Rob Ford's Toronto

[basic]

OMG Doug, you are NOT Rob! This is going to drive me nuts if they just keep letting him do this.

I don't believe the majority of the crap Rob was spewing about his record, but Doug can't just piggyback on it either.

I see Doug is just as much a lying sack of shit re: Crosstown as his brother. Of course, we already knew that.

For christ's sake WILL ONE OF THE CANDIDATES CALL HIM OUT?!

 

[Jado]

Tory and Chow can't let Doug run on Rob's record. They need to attack on that angle over and over. Doug Ford was never the mayor, don't treat him that way.

God, EXACTLY. You were not the mayor, Doug!!

This is just disgusting -- it feels like a high school prom king election.

Tory called him out, so kudos to him. And of course his voice was drowned out by the Ford cheerleaders.

Doug might actually win this debate. I expected him to bomb it...

Agreed. The other two are the smart kids who prepared talking points. You can't play with 80s Doug who makes shit up while the crowd goes nutbags.

Seriously -- this is the issue. They should require audiences to be silent, because otherwise it becomes a "who can bus in the most supporters?" contest.

All I want is someone to tell Ford he is, in fact, one of the so called elitists. He comes off as cheap but he is filthy rich.

Nothing accomplished... job well done.

The incomprehensible mumbling, terrible acoustics, and endless unintelligible heckling has people trickling for the exits.

 

[WislaHD]

Chow is horrible at this.

Doug Ford is winning this.

Ann Hui @annhui
Ford says he believes in "equal rights for everyone," but avoids saying whether he'll go to Pride Parade or not.

At least Tory called him out on it...

Ivor Tossell @ivortossell
Okay, this is solid stuff. Tory has goaded Doug into ranting incoherence.

Doug is cornered!

Jonathan Goldsbie @goldsbie
Doug now compares discrimination against gay people to discrimination against Scarborough residents in denying them subways.

 

[dforthandbview]

Doug is getting his ass kicked with the Pride parade question. Nice to see.

We also have no unemployment and no one ever gets sick...

Doug Ford says Toronto had the lowest tax increase "in the entire world".
