Rob Ford's Toronto

[JWBF]

G

What a dick.

And people think Dougie is the prick.

I was referring to how they actually mentioned how rude Rob was after the apology. That stuff usually makes the Twitter rounds, but the media just blows it off.

Not mayor anymore, Robbie can't hide or threaten as he did, it's refreshing to see a little reality shine through.

I was listening to 680 News while going home from work and they also mentioned his actions after the apology.

Rob Ford said he voted against approving more money for the subway extension project because he can't "condone" cost overruns.

Don Peat @reporterdonpeat
Rob Ford says no one told him about problems with Spadina subway extension when he was mayor #TOpoli

He was under the influence most of the time...

A number of the CH reporters were pestered a bit about it (including by me) on Twitter and followed up. Good for those who did (e.g., Star, NOW) because the Fords far too often get away with BS. (For example, CBC Radio 1 just played a recording of the supposed apology and said that the complainant accept it - which of course was before he was rebuffed by Ford and concluded that the supposed apology was in fact insincere.)

(The true believers of course are oblivious. Flagg thinks that ordering Ford to apologize for racist, anti-semitic, etc. remarks somehow equates to ordering him "to apologize for puking while on chemo". I mean, yeah, obviously Ford should get a free pass if he cannot help being a racist, anti-semite, etc.)

ETA: That there were cost overruns was disclosed in the Budget in each of the 4 years that Ford was Mayor.

"We'll see" Rob Ford says if there is a byelection for a council seat, he'll support a candidate & John Tory can support a candidate #TOpoli

Hypothetical, but Tory's candidate would win. Remember the 43 Down project?

You can't exactly ask the mayor to stay on top of the largest capital project being undertaken by the city. That would be ridiculous.

Well, for someone ranting about lunches, you'd think he'd be a bit more concerned about said multi-million rumours during his watch. But no...then again, I can understand his aversion to rumours, given his rumoured drug use and all. Nothing to see here.

And now of course he will talk about doing something about it when he is precisely powerless to do so.

^ yebbut if he'd only been told about those subway gravy trains, he'd have been all over it like a bad smell.

Probably a lefty conspiracy to keep the facts from the righteous and wage more war on the car. (the commies prolly spiked the vodka)

Besides, no true right-winger rides the subway out of principle: The employees are unionized!

Thank you. Oh yeah, and eff u too...

Don Peat @reporterdonpeat
Rob Ford - the local councillor for Woodbine - missed the entire vote on requesting a report on expanded gaming at Woodbine #TOpoli

It wouldn't happen any other way!

Don Peat @reporterdonpeat
I'm told Rob Ford missed the Woodbine vote because he had to go to a funeral visitation for a family friend #TOpoli

"Rumours"? You don't act on "rumours". You act on the reports that land on your desk. You act while at meetings. You act during discussions with departments and commissions. You act after checking the facts.

As council continues, apparently the councillor for ward two is at the Leafs game.
