Nobody gets fired for cause any more. You eat the severance and move on. Jones could have been caught buck naked, blindingly drunk and pissing on the buzzer system of a TCHC apartment building and they would have announced that he was resigning for personal reasons. Well, either that or he was running for mayor.

TL;DR: Rob Ford: "With around six months until the election, I am concerned that we do not have an obvious candidate to replace TCHC Gene Jones, who was all that stood between this city and a repeat of the Danzig Street shootings. People get shot in summer."
Just... wow. How much of what he's saying does he believe? Does he believe his own BS now?

Chair apparently has revealed severance is $200,000 (I assume Cdn$, not real money).

So essentially he's saying poor people are to blame for violence and fixing their plumbing will change all that?

I somehow need to stop paying attention to this. I'm no longer resident in Toronto, so why should I care? I became so irritated when he began talking about Danzig. Mayor Crime Lord, threatening the city. I see someone on Twitter noting that this was the same way he talked about his football players: They can't be controlled, who knows what might happen if things get out of hand?
The other candidates need to stand against the disgusting criminal undercurrent of this mayoralty. But they won't. They'll categorize it as personal, pretend they're too good to get personal, then go back to proposing ways they'd meddle with transportation and transit plans to ensure nothing is ever done.

Until such time as they can figure out which Rob Ford is supposed to be there ... or maybe it means someone has other plans for Toronto Rob between now and then.

I know I'm not perfect, but this time it surely cannot be His Worship Robert Bruce Ford. The condos in this ad are in a '55 years and older' building (not to mention that they are not in Hallendale). Also, IIRC (but I may not, of course), it has been said that none of the Ford condos (which are in Hallendale) is owned by Robert Bruce Ford. (His Worship has referred to going to 'my mother's condo in Florida'.) (When telling the sports radio jocks that the Fords have 6 condos in Florida, His Worship said "we". In Fordspeak that means someone or other, or some company or other, connected in some manner to the Fords - a la who actually owns the Escalade.)

Only those poor people not held in rhapsodic awe whilst grasping the almighty fridge magnet which has been personally placed in their grasping little (and otherwise idle) hands by the Great Oz, himself, or one of his hand-picked minions. Oh, look...something shiny...

Don't forget the $20 bill.

Given that Jones was appointed in May 2012 and the Danzig shootings happened in July 2012, if he was such a great CEO, how was he not able to prevent them in the first place?
