Love it - Tory held off the DMW endorsement til Dofus was finished blabbering! Awesome ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
No he doesn't. That Forum poll was an anomaly.
The 18-34 group was so small and so different it should have been tossed from the weighting. Raw, unadjusted, the results were in the ballpark of all the other recent polls.

: "NFL's Seatle Seahawks owner Paul Allen Endorses John Tory for Mayor of Toronto"
Rob would probably go on a huge bender if he read that in the Sun!

Ford says he doesn't have the big elites donating to his campaign. #topoli
Curiously Forum left out the Household Income demo for the last couple of polls...makes it harder decipher any type of trends....kind of makes the information look like GIGO....
Yes, surprising that Mammo has not rushed forward too, he is the champion rat! Hopefully he will be defeated but he should never have been elected in first place so who knows!
This Charter thing is so easy for Tory to counter.
Something like:
"I know that managing a company through a chapter 11 bankruptcy and having it emerge as one of the world's largest cable companies, is kind of complicated for someone who's only managed a mom and pop shop they inherited. If Doug want to sit down for a week or two, I could try and explain it to him."

Doug Ford is asked if any councillors will endorse him. "Uh, not yet. But i have the endorsement of the people."

Minnan-Wong with Tory: The problem we've had in the last two years is that "we haven't been able to get any type of leadership" from mayor.

Tory calls Doug Ford a "very divisive leader", Denzil Minnan-Wong says the "wheels came off" of last four yrs of Ford administration
Oh gawd, could they get even more distasteful by 1) dragging the Holocaust into it and 2) get the timing of said event completely wrong? Ugh.
I guess he forgot about his expensive fundraisers.
It essentially amounts to the difference between liars and bullshitters. Liars actually respect the truth. When they lie, they know they could be found out, so they make at least some effort to sound credible. Bullshitters simply don't care, and Thug is an especially reckless example of the species. As it was pointed out a few pages back, he spews so many lies (which tend to be pretty egregious, coming from him), we're still deconstructing one when half a dozen more suddenly appear. With a complient media, weak, gutless 'opponents' who never or rarely hit back (except for Ari Goldkind), and no way to ensure Thug suffers actual consequences for his perfidy...well, whaddaya gonna do?
I've noted several people over the years - including the late Gore Vidal and Alexander Cockburn - who observed that the reason Richard Nixon was ultimately sunk by lies and Ronald Reagan wasn't was because Nixon acted like he was lying when he lied and Reagan didn't. Tricky Dick always sweated and twitched on tv when he was lying. He looked like he knew he was lying, and worse, he knew that we knew it, too. Reagan always looked like he believed whatever crap he was spouting, and he probably did. I'm sure Thug doesn't believe his own garbage, but he surely thinks himself justified to do whatever he likes to get whatever he wants.

And of course SAL has bought the whole name change/conversion scenario, mainly because the debunking thereof is supported by Bernier Farber. And she's supposedly known about Karla's ancestry for years yet somehow never mentioned it in the context of Rob or Doug expressing prejudice. Right.
