Rob Ford:Time to Go rallies-next one Friday November 15 NPS noon.

[LowPolygon]

I was only there for the first half hour or so, and more people were filing in. And for the record, I WAS at a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Monday, and I take offense to that first part. The second part of your post is something I am not going to touch, but you have been here longer than me and you should know better than to sink that low and use language like that.

he's a defensive loser, and now we know he has a gutter mouth, as well as a being a RoFo zombie.

Don't bother with that Crazy4U guy. He's someone whose hobby is documenting the spandrel on the most boring and mediocre condo developments in the city, so i'm not surprised he enjoys playing with Rob Ford dolls. He's VERY easily amused.

Thank You. I will note for the futurr

And what does that make you? You aren't exactly the most civil of the regular posters. Treat people with respect, even if they have opinions you disagree with, then you will have the right to do the victory dance when your opponent is banned.

Everyone: After a LONG absence from the UT website I finally decided to reply here after seeing the shocking
(at least to me) news about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's problems with alcohol and substance abuse making big
news in the US in everything from news reports (local in the NYC area as well as national) to late-night TV jokes
from Jay Leno for starters...

Mayor Ford must AT THE VERY LEAST take a leave of absence and/or to go into some kind of rehab for his
alcohol or substance abuse problems...

If I was in Toronto I would have made a point of attending this rally if I could have...

A recent news report I saw mentioned that to remove him from office would require that he be convicted
of a crime as a minimum and seeing this protest which was also mentioned locally in NYC today he is
obviously losing the support of a good portion of Toronto's residents and even though he vows to stay
in office these protests may cause some higher government authority - Ontario's or Canada's federal
perhaps - to remove him from office if he cannot follow through with his duties...

I feel that he would not get away with this kind of behavior if he was mayor of a large US city noting
examples like San Diego,CA's mayor Bob Filner not being able to stay in office after sexual harassment
charges and the most blatant example that I can think of - Washington,DC's former Mayor Marion Barry
being caught on video smoking crack back in January 1990...If anyone googles "Marion Barry" the news
and video shows up...I recall that he played up the "race card" to try and discredit this incident which
is something that Rob Ford could not get away within Toronto today...

SEE: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Barry AND www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ford
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Filner for relevant information...

In closing I give credit to Mayor Ford for acknowledging that he has a problem and that he needs to
seek some kind of rehab or treatment for and he does need to get some kind of help and let a
competent official take over the task or running Toronto...

Thoughts from Long Island Mike

P.S. To the Moderator: If you feel that this post is in the wrong topic thread please change or link
my post to "Mayor Rob Ford's Toronto" if need be...Thanks!

They expressed themselves and exercised their democratic rights.

If they have the right to do that, but don't exercise it, then all those Remembrance Day ceremonies are for nothing.

Beautiful Response to someone who does not deserve it.

Well of course, these people aren't tax payers! If they were, they'd be working hard and not skipping work, like the members of Fraud Nation.
The real taxpayers line up to buy bobble-heads.

I resent this comment. (I know it's sarcasm; I'm joking.)


I really wish I could have been there.
Thanks to everyone who was.

Friday. Change thread title. Great work. I went to make my displeasure visible. I hope more of us keep it up.

I was just watching the news tonight (CBC and CTV) and they both commented that it was so very Toronto that the protest came and went so quickly (one of them made a "lunch hour is over...back to work" comment").

I wonder from those that were there...did it come and go as quickly as they are suggesting?

I stayed 90 minutes. It was a good show and a lively crowd, but as was commented, most headed back to their offices after 60 to 90 minutes.

Or as someone on the Newstalk1010 Facebook site just said... "they are only there because they have no jobs and used welfare (MY TAXES) to buy TTC tokens to attend."

And the Ford Nation people who bought the Rob Bobbleheads were "home sick" or had "a medical appointment".
