Rob Ford's Toronto

[A Torontonian Now]

The Folks guy managed to get a picture today with Doug. Talk about clueless.

I love this even more with the replacement of the previous "Subways" as the only non-Folks on the sign with today's "Disingenuous"

I don't think much of FN will be at Nathan Phillips Square. They don't much care for downtown, anyways.
They'll be wherever Dougie is holding his "victory" party -- that Congress Centre on Dixon, or MamaFo's... or maybe the Dufferin Mall Walmart?

Fourth place in '97 isn't losing an election?

Give listen to this:

Well, that was awesome. I hope it gets some media coverage.

Made. My. Day.

It's actually much simpler than that: Thug's an entitled prick who sees no reason he can't have things both ways and not be called on it. Why shouldn't he expect as much? It's hardly as if he - or anyone in his family - is used to being held accountable, even for pretty, minor shit.

Love that cartoon

That law really needs to be updated thanks to Rob. First offence warning, continue to hang around or ignore the election worker's request to leave. Call the cops, and instant disqualification, the offending candidate gets tossed out. No ifs ands or buts. Out on their tucchus.

Maybe it was Rob's idea of a sort of city-wide farewell tour before exile to Ward 2?

Dang, you're right! I didn't even think of that possibility, it makes perfect sense with the huge RV they have for a tour bus too. Damn my elitist suburb dwelling red apple biased mindset.

Somebody finally stands up to The Doug and tells him to take a hike.

I notice the "other" Doug Fords out there contribute nicely to our camping candidate's image..

70s rock guitarist Doug Ford recorded an album called "A Toast to Panama Red" , with his band The Master's Apprentices.

Bartender-author Doug Ford makes something good to wash it down with: the Rusty Trombone. One part Drambuie, one part Amaretto, served in a shot glass dipped in a ring of brown sugar.

I wonder if pro golfer Doug Ford has ever played at Lambton? Rosedale would be too elitist, plus the holes aren't marked.

I have a neighbour named Doug Ford, whose services include a grass slasher, a wood chipper and a portable sawmill. All reminiscent of Dofo's personality, IMO.

Know what else should be entertaining and fun?

Neil Flagg's impending meltdown. I think he may be starting to ease his way into that territory already.

CP24 is broadcasting the Toronto Star's Big Ideas Debate, hosted by Christopher Hume. Interestingly, Doug is there too.

I'm actually peed-off that nothing is done about Rofo's illegal polling station antics.

So if the TPS can't be reasonably expected to do or say anything, who Ya gonna call, the OPP? The Mounties?

There has to be somebody in T.O. angry enough at FoFam to have made the call already. 100% guaranteed. So why has nothing been said? Not so much as a formal caution. It's not as if the Ontario Potato Pickers would be acting against public opinion, or public interest.

Nope. The whole system is giving the Fords a free ride. Still. That problem is still there. I don't give two craps about what Doug says about everybody being against the Fords. If Olivia Chow had done the same thing there would be cries for her blood.
