You're right and I'm completely wrong about the whole thing. Rob is totally innocent and this whole thing is a left wing conspiracy fabricated by the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail and Toronto Sun and Mark Towhey. Ford is an upstanding member of society that just happens to hang with gang members and drug dealers (who all end up shot or dead or arrested).
Seriously though... what part of the crack scandal do you not believe? Anybody with even a moderate level of intelligence that has followed this saga closely now realizes something REAL is going on here. So really - tell me what part you don't believe - either myself or someone else here will tell you why you're likely wrong.
Please don't get so uptight, relax a bit. I never said anybody is right or wrong, I simply stated a couple of my personal opinions, that is why this board is here correct?
My intelligence level is fine thank you, and just because somebody doesn't agree with you doesn't mean you should insult them, you're just being a childish "troll". The part that I don't believe, is the fact that no video has ever surfaced for so many months but people still talk about it and it's just silly. Just because he took a picture with two people who happen to be involved in crime, doesn't make him "hanging out with drug dealers".
All in all, if there was an actual video, even the Ford supporters wouldn't support him and move on with their lives. He doesn't mean everything to us just because we vote for him.
Thank you Mr. Price, i mean uh, "Dave".
We appreciate your assistance but a lot has happened since the Ford's whisked you out of public view a month ago.
I know that you were being held in a windowless room without access to the internet or newspapers (the Sun excepted of course!). But now that you have been released it is imperative that you please review your Ford Crisis Management Folder (it's under your economy-size package of Rizla rolling papers), as it contains pertinent information regarding changes in our strategy.
It is now late August. We no longer rant about "silly media stories that don't involve PROOF." We also no longer refer to the video as "alleged", or claim that "no one will ever get to see" said video. Further, we no longer make mention of "bogus wiretaps".
Please update your talking points accordingly. Thanks for your help!
yours,
The Family
My apologies oh wise Ford guru for not "keeping up with the times", I didn't know he was so important to the lives of many of his enemies, he's not that important to my life, just stating opinions, sue me if you wish.
I just want to read something NEW! Why sell the same story over and over and over and over again. I stopped reading all newspapers after the 2nd month of constant video talk, I will be sure to catch up and update my point of view. I have an open mind maybe I will see the light you see, wish me luck.
I hope you realize that the Scarborough Subway will bring zero benefits over the currently funded SRT conversion. The speed/reliability of the subway is exactly the same as the currently planned SRT to LRT conversion and travel times are more or less identical (give or take a few seconds). But not all things are equal. The subway will have less ridership than the LRT because it will be significantly further from major commercial areas than the current LRT plan. In other words, the Scarborough Subway extension will be significantly less beneficial to Scarborough residents than the current LRT plan. And to make things even worse, the subway plan has a greater cost than the far more beneficial LRT conversion plan.
I recommend you read the reports about the SRT conversion and Scarborough Subway and check out what experts have to say about the issue. It should help you come to a more informed decision.
Thank you for the first educated response, much appreciated. I thought it was never going to end with weird responses.
In all honesty, we Scarborough citizens would just like a faster way to get to downtown to spend our money. It's not fun for us to have to take 1 to 1.5 hours (or sometimes more in rush hour) to get to the Eaton Center for example. Any transit that will reduce that huge time sink which is a reality for a LOT of our part of the city, would be a huge bonus to new and old generations of Scarborough, it's something that has been needed for a long time.
I think HaveLove is a kid, and will probably pick up on what's really going on eventually. As it is, at least he's showing an interest in the city, misguided as it is. That's more than you can say for most teenagers.
I should add that I don't really know how old HaveLove is, but the bullying comments sort of give off a vibe.
Thank you for your thoughts, however I am in my mid 20's, so you can refer to me as a "young man" if you would like, thank you very much.
You are correct about how misguided this city is, and what most people don't realize is that it has a lot to do with the fact that everybody is divided on the silliest of issues instead of focusing on what is important for us of all.
(Warning little rant ahead) The HUGE debt that the Liberal Provincial Government has brought upon my growing generation, is enough for me personally to want to move to another province before 30. It is the most disgraceful wasted funds in who knows how long (I don't major in History). Apparently crack cocaine "scandals" are so much more important than what the corrupt Liberals have done to the province. What the Liberals have done are ACTUAL scandals that affect EVERY CITY in the province, with PROOF all over the place.
But I guess let's all keep chasing allegations...
