Rob Ford's Toronto

I guess he's not the only one.

Well, DMK is/was a historian, so he got the excuse to. The only thing historical his worship can lay claim to is a sucker, diapers and a crib.

I agree. The entire family suffers from "affluenza". Doug Sr. and Diane did a lousy job of parenting, but it doesn't let them off the hook for their behaviour as adults. Sorry, that's the way life works.

so kathy's stealing toothbrushes? How very trailer trash of her. If the fords do end up starring in their own reality tv show, it should be called "deeply ugly human garbage."

hahahahaha - "duhg" !

As for Mel Lastman, who knew a future Mayor was waddling along that would make Mel look like Charles DeGaulle by comparison? Yes, Mel was something of a cartoon character himself, but he wasn't a bully or a thug, he wasn't a bigot or a hater, he didn't associate with low level street criminals, and he actually seemed to like Toronto.

To use Dofo's favourite tag line " Noooooooooo-buddddy has done more for Toronto (and North York) than "Bad Boy" Mel Lastman!"

Wouldn't it be grand to have the press corps chorus back with "Noooooooooo-buddddy" everytime Dofo would come out with his signature Rofo defensive comment?

The VRT thing is even worse than that. It isn't a savings to the city as the VRT wasn't a cost to the city, it was a revenue. It belongs in the other side of the accounting column as a revenue loss, the exact opposite of a savings.

Woah there! What's with all the critical thinking and logic?

I'm not sure you're really cut out for Ford Mathâ„¢

At this point I'd take the bland grey-suit accountantness of Art Eggleton.

Art looked good in a suit, and spared us the crazy ties.

And, the non-car-owners among us didn't save a cent on the cancelled VRT - instead, we paid more due to the increase in TTC and Metropass costs.

Uh, point of order: if you don't own a car, how can you be a taxpayer?

Likewise, renters don't own property so they can't be taxpayers either.

"Chiropractor"?

I forgot, it's none of our business where RoDoFo are, or why.

< sarcasm >

"Outside court, ( Kathy ) Ford said she understands her brother has “issues” but said “you have to remember he has saved us a billion dollars.”

Toothbrushes. Nobody said anything about cleaning teeth, so they could have been intended for other purposes.
