Rob Ford's Toronto

[AlvinofDiaspar]

That is what I thought. There had just been talk of him possibly returning without a Ford as mayor.

Though JT will get to have some say over the composition of the new board and consequently, the new chief.

These people are off their rockers but Ford's son is cute--poor kid: http://vimeo.com/110365134

I doubt it - that's a board decision.

But the Board could be changed out from Ford appointees to Tory appointees with a potential change in result, no?

Since Tory won, is there a good chance that Bill Blair keeps his job?

<Worthington> The obvious answer is to put Rob on the police board and hire Doug as the next chief. </worthington>

Why not Ron Taverner? Har har.

Did you mean: warmington?

I mean, Worthington had some far-out ideas, but he's been dead for a while ...

Can the Sun send him back to Ukraine or some other hotspot, like I don't know, Northern Syria?

I need to take you to some rural parties

Not to diss the rural people -- I was one for many years -- but I found myself shocked and appalled on many an occasion. Probably why I couldn't wait to get back to the city, where I can also be shocked and appalled in different ways

You have to be strong to survive in this city.

The Sun has fallen so far, I don't think they have foreign correspondents anymore. The Star had several people in the mideast during the Arab Spring. The Sun's travel budget restricts them to walk no further than Regent Park.

Maybe we can get a Kickstarter campaign going to send Sue Ann Levy far away. Like Venus maybe.

I went to college with Jenny Yuen, their general assignment reporter. The media thing wasn't for me, so I dropped out and eventually switched to accounting and finally business.

What? You mean you didn't enjoy spending your day calling people you didn't know and annoying them because your editor told you to?

I was a decent writer, but what changed my mind was a visit by Dwight Drummond, who was a crime reporter at the time. He said that he could be called at any time to cover a story. My Asperger's brain kicked in and didn't want anything but a scheduled job.
