She wrote the one from today? How do we know that?

Doug left without scrumming and CP24's "Experts" are playing it as a triumphant moment.
While John Tory looked harried, surrounded by cameras and lights, Doug took confident strides, smiling and left; a victory for Doug, looking confident, calm and collected. Pathetic shills, all of them. At least the anchor was good enough to point out that, yeah, he left in in his ESCALADE.
Doug LITERALLY said "Folks," in every one of his answers, as far as I could tell.
And Olivia, in the scrums is STILL going on about how Tory didn't tell her how many houses his transit line will destroy. "I asked him a specific question," she says, for the EIGHTH time, missing the point that:
a) It's too specific a question for a mayor to know, as if he knows the result of an EA
b) It's so specific it only affects about 20 people
I want to like Olivia but every time she goes back to this well, or rants about the children, I want to punch a wall. Tory is the least-horrible, IMHO, but it's not much to be proud of.
This is my image for Doug, and really, the whole damned evening:

I'm beyond disgusted, but do they know who sent that poison pen letter?
Sorry to be pedantic, TJ. But, I believe Doug drives a Lincoln. Randy and Rob drive Cadillacs.

Wong-Tam just posted it a few hours ago.
Watch Doug support her...
It is the same writing at the last letter, which was confirmed to be sent by Fortino.

I thought Tory looked good. He kept his cool, he got his points in, he landed a few good ones. He looked amused by Ford, not afraid of him. He has grown into the task and is taking the fight to Ford.

I take your point. It may not indicate anything about voters in general that there were a bunch of goons in the crowd, Doug fed off of said goons, said goons fed off of said Doug, and Chow and Tory were often ineffective in countering.
Nevertheless the whole scene was depressing, no? You would hope that even the crappiest Toronto mayoral campaign would never descend to that level.

Fair enough - I gather it's a Navigator. But Stephanie Smyth did say "silver platter Escalade."
On a metaphorical level, it's the same anyway
I'm kind of disappointed none of the brothers drives a Suburban.

Even she isn't defending the guy!

That's been known for a while. I think she's working on something else (please let it be Doug, please let it bet Doug)

Seems the closer we get to election day, the more hysterical the reaction from FN. They do realize their team is losing, right?

I would like to know how many cops are required at debates the Fords attend compared to the ones they do not.

We wanted lower taxes, even at the expense of a working city.
In the post you, quoted, I meant to say Doug has won tonight.

Is there a copy of Iola's letter from a couple months ago on the Internet somewhere? I think the writing needs to be compared to this one. Who even hand-writes letters anymore, especially that kind?

Sorry to quote myself, but forgot to add this ...
Whoever made the point about lighting, holy hell you are right--that was terribly cartoonish. Doug, centre stage, lit up like the Big J on Ascension Day, Chow and Tory in the shadows like questionable associates of Pontius P wondering wtf is going on. (I am not religious, but some of the education I got plus Life of Brian have made indelible impacts.)
