Rob Ford's Toronto

[casita]

Any chance of JT offering Ari some sort of position? I admire Ari, he's 20 years younger than JT so I hope to hear more of him in the future.

Glad to see Counsellor Pasternak re-elected in Ward 10.

Who wants to start a new city? An I.Q. of at least 100 would be mandatory for all people voting.

Or Soknacki.
The city needs people like them with some part to play.

Doug Ford and family pile back in the campaign RV with his face on it. It pulls away. Supporters wave. Joe Warmington doesn't even watch.

Wormington knows that his usefulness is over.

Mikey Ford 4 Mayor 2018, ya heard it here first!

I know I should be laughing, Scarberian. But, I'm not.

First time I heard Nick Kouvalis speak. He was interesting to listen to.

Or Soknacki.

Right, Soks! Forgot about him. And dare I suggest, Karen Stintz also?

Both Socknacki and Goldkind, even. (Full disclaimer: Socknacki was my first choice; I ended up voting for Goldkind)

PCs cut off nominations "too soon" and it was a mistake, says Doug Ford but "Ontario PC party needs to be cleaned up"

Shhhh! Nobody tell Doug the Ontario PC leader nominations close in January.

How about going back to the old one? Tonight's mayoral election was a little too close for comfort.

A Ford supporters poses for a photo with Warmington and Menzies, a last memento from an era in which they were relevant.

Worms has barely mentioned Tory winning. He has to be crushed.

He can join Deco now!

There's still a single poll outstanding at this point...
In Ward 5

Mutey speaks!

...and now we know why they wouldn't let him speak before......fetal alcohol syndrome?

 

[Ummagumma66]

On the upside John Tory is an improvement over the Fords. On the downside... no more entertainment for the rest of the world. Lets hope Toronto gets back on track.

What a shocking result. I'm glad I didn't win the pool. I was feeling very gloomy when I predicted 38% for Thug.

I think my disillusionment with Toronto is going to be permanent. It appears that Calgary is now English Canada's most progressive large urban region. Who would've thunk that 10 years ago? F*cking Tea Party politics have infected Canada and we're no different than the USA now. The Canada and Toronto I grew up in--with Trudeau and Crombie at the helm--is dead.

From Wormington. But keep in mind:

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Long, long way to go until then. Ford said recently that he has a "50-50" chance of surviving his cancer.

There will be a Ward 2 by-election.

Apparently that's something of a tradition.
