I am politically-aware enough to be posting to a municipal politics thread on a local architectural website, but I am unaware of who actually won the most expensive and publicized primary and general election campaign in the history of the planet? No, I meant that, for years the conventional...

Peepers, I generally enjoy your comments. You are clearly intelligent, and we likely have similar thoughts on many issues (see my comments below), but you simply have got to get over the idea that Ezra Levant is: a) a good journalist, b) a journalist at all, or c) sane. Let me put it this way...

Try David Hains' reviews on the Torontoist website.

As part of a larger project, I'm putting together a series of quotes under the title "Gravy or No Gravy". It is hilarious to read the Fords talk about how they've "ended the gravy train" and then two sentences later proclaim that "there's still a lot of waste out there". No wonder their...

I'm wondering if this was meant to come out so that they could lie about it some more on Radio Free Etobicoke tomorrow.

Rob is "Mayor" of Toronto as Joffrey is "King" of Westeros.

Okay, who had: "Shocking incompetence (even by the low standards we've come to expect) will be an ongoing theme, as well as constant lies and rampant hypocrisy. There will be a seemingly endless parade of ethical violations, but even the major ones will eventually seem like background muzak...

Obviously MetroMan is a shark and I'm a guppy, but what he described here jives with what I've heard - a LOT of couch time. This is good news for two reasons: 1) It means that my information is the same as MetoMan's, so I've got cred now, and 2) I got to use the word "jives". Honesty, how does...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the dialogue between the angel and devil sitting on my shoulders: (inhale)... No. No, we're not going to take the bait. It's just that... No. We're not going to waste our time. But really, you have to be brain dead to think... Nope. Serenity now. We're not...

An image flashed into my mind of Renata taunting Rob by asking why he doesn't make as much money as Doug. "Why can't we have nice things?", "He donates his council salary and STILL has more money than us", etc. It was funny right up to the point of imagining Rob's likely reaction.

I have no inside information on Ford's office (actually, I heard 3rd-hand that Rob spends a lot of time on his couch with his head in his hands), but what you just wrote fits with the image that I've put together over months of observation. Doug clearly calls the shots and Rob's staff (along...

I agree with you 100% that Price is Doug's guy. That said, it is probably worth exploring the Price - Rob relationship, no?

It's a fair point. I won't be Kathy's house on the map - at least not unless there's a reason why she's directly involved in the case(s). I started putting it together in an attempt to better understand a situation of considerable importance about which we have been given very little hard...

Thanks so much! In case anyone's interested, here's a spreadsheet of Rob's schedule that I've been able to piece together.

I've been putting this map together. It's not complete or exhaustive, but it seems that some people on this forum have a similar interest.

He listed 6 Tettenhall as his address when he was a candidate in 2010. But he could have more than one house. Or, he could have been lying, which is more likely because he is a pathological liar and a sociopath.

I knew about Rob, I was referring to Doug.

#6 is right, that's what's listed in his campaign filings. Sorry Mr. One Nut, I thought you had linked to #26. Yeah, so about Richview Plaza...

Look at his campaign finance filings, which, by the way, show that he way overspent the legal limit. But I don't know enough about municipal campaign finance laws in Ontario, because I can't be the first person to have noticed that. My guess is that's his daughter's house. Frankly, I'm a...

Right street, wrong address. But would it surprise anyone to learn that Doug lives 500 metres from Richview Plaza?
