Rob Ford's Toronto

[the lemur]

Menses was just on SSN, and he was trying to rip down Chow, including attempting to connect her to fundamentalist extremist; it seems we have our new McCarthy. He definitely, and the Right he represents, are really afraid of Chow, and of course he could not help throwing around "NDP". He proclaimed Dougie won the debate, mostly because Dougie outed Tory as representing the "905" and not Toronto; however, he also classified Tory and Chow as "Downtown Elitists", and equalisation of transit... considering Dougie's support base is the "905"... Dougie is really confused. According to Menses, Dougie another winning point was Tory, contrary to himself, was given everything and Tory has never worked hard. Looking in a mirror Doug, looks like a classic case of transference to me.

If anyone represents the 905, it's Doug/Rob: they have more vocal supporters there than Tory and Chow combined, despite the obvious inability of 905ers to vote here.

Not sure if this has been covered but cops had no other ITOs to bring forward. I'm surprised as I've heard there were other things in the works!

Hidden behind a Brazen III? That would be too bad because the odd-numbered police investigations generally suck.

If she's a plant, her whole online presence and appearances at Ford Fest, City Hall, etc., have been a very sophisticated bit of fabrication.

Poor Iola. No one wants her. You know you're really a freak when even IHTWORF doesn't want you.

Yah tell me about it. Only difference between Chavistas in my mothers country (Venezuela) where I spent a few years, and Ford Nation seems to be that the former are willing to commit regular acts of violence.

Yup. If you completely ignore the context and substance of the platforms, they're completely the same.

It's over and we should all get used to the idea.

Let's get our noses stitched up and move on. Doug is the problem now.

Could that be Earl 'go back to China' Cowan?

How could they not know about her? That is a nice rock they live under.

They probably agree with her but realize she makes them look bad ... ? I don't know anymore.

Someone also suggested the hate mail to Wong-Tam from the other day (in Iola's handwriting, it seems) was also - conveniently - a false flag operation. Seems to be the popular explanation these days.

Perhaps TerryFoxification has already begun?

I'm pretty sure by the time this is all over, Toronto is going to be stuck with some god-awful forty foot bronze statue of Saint Rob on a marble pedestal, plunked down in the middle of NPS.

FoFam got a park re-named after their patriarch.

There have been discussions about renaming NPS in the past:

I want to see them just to see them, after all this time, but: no matter how many videos surfaced, at this point, they would have little to no effect on any Ford campaign. We are way past the point of any crack video ending the Fords. Which is pretty flabbergasting when you think about it.

You would think if anything could bring down a politician, multiple videos of them smoking crack would do it. I think this city's reaction to Rob Ford is like a frogs reaction to being put in boiling water---you toss him in when it's boiling and he'll jump out. But turn up the heat (read:craziness) gradually, and he's so stupid he'll just stay there and boil to death.
