[Soop]

What, no Doug Ford as an option?

Was Don Cherry there, by any chance?

Probably not, unless somehow he thought that showing up in drag to what should be a sombre ceremony is inappropriate for once, which of course brings back the question about his wardrobe malfunction at City Hall that other day.

But of course, these people should be commended for "speaking their minds", apparently.

Not like you need him to up the dodgy quotient with O'Leary in the mix at 18.

Small turnout eh. Haters. You lost

Funny, I could have sworn that Tory beat Dougie and is mayor of Toronto.

Still, wouldn't be the first time Wormtongue lied or made shit up.

Wish more of Rob Ford's real supporters could have found their way into the church instead of the leftist hypocrites.

What, you mean the morons at Ford Nation couldn't even find their way to the church?

Now George Lagioganes is on CP24 speculating that had the Ford's not opted for a Church funeral they likely could have held it at the ACC.

sure she had a choice, but she would've been skewered if she didn't go. Bill Blair was invited but had the good sense to stay away (or was otherwise engaged).

I didn't see Cherry, well at least no one was in bright pink.

But Tony Clement was in the procession.

Also first time I saw Randy in real life. He looks really unhealthy.

They know full well the worst thing would be not being able to fill the space up - and he couldn't do that.

I read that earlier on twitter. He's been useless for years, I can't imagine it will make any difference to the ward. He shouldn't have bothered to run last time, his health hasn't been good.

So you are saying she didn't have a choice.

Is there a transcript of Doug's eulogy? All I caught was some weird story about Mr Sub.

Doug said nothing you couldn't predict. Best brother ever, respect for taxpayers, Ford Nation will continue, blah....

Here's a taste:

Rob was truly the party of the people. And we do a lot of polling, and you’d see that 50 percent of Rob’s support would traditionally vote for Liberals, 40 percent NDP, and we had some fiscal Conservatives in there. So when they talk about Ford Nation, it’s a very diverse group. And we saw that over the last few days. Rob was the champion of the teen, he was the champion of the immigrant, the new Canadian, the union worker, the frontline worker, and champion of the little guy. Always said there was a big guy that was the champion of the little guy. And that was so suitable for Rob.
