Rob Ford Must Go posted the following questions to the mayor on Twitter. Wouldn't these be effective if put on placards, individually, and paraded in front of news cameras daily, each time RoFo is present? Just putting it out there:

Main Rob Ford Must Go sit-in discussion forum
Hi all --
I've just joined this forum. My handle comes from a Louis CK routine (love Louis CK) but I'm female and I don't look like Louis CK.
I've been to the sit-in once and hope to come again (when I was there it was very quiet, so I only met Chris and Matt). Mostly I'm on Twitter (@fortyfs), where I've been amusing myself by responding to every tweet from the @TOMayorFord account with a question about his various shades of bad behaviour, alleged, rumoured or confirmed. I started doing this last summer, before the crack video was confirmed, and started up again a couple of weeks ago.
To be perfectly honest, I don't think this is going to accomplish anything concrete. Certainly, no one in Ford's office is ever going to answer any of these questions because of something a random stranger does on Twitter (or at all). I just do it to entertain myself and to remind whoever's tweeting from that account that this stuff matters, that it is NOT forgotten, and maybe to remind the odd Ford National of the same (a girl can dream). I think the sit-in serves a similar purpose -- certainly it would be lovely if it accomplishes more, but I think it's worthwhile to sit there as a constant reminder that Toronto's people are NOT all okay with this gross family and their gross behaviour.
Anyway, Chris Caple suggested I create a thread here to collect the questions I've been asking, so I'm doing that. I usually think the questions up on the fly whenever I see that @TOMayorFord has tweeted again, so some of them are higher quality/more important than others, and I've asked some of them multiple times.
EDIT: I should add that I wouldn't have heard of most of this stuff, maybe any of it, if not for the Toronto media. I'm largely repeating, paraphrasing and compiling questions that our better journalists have asked of the Fords, or thinking of questions based on their articles, and I'm very grateful to those journalists. I'd hate it if my particular choice of slacktivism were taken as a criticism of them, or an attempt to diminish what they do rather than amplify it. They're doing awesome work at City Hall (and taking some pretty vile abuse for it); I'm just trolling.
Below is the current list, as far back as I've been asking consistently, and eliminating the duplicates. I'll add more in edits as I continue to ask questions. Cheers to all!
