So it's "b---h set me up". With this family anything is possible. But if it's real rehab, why hasn't the family said so directly? Usually their weasel words mean they are hiding something.

Not as far as I can tell. Neither Rob nor Doug has said "rehab", just "professional help", which could mean almost anything. He could hole up in a luxury hotel for a month, have an enabling therapist drop by for a few sessions to tell him he has been under too much stress and teach him...

Thank you. I don't know how this idea got around that employers are willing to fork over for their employees' expensive degrees. Many employers barely invest in any employee training at all.

It's my understanding that the motorcycles that comply with the regulations (i.e. no louder than with their original equipment) are no noisier than a car. And that enforcement for over-loud cars has been mostly successful. You don't often encounter a car with crazy-loud exhaust anymore. So it...

Several other municipalities have similar by-laws or are considering them. So, probably, eventually, there will be stronger provincial laws or enforcement or whatever. Researching around the internet it seems the motorcycle community is itself divided. Those opposed to loud pipes feel that...

That doesn't work with parking tickets ("now my car is in my driveway so that proves it wasn't in the disabled spot three weeks ago") so why would it work with the exhaust ticket? I think we should just ban the sale of the loud after-market pipes etc. We've done that with lots of other things.

Agree. And there isn't anywhere you can move to escape them except really remote areas. There are whole towns that got written up in "great motorcycle routes" articles and books and now they are tormented by the loud ones.

That's the thing - motorcycles really don't need to be crazy loud, they don't leave the factory that way and plenty of motorcyclists manage just fine without the excessive noise. So it's crazy that literally millions of people across North America, and it's got to be in the tens of thousands in...

I know, I've researched all that. I'm talking about definitely no-mistake full-on LOUD motorcycles. I described above how loud I mean. A police officer could easily just sit in front of my apartment building for a day and identify dozens of them.

I've researched the safety issue and it's bogus. It all has to do with the direction of the sound, which isn't towards at the driver who most needs to see the motorcycle. Motorcyclists who don't have loud pipes and are opposed to them (they exist) say that defensive driving is more effective...

I was thinking more along the lines of the recent changes re: appealing parking tickets. It's not at all difficult to find the loud motorcycles.

Now that warmer weather has arrived, so has something else: loud motorcycles. I have heard easily a few dozen on my west-end street in the last 90 minutes. I know from past experience that I will hear anywhere from 50-100 per day all summer. And when I mean loud, I mean LOUD. As in: I can...

Thanks for this. Seems like a good guy.

Didn't he get a lot of donations from outside the 416 last time though? That could happen again.

Also, giving numbers like that shows what a skewed idea of health Rob has. It's really not necessary to get into heavy weights to be a generally fit, well person. I wonder if his current shape prevents him from doing something like the Sun Salutation yoga routine.

Kind of. Maybe not as the official municipal logo but using buildings as the international symbol is common. Eiffel Tower - Paris Colosseum - Rome Big Ben - London Opera House - Sydney Empire State building - New York and so on. Toronto City Hall is a unique building, so on those grounds...

After those US "State of the Union" speeches, CNN et al do these "word cloud" analyses. I'd love to see one for the Ford brothers. I think UTers have a pretty good handle on the Ford keywords but it'd be interesting to see what the software comes up with.

I'm about 7 minutes in. This is fascinating to watch because the science is still basically the same 30 years later. It's not like there has been some big new discovery to disprove it. If anything, climate scientists are more certain than ever. The scary part is that if we haven't done...

This. Plus, no doubt many of these professionals believe their success is totally down to their own hard work and yadda, and will never, ever be at risk. Therefore they see no need for social programs etc. Ford is an easy sell for these types.

Note that Doug does not call Rob out when Rob uses colourful language.
