  1. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Mayor HOGG, that's pretty subtle.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    What's more, Dougie these days looks like a pimple about to pop. He might be vegan in Toronto, but I have no doubt he eats meat in C dot.
  3. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    And so appears . . . Hotmail Lawyer!
  4. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    According to Towhey's book, if my memory serves, there was also a rather tense stand-off when Doug thought he should be among the select few to sit down in private with Mayor Emanuel. Lots of shouting, but who knows if Emanuel was aware of it. It was Towhey running interference, which was just...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I think Renata's mother is the real hero of this story. Don't forget, even though Renata lost a father, her mother lost her husband; and yet there she is, seemingly the only responsible adult around, forever taking care of her grandchildren, all the while having to deal with her daughter's...

    TRIGGER WARNING: Link leads to huge angry DoFo face!
  7. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Actually, I think the greater parallel with the Carrier thing is Ford's attention to constituency work. Ford was known for solving people's problems one by one; Trump is known for making deals. Both are ignoring the fact that the scale and the nature of their responsibilities has changed, both...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Actually, probably less! Still, cui bono?
  9. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Cui bono? It got Doug exactly what he wanted, a long live interview on a Ford-friendly news network. And once he had that, why waste time on something that would probably end up a twenty-second clip on the evening news? In fact, ducking the scrum has the extra bonus of making the hated media...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Procession is exactly the word . . . followed I fear by a coronation.
  11. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I've been watching it, too. Once it gets cheaper than firewood, I'll be buying myself a gross or two to get me through the winter.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Without Doug there to attract Ford Nation, yesterday Yorkdale only sold 13 copies. Two at Mount Sinai. And don't worry, this will be my final update.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Probably the same person who sent it out with typos.
  14. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Guess who once sent an e-mail to Mayor Rob Ford and from that moment forward forever received both official and unofficial spam from his office, himself, and his campaign. Guess who is using that mailing list now. Anyone else? P. S. They're offering "refreshments and food" at the launch...

    According their online tally, the Indigo at Yorkdale sold 137 copies yesterday and still has 243 in stock. The shop at Mount Sinai hospital stocked a less optimistic 25 and today still has them all.
  16. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    On Twitter just now he claimed he decided to take the high road because his mother told him to. https://twitter.com/fordnation/status/801140441441779713 What a remarkable age we live in that one can announce a tell-all-take-no-prisoners book in September, have a change of heart in October...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    That is my memory, too. Also, it's probably a ten-minute walk from City Hall to Ryerson . . . or a thirty-minute drive, at lunchtime. Wouldn't a true man of the people relish the opportunity to walk among us?

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The BroFo Teaser, part 2. http://www.torontosun.com/2016/11/21/fireworks-the-crack-scandal-and-the-future-excerpts-from-ford-nation Again, no sign at all of Rob having written a single word of this. It's all Doug, including his intentions to continue some—unspecified—where in politics. If...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Doug's version also ignores the fact that most of the time—schedule or not—Rob's staff didn't know where he was . . . so, the opposite of security.
  20. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Surprise, surprise! It seems the Sun has been given the exclusive right to tease us with excerpts from the BroFo's book: http://www.torontosun.com/2016/11/20/sneak-peak-at-ford-nation If these are the juiciest excerpts they could find, then the rest of the book is going to be a real slog...
