  1. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    It's as repugnant as the photo ops with Doug. If I was mourning the man and took the time to pay my respects, I would expect a little privacy, not a fucking GoPro live-streaming my grief to the world.
  2. Roy's Square

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    At risk of sounding like I have a pickle up my ass: This is neither the time nor the place to make a political point, which is why Doug's performance today is so reprehensible . . . and tomorrow . . . and Wednesday. Thursday, he's back in Chicago.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    It's none of my business, but I think you should really talk to your friend about this. This thread, I'd like to think, is a bit off the beaten track, but it looks to me as if Twitter is where she lives, and those posts of hers, together with all her Graeme tweets, is leaving her open to...

    I wondered why the stamped my hand at the door.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I watched the process they followed to replace Holliday after he resigned to sit provincially. It was an appointment, and anyone could present themselves to Council, give a short speech outlining their qualifications, and answer questions from the councillors. Council then voted for the...

    http://www.blogto.com/news_flash/2016/03/whats_open_and_closed_easter_monday_2016_in_toronto/ CLOSED Toronto Public Library branches will be closed on Monday Rob Ford's casket will be closed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. . . . The question remains, however, whether or not the family...

    Regarding Renata and Facebook: I've certainly encountered profiles that looked one way from the outside and entirely different when I became a "friend." That said, I don't know any other 40-something year-old women who have 5000 friends on Facebook . . . or who would even want them.

    Heard about it? Mammo is already elbowing his way to the front!

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Tory might've been smarter than you think. Putting Doug Ford in a councillor's chair for a couple of years without his brother to back him up is a better punishment than any I could come up with..

    We've run a lunch program at our school for decades. Part of that program ensures that kids who can't afford it still get a healthy hot lunch every day. I have no idea who provides that money or which children get a free meal. And there, in a nutshell, is the difference between Rob Ford and...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I can't recall now whether it was in Towhey's book or Fillion's, but one of them revealed that it was Renata who came up with Rob's infamous Pussy comeback, and furthermore, she didn't understand why people didn't find it funny. I also don't think someone whose second language is English...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I would rather have Ford's foibles tie me into knots for the rest of my life, than be a person who would celebrate the Fords and Trumps of this world and the chaos they bring. Turns out there's something worse than an anti-Ford obsessive like me and that's a proud, articulate, and unrepentant...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    "Fester" is certainly the word that springs to my mind. I'm working on my ten-second celebration-of-life video as we speak.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    After all these years, this is still one of my favourite things.

    In Warmington's latest report on the funeral arrangements: From that are we to understand that someone in the Ford family actually asked if they could park him in the Rotunda for two days?!?

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I worry they are going to regret not booking a smaller venue. Conventional wisdom among political operatives is that you always hire a modest-sized space for events like this. It looks fuller that way and you don’t risk showing empty seats on TV. Olivia Chow’s launch was in a church, John...

    They should've thrown a commemorative bobble-head into the mix. Now those were some queues for the ages!

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The interest on the Ontario debt for this year is 9.2% of revenues. That has been pretty steady for the last ten years and significantly better than it was in the 15 years before that. It is indeed the third largest expense (but just barely) and it is dwarfed by the money the Government...
