you're pretty much sunk.
