Peepers, I disagree with a lot of what you write, but I do not think you're a troll. You do go on tangents about the police, and Ontario Liberals, and you do seem to ignore facts sometimes. However you're far from the only person on this thread who strays from topic, and you're usually on...

Warmington, you're better than this. I'm way behind, and I'm sure this post is already refuted, but I'm piling on because this myth has to die. Here's a piece from your own paper disputing your claims "He put the incident so far behind him, he said he was caught off guard and adamantly...

I especially love the second paragraph. I don't understand why the second paragraph doesn't register with more Ford supporters. If it is indeed a good idea to run the city like a business, why is our CEO spending all his time performing the duties of a mail clerk? Don't get me wrong, a CEO...

I'm still way back here trying to catch up with this thread, but I love Dubster's thinking here. I'm guessing Giroux is somewhat of a Lester Freamon type? I'm assuming we'd get a few Dolittle/Donovan centred episodes? I think you could also have fun borrowing from Martin's devices in Game...

Given that we know Ford likes to drink a lot, likes to consume cannabis a lot, and at least dabbles in harder drugs, I doubt he can go "straight edge" for long, without changing his life more dramatically; like by stepping aside for six months. He's days, or weeks away from a relapse, and when...

Doesn't he also claim to have a "professional" trainer? :p Seriously though, Ford couldn't commit to "Cut The Waist", he's not going to be able to keep up this training myth for very long.

Often when I'm walking faster than the cars on King, or Queen, I get pumped about the elimination of the VRT. Not because I think it's a good idea, but because I'm amused that motorists don't understand that making driving less expensive means they sit in more traffic. The whole anti-transit...

I'm embarrassed for anyone who thinks Rob Ford can manage money.

In my experience this is correct. I guess by expecting a good debunking to actually change people's minds, I'm practising my own cognitive dissonance. With respect to Ford Nation this gets even more depressing. Ford Nationals identify as being against "tax and spend socialism", yet they...

These people might not be stupid, but they're being stupid. I hope you send reply emails debunking their emails in detail. My family doesn't send me debunked political emails, but I get a lot of "microwaving water causes cancer" type emails.

Sorry, I didn't mean to disagreeable, just venting. I agree that 2010 was bad judgement for a lot of people. I've been lucky enough to know a number of people that were turned off Ford within the first year. Regarding 2014, I don't even want to imagine that world! I never said the other...

Ford's penchant for misrepresenting the truth, and outright lying should have been enough for people to put aside their politics. Prior to the mayoral election, Ford had flat out lied to the public at least twice, not to mention all the "facts" he's so fond of. How can anyone trust a...

If I'm not mistaken patty posted this here earlier today, and I thought it was great. The more Ford's gravy train can be exposed, the better. People are still defending Ford based on his fiscal record, and that's got to stop. Terrence Corcoran even had the audacity to defend Ford's financials...

This is right on the money in my opinion.

Last of the OACs? Edit, OAC was phased out in 2003, although 2004-2008 is only four years. Maybe a mistake in a number of ways, or maybe he did an extra year? Victory laps were pretty common around then.

They'll always have ignorance. They're still active on Facebook. The comments are predictably depressing.

Didn't that sort of already happen? Granted Khattak is only allegedly involved in the crack industry... but still.

I'm pretty sure the lawyer just wants Ford's money. Even if Ford wins, I doubt he'll be able to recoup his legal fees. There's also a good chance Ford will be in, and out of court for the next several years, especially if the media can sue him for libel.

I felt the same for a while, but I think the humour is more effective in spreading the anti-Ford message, than anger. Many people have been ranting, and raving about Ford for three years, only to be written off by Ford Nation as socialists. The jokes are just easier for the ignoramuses (Ford...

I don't think all of the information that's going to come out can come out fast enough for this strategy to work. Also even if Ford is successfully rehabilitated (a big if), I would wager that exposure to politics, and the campaign would be too much pressure, and he would relapse.
