Rob Ford's Toronto

[Scarberian]

Pleased with the Mayoral results. Congrats Toronto - junking the Ford as your main drive is very cool!

Yep, I was hoping for more of a crushing loss for Doug, but I'm satisfied enough with this.

But ack!!! Ward 2? Seriously?!!!! And Domise so far in third place? That's cracked. And I use the term on purpose... :\

Yep again. I was very surprised with Domise low numbers. Rob sounds like he will act as the self appointed opposition to Mayor JTory. Look forward to Rob whining " But Joooohn...when -I- was Mayor..". And the universe just may see fit to grant Rob a speedy and miraculous recovery, so he can be camping and defending the streets of TO from the evils of LRTs for the next 4 years.

And Mikey Ford is in like Flynn. Man, what an age we live in.

No kidding, the crowd started booing John Tory as soon as he uttered his name. Sometimes I wonder who's worse, the Ford brothers or Ford Nation.

Ford Nation, hands down, they have no dampers.

Is anybody posting school board results yet?

CBC has them all

Seems Mainstream got the polls pretty close.

It's interesting to see that ward 16, which covers a largely Jewish area, had the lowest Ford vote (just over 10%). Wonder how it would have gone if he hadn't been such a dick?

Thanks!

Ford Nation, hands down, they have no dampers.

I agree. Remember, where we had Ford saying "many of my doctors are Jewish", we had Ford Nationalists saying "go back to China".

I guess it's up to Jude now.

Iola Fortino is here. It looks like she was scrutineering.

Tory's party attendees applauding all other candidates, including both Fords. Nice words to Olivia as well from Tory. Such a contrast to the crowd at Doug's party.

Tory giving classy credit to Chow.

And now to Soks, Stintz, and Goldkind!

I voted for Chow but I'm satisfied with Tory being mayor. Ford Nation is really a disrespectful bunch. No booing whatsoever from us Chow supporters.

Did Mikey lose?

no, he won

Mike Ford wins. What the fuck.

Look at the qualifications of the man he defeated:

And Mikey Ford is in like Flynn. Man, what an age we live in.

When I think about how he got in, I'm still surprised and sickened. The system, for a better word is truly broken. It wasn't as if the incumbent John Hastings) was incompetent, or there was no opposition.

UN-fucking-real!

I liked the French, it was a nice touch
