Rob Ford's Toronto

[Blovertis]

And I speak as one who when Ford was elected, said "give him a chance, he can't be all that bad!" and was promptly sucked in by his ideology. Sorry guys!

In that same spirit, let me take this opportunity to apologize for voting for Rob. I knew full well that he was a clown, but if I can say a word in my defence, he was the only candidate firmly against Transit City, and that issue meant something to me.

I expected Lastman-style silliness but not this meltdown. If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have voted for Smitherman. Sorry George!

Has anybody heard from Andrea Horwath? Wynne is already talking about "will take action". Will she have the support of the NDP to sack the Mayor or at least call for an early election? Curious that Hudak hasn't said anything.. or Flaherty. I think it will kill Ford to lose the support of his dad's close friends, almost like losing his dad's approval.

EDIT, speaking of early elections, I was in the shower this morning when I heard a councillor on TV volunteer the actual logistics of calling an early election as if he had given it a thorough thought. He mentioned a fall election and that it would be for a 5 year term to later match up other municipalities election dates. Sounded like Milczyn.

It is unclear why Ford is allowing himself to be photographed pacing the empty office after resignations.

I assume this is going through his head...

Reading his tweet history. Total conspiracy theorist. Not buying his claims. Nothing from any of my sources about that as of this time.

ah, ok. Got my hopes up for a minute there, heh.

a nuclear option: call special meeting to adjust mayor's office budget to $0.00

Cut the gravy!

So, I guess this may be a bad time to come back and clear out my desk?

Ha ha! Zing!

@MetroMan I presume one of today's two resignations was the third staffer who you'd suggested was thinking about resigning?

The same guy said that lady justice wears crotchless panties, and has a bunch of other borderline-wacky tweets.
Like the papers, I'd wait 'til you hear that from at least two sources before taking it seriously...

Doesn't Ford pride himself on having an incomprehensibly tiny office budget as it is? Would reducing it to zero really do much?

Yeah reading back as well. Sorry for posting that. Dude sounds shit-your-pants crazy.

What a train wreck. It should be interesting to see how city council deals with this.
