Rob Ford's Toronto

[PinkLucy]

I love how this thread has turned into "Rob Ford's Toronto and Organized Crime"

I don't. As much as I dislike the man, I don't think he is linked with any and everything criminal in the city.

And Rob Ford has weighed in on a potential Olympic bid: From release.."I cannot emphasize enough how bad of an idea this is."

I knew he would speak some time...

Hahaha... THAT is almost enough to make me a booster!

At Social Know How Inc., we put the Social back into Socialopath!

The only time I've seen sloppier reading of cue cards is the past 20 years of Saturday Night Live.

Harper seems to be using the Ford 'I'm not perfect' gambit.

Didn't work for Robbie... good explanation of insanity. The real scary thing is what Harper believes about being elected, government, and parliment.

He's a legend in his own mind.

Yes, fiscal advice from a man... never mind, it's too easy.

Worse than this "natural" in front of the camera?

Okay, question(s): How do captions for YouTube work - who does them? I only ask because I see that other (permanent, open) captions have been added since this video was first released, at least I don't remember seeing them at that time. I only assume they were added (presumably by Mr. Social Know How) because the default YouTube captions (click "CC", bottom right) are so hilariously off base. Apparently YouTube can't interpret that good old Chronno Hoser accent?

Also, when's Ford Fest 2015, North York Edition (or even Scarborough or Etobicoke Edition)? I thought Rob was..."itching".

Ford on the radio just now claims cops are still following him around. You think that's possible, even with Blair gone? Or he just paranoid?

Maybe he's still drinking and driving, and they're just doing their job (or at least the way they apparently do their job when City officials are involved.)

Yesterday a bomber flew over Markham and Scarborough and other places. Some were joking that it was the cops following Ford!

I think with him admitting to using the HOV lanes, maybe they are following him as he drives? He doesn't exactly have a stellar record behind the wheel but he's never been caught.

I know Sandro was claiming cops were following him everywhere right up until his trial started. He claimed to know their faces and he'd see them everywhere--the mall, wherever. What could it be about, just intimidation? Maybe just phishing, hoping to catch them doing something?

Uh, didn't the old Rob Ford smoke crack? Nice jumpsuit though...
