Rob Ford's Toronto

[dforthandbview]

I wonder what kind of cell phone he use. If it is "smart," I bet he doesn't use anything but the call and answer function.

His city-issued phone is a blackberry. Not sure about his personal phone.

Maybe it will cure him?

A certain scene from The Blues Brothers comes to mind... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO-_rX4FG_M just replace the band with the people.

I do not know what the traditional metaphor of the falling off of the leg braces would be replaced with for cancer, but I am sure something could be arranged with CG.

I think that must be what they call Primal Scream therapy.

Listening to Matt Galloway's interview... what is it with the Fords and their awful metaphors?

"Fiscal foundation of this ship"

It's just 15 minutes of lies.

Makes sense. He is quite the luddite.

Their gravy boat has run aground a long, long time ago.

Doug can't yell at Rob. He has cancer!

And Rob can 't yell at Doug either, because, well, cancer!

Bonus, apparently Neil Flagg is mentioned in the FOI documents.

Can't wait for this to be posted. Hope it's embarrassing for Flaggy.

It may be more earth shattering once the details emerge. And just the possibility of being barred from office? Priceless! Go Jude!

I had assumed only death could clear Ford out of Ward 2. Nice to see there are options.

From Soks FOI, the mayor didn't use his computer. Damn, am I ever surprised!

"Note that our FOI did not ultimately target the Mayor’s own records because city staff informed us that the Mayor did not use his email account or government computers, so no records would be available in any event."

A smart person would have done that so as not to leave an electronic trail. Rob, on the other hand ...

Probably a burner.

I am unable to comment or confirm anything right now. I would like to thank the Globe for its diligence & professionalism. (That's sarcasm.)

Hmm... did the Globe jump the gun on the story or report something inaccurate?

I have never met Jude, nor can I speak for her, but I do know of her, and have interacted with her, and find it very unlikely that she said "Speculative (sic) sports".

ooh, from the Star

If the application is successful, it could result in both brothers being removed from office and disqualified from running again for up to seven years.

now wouldn't that be fantastic?

Rob knows to only do business on burner phones.

wow wouldn't that be fantastic?

Keep in mind that he wouldn't even be in his 60s - and Hazel hang around for 30 years after that (as unlikely as the latter scenario would be).
