There are two kinds of political persuasion: one for the informed and another for the uniformed. The informed are persuaded by information. The uniformed are persuaded by propaganda. You'd by surprised by how many otherwise intelligent people fall into the uniformed category. Understanding information is hard.

I'm sure you really meant to type 'uninformed' each time, or maybe autocorrect is to blame ... but the uninformed often need little persuasion to don uniforms in the service of political beliefs.
 
I recall seeing some years back some stick-on products made by Deco in retail stores, e.g. non-slip bathtub and shower appliques, etc. Does anyone remember same? Makes me wonder if Deco has created new products to replace those that have dropped off over the years.

Political Teflon, get out of jail cards, fridge magnets.

Especially considering this is his last council meeting for a long time...or ever in the worst case scenario.

Ford is using his gravelly "I'm sick" voice. I guess as a sympathy ploy for all his time wasting.
 
And his eblast reminds you, in case you forgot, that he is sick.

Good morning friends,

As I enter my last Council meeting prior to surgery, I wanted to share this article that was recently posted on therebel.media

As always, please feel free to contact my office any time.

Accidental meeting: Sandro Lisi and Rob Fords just bumped into each other in city hall Cafe on the Square. Exchanged pleasantries
 
The "I've got one foot in the grave but I'm still fighting for taxpayers" voice.

Hey, check it. Ford just sent an eblast just to link to that kook Flagg's article.
Unsurprisingly, Flagg's numbers are incorrect.

Matt Elliott ‏@GraphicMatt 27m27 minutes ago
Neil Flagg is apparently blogging for Levant's new site. His numbers are wrong. 2016 Gross op budget up just 2.7%.

Matt Elliott ‏@GraphicMatt 25m25 minutes ago
Flagg combines the gross operating budget AND the rate supported budget to get his 2015 numbers. Not a correct comparison.

Anyway, I hate to give that any attention, but worried someone might read it and think, "hey, maybe this is reality!"

Probably not illegal since the information is public record (phone listings) but what Josie may or may not have been counselling others to do in the form of 'protests' is unclear.

Maybe Josie just realized someone could just as easily look up her address and phone number. And discover that Josie's place is bigger and in a swankier, more downtown-elite neighbourhood than Wynne's.
 
Wow i downloaded the book. Not too far in and Im gobsmacked. And the author is Canadian.! Thanks great tip.

No problem. Since I found that research I've always thought it needed to be read much more widely. His supplement on the Tea Party is excellent as well.
