Rob Ford's Toronto

[pattycakes]

I was really enjoying the Ford Free Toronto.


"Rob Ford’s nephew says he or Doug Ford will seek Ward 2 seat"

“Our intentions will be known within the next couple of weeks,” Michael Ford said in a text."

Rob Ford’s nephew says he or Doug Ford will seek Ward 2 seat.

“Our intentions will be known within the next couple of weeks,” Michael Ford said in a text."

They really are sounding more and more like the Borg Collective.

Also, I want it to be Doug; only because he hates it so much . . . and he's so bad at it.

Doug won't run. But I bet as we speak, he's walloping Michael with all the family obligations, invoking the ghost of Doug Sr., forcing Michael to swim Lake Ontario, and generally being his terrifyingly psychopathic self.

I'm I find this chart convenient.

I get psychopath and sociopath mixed up, so I use this chart.

Regarding Mikey. I've read on here that he's a "nice kid". I'm sure he is. But, other than that, it leaves me wondering what else - other than his last name - qualifies him for a $109,652 salary plus benefits.

You mean Stirpe? Ward 2 deserves the Ford family.

Considering he missed work half the time when he was a councillor...

The by-election will probably will still be a first-past-the-post, not a ranked ballot. Therefore, BOTH Fords should run for Councillor in Ward Two. Better to split the vote and get a better non-Ford in instead.

Probably? There's no law allowing ranked ballots yet.

There is, however, a law in Toronto against party politics. How is announcing the Ford Family candidate any different than running a Communist in Ward 2.

Fun fact: The law against municipal parties was a direct result of the popularity of the Communists during the Depression . . . back when the downtrodden still voted in their best interests, rather than against them.

Looks like Dan Jacobs may have registered electmichaelford.com a few weeks ago, whatever that's worth.

Job security, I suppose.

I wonder . . . is that his taxpayer-funded phone number?

It's also his DJ business cell phone, so one hopes not.

We're still talking about Warmington, right?

You've been on fire lately.

I wonder what is the delay, or need to announce "it'll be either x or y"? Is it that both of them want the job and are fighting over who gets it? Or neither of them want it and are trying to get the other guy to do it. We all know Doug hates the job, but he might want the position inside City Hall (we know he's not going to do any real work, anyways; and no one will hold him to account).

I don't know why they're delaying. If I was in charge of the decision I'd be hiring a polling company to see who has the best chance of winning as there won't be much of a campaign period.

It would be awfully embarrassing to pull Mike out of his trustee spot only to have him lose Ward 2.
