Rob Ford's Toronto

[nfitz]

It just shows that many of you are just as logically inept as Ford.

Next you'll be telling us we abuse our spouses as well.

 

[Gord]

Not sure why Gord is pursuing this ... Rob Ford did apologize in Council for the remarks. Given no one makes him do anything he doesn't want to do, he clearly felt he had made an inappropriate comment.

What next, are you going to find excuses for his homophobic comments and alcoholism?

I'm sure his cronies advised him to apologize. How do you know no one makes him do things he doesn't do?

What homophobic comment? The one about doing needles and being gay? He was partially right about that, though straight people also get AIDS. The majority of AIDS victims, are homosexual though. That is a fact. Other than having unprotected sex or doing needles, how else do people get AIDS?

No. See what you're doing here? You blame Ford for stereotpying, yet you're assuming my next move. The irony.

Funny you should mention "next move" Gord, I have been anticipating a few of them from you for awhile now. Perhaps the name Mystery White Boy or Dugmor would jog your memory a bit?

[GraphicMatt]

What Asian groups?

 

[Gord]

That represents all of the Orientals in Toronto? There are hundreds of thousands more.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Don't reply the troll - he is a regular on UT, kind of like dandelion, really.

No.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Perhaps Steven Bodrug should then.

AoD

Don't reply to legitimate questions? Doesn't anyone have a rebuttal to my comments? Certainly you guys should be able to put a low, cro-magnon brow conservative like me in my place?

How am I trolling? The discussion pertains to Ford related events.

 

[Gord]

Perhaps Steven Bodrug should then.

AoD

Excellent gumshoeing. You must be working with Ezra Levant.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Matlow is a consensus builder and refuses to talk bad about the Mayor (or anybody in fact) despite having been given many reasons and opportunities to do so. He's been the true centrist in all of this and has a voice to reach Toronto through his radio show. City Council needs somebody to bring all duly elected councillors and their ideas together into a compromise policy. Ford has failed over and over to do so. Josh Matlow has been stellar in that regard.

Matlow or Colle would be an excellent Mayor... The problem is he'll have cronnies from the left and the right trying to backstabing him. The likes of Fletcher and Carrol on the Left to the Robs and Dougs on the right.

I, too, have been impressed with what I have seen, but I don't think we (i.e. the public) know either of them well enough yet for there to be a consensus on that point. Matlow has, at times in his political career, seemed to be a bit too wishy-washy and spotlight-hungry, but as he has matured he has certainly given the impression of a more principled (relatively speaking) yet pratical politician.
