He wrote a column explaining how $196,000 a year (after paying the mortgage on the gigasmic house, fuelling the luxury SUVs, stocking up on the Dom Perignon Brut, having the silk drapes dry-cleaned, etc.) left a person feeling positively poverty-stricken. http://www.torontolife.com/informer/toronto-business/2012/02/17/jonathan-kay-responds-to-gawker/ (Those examples are my own, in the flavour of his article. I couldn't stomach the thought of re-reading it for accurate quotes.)

yikes. I am a SAHP(arent) right now (read looking for work) and my husband makes a bit more than half his salary and we've got plenty of gravy floating around. No monthly "wardrobe refreshing" or SUVs here, tho (because that seems like a bit of a waste). Previously I was a working single mother who struggled to feed and house everyone on maybe a quarter of his salary or less (and did). The man needs a reality check.
ETA my husband is a PM for one of the new subway stations, which is why I'm here (along with an abiding distain for the Ford family)

Well, besides Ward 2, what *can* RoFo do? We've already gone through how everything he's superficially "qualified" for, he sabotages through mishandling and misbehaviour--or at best, he proves as "qualified" as David Helfgott is at the piano. And of course, aside from his electors, he's unlikely to get hired/appointed to any positions other than within his own family unit.
Essentially, it's poetic justice if cancer imminently claims him--not because he's a horrible being, but because there's no options remaining. None. Zip. Nothing whatsoever. So, sit back and let God euthanize this failure of a person--think of it as being akin to composting a piece of food gone bad...

...or like shooting a horse.
And sending him to the glue factory.
And the glue might come to good use for, I dunno...label manufacturing or something...

Maybe the bobbleheads are made from pure cocaine... like the dolls Catherine Zeta Jones brought to the drug dealers in Traffic 
Then you just have to extract it.

True...and yet so unsatisfying. He's still in council, the cops are playing hands off the sick guy, his "recovery" is probably on a medically sanctioned hiatus. And his many victims get no closure. I had started a Venn diagram of his nefarious influence, from his own kids to the football players he coached, from the staff at city hall who
kowtowed to his every drunken whim to the press who had to put aside real stories cuz frod sold more clicks. The staff at the treatment centre who had to toss every convention of regular treatment out the door cuz the mayor. The prison beatdowns, the Dixon Road families caught up in the delinquency of their mayor versus their youth. This guy needs jail time I dont think he or I will ever live to see it. And annoying me most right now? Fake bomb threats not being investigated. End rant.

The thought of FN ( whoever is wearing their crown ) getting back into the mayor's office reminds me of the old saying ( Karl Marx, I believe ) "The first time is a tragedy. The second time a farce."

I knew they couldn't hold out. They were going through RoFo withdrawal too!

I wonder where Dougie's year end interview/blubs are, are we done with Dougie? Is this the end of Rico?
